Communication Networks (30 ComNet) has launched what it claims is a revolutionary new fibre-optic video product line that can seamlessly restore a CCTV network. The ComNet SHR line consists of the FVTFVR1010SHR single channel with data series, the FVT/FVR4014SHR series four video channels with four data channels and FVT/FVR8018SHR series eight video channels with eight data channels. All models are digital fibre-optic video transmitters and receivers with bi-directional data that incorporate what the company says is a unique self-healing feature. In the event of a broken fibre connection, the video and data transmission is seamlessly re-routed when the system is configured in a ring topology. ComNet says this feature, combined with the products' exceptional reliability, ensure a virtually failsafe CCTV network.

Other key features provided by the SHR line include: full-motion 30fps true broadcast-quality video and serial data with no latency; video/data that can be accessed anywhere the user requires monitoring; and multiple management centres to access and control video and data control function.

ComNet says the SHR line also provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional Ethernet video/data networks, offering far simpler system integration and reduced installation and lifecycle costs. Moreover, IP network functionality can be achieved by inserting video and data on to an Ethernet network using a readily available codec.
