10 Channel Video and Data MASTER Unit

1 Video Tx and 1 Bi-Directional Data Channel Slave Unit

4 (Video Tx and Bi-Directional Data) Channels

The Vilink ML10DI is a Fiber Optic Digital Add Drop Fault Tolerant Self-Healing Multiplexer for transmitting up to 10 channels of uncompressed digital video and 10 channels of data over one fiber optic cable. It allows the users the ability to transmit video and data signals from multiple locations over a single mode fiber optic cable. This fully redundant and self-healing robust transmission platform additionally offer a full (NMS) monitoring capability at each node.

The MLD10DI Series is compatible with NTSC (medium haul), PAL, and CCIR video, and standard data interfaces such as EIA-RS-232 and EIA-RS-422. Video transmission signals uses of the uncompressed analog to digital modulation techniques provides for an adjustment free operation over a wide dynamic range. This digital signaling also offers superior receiver output stability, which is unaffected by changes in fiber path attenuation due to aging or splicing points.

The MLD10I multiplexers provide several advance features in the master receiver unit, including a "Built-in Matrix Switch" function, allowing the users to reduce the number of monitors in the control center. This unique feature may be further maintained with the Vilink Plus+ (NMS) Network Management & (GUI) Interface Software Package. The "NMS" also permits users the ability to monitor the entire system for status alarms, such as loss of signal or optical signal, on any one of the system channels.

In addition, the ML10DI multiplexers can also provide up to 60 video and bi-directional data channels in a fully redundant, self healing single fiber ring by combining the optical repeaters CWDM technologies with its unique "Add & Drop" digital modulation scheme.

Applications for the ML Series include long haul CCTV, campus fiber networks, ITS traffic surveillance, homeland security, SCADA systems, and military applications
