BN723
Features
- The BN723 provides serial control data over Fibre
- The rugged design allows the unit to be deployed in OB or flypack applications.
- Can be supplied in multimode, singlemode, and CWDM variations to suit all applications, offering a perfect complement to the video to optical converters.
- Power can be supplied direct to the unit from the standard bluebell PS12 or any readily available DC supply found on-site.
- A complimentary modular BC Series card is also available when a 19” rack-based solution is required
BN723
Electrical to Optical Transceiver for Serial Data Control
Description
Electrical to Optical Transceiver for Control
The BN723 is a compact stand-alone multi-format converter for control signals. Control data and GPI signals are transmitted over a pair of fibres.The BN723 can be supplied in multimode, singlemode and CWDM variations to suit all applications and is a perfect complement to video converter modules. Power is provided by a DC source of 4.5 to 17V via a 4 pin XLR or the Bluebell PS12 in-line power adapter.
The BC723 version fits in Bluebell 19” rack frames. Please contact the Sales Office for more information.
For applications requiring analogue audio in addition to serial control data, the BN623 is available.
