BC551T

Electrical to Optical Transmitter 3G-SDI, Audio

Description

Electrical to Optical Transmitter 3G-SDI, Audio The BC551T is a transmitter card for the transport of a 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI or DVB-ASI signal pover fibre optical cable. The incoming signal is auto-sensed and then equalised and reclocked prior to conversion and transmission down a single optical fibre. A reverse path for an analogue audio pair is carried on a second fibre making the BC551 perfect for adding cost effective fibre I/O to compact remote camera systems. The BC551T is available in multimode, singlemode, WDM and CWDM variants to suit any fibre application. The BC551T occupies a single slot in the BC100-3RU 19″ rack-mounting frame which can hold up to 15 single slot cards. Signal and card monitoring is achieved through SNMP monitoring in the BM102 network card. Alternatively GP-Output alarms can be triggered via the BM100 module. For stand alone applications the BC551T can be housed in an individual rugged enclosure.
