1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The 310E/320E systems provide simultaneous transmission of multiple
channels of digitized stereo audio, video and/or data over one or one pair
of fiber. The standard 310E system transmits these video/audio/data
channels in one direction. The 320E system transmits and receives these
video/audio/data channels in both directions. The standard 310E/320E
system comes with 4- and 8-channel versions with each channel
containing one (1) NTSC/PAL/SECAM video, two (2) audios, and one (1)
serial data (RS-232/RS-422). Versions up to 16-channel video/audio/
data are also available for unidirectional links. In addition, the 310E/320E
has an option for S-video, and up to 8-channels of S-video can be
accommodated. The 310E/320E system is also capable of adding/
dropping video/audio/data channels in a ring or bus network configuration.
Please consult us for your custom design.
The 310E/320E features a digital fiber optic transmission technology,
capable of providing sharper video and crisp audio, little or no maintenance,
high functionality reliability, and low operating cost. The quality of video,
audio and data transmission in BCI's digital designs is much superior to
the analog transmission (based on amplitude or frequency modulation)
designs used by other manufacturers. No user adjustments are required
in the 310E/320E system, enabling quick setup and trouble-free operation.
The 310E/320E comes in a rugged, standalone, and compact unit. Panel
connectors are provided for video (BNC), audio (terminal block), and data
(terminal block), and fiber connection (FC-type for singlemode fiber or
ST-type for multimode fiber). They are also easily monitored by separate
LED indicators for power, optical link, and channel activity.
Due to its digital transmission design, the 310E/320E is capable of
addressing a variety of non-standard configurations. Figure 1-1 shows
the front and rear panels of the 300E Series.
