Convergence simplified

ComNet (Communication Networks) has introduced a new fibre-optic transmission product designed to aid in the transition from point-to-point systems to Ethernet network systems. The FVT/FVR10D1E Series are fibre-optic video transmitters and receivers that support digitally encoded video, serial data as well as 10/100 Ethernet. The company claims that the ComNet FVT/FVR10D1E is unique in that it provides 10-bit digitally encoded RS-250C short-haul quality video, serial data and 10/100 Ethernet on one single o

30 ComNet (Communication Networks) has introduced a new fibre-optic transmission product designed to aid in the transition from point-to-point systems to Ethernet network systems. The FVT/FVR10D1E Series are fibre-optic video transmitters and receivers that support digitally encoded video, serial data as well as 10/100 Ethernet.

The company claims that the ComNet FVT/FVR10D1E is unique in that it provides 10-bit digitally encoded RS-250C short-haul quality video, serial data and 10/100 Ethernet on one single optical fibre. This model offers the user a solution for current requirements where high-quality video is needed but future expansion and upgrades will necessitate the use of Ethernet.

According to Victor Milani, ComNet VP of product management, "Pairing high-quality baseband video and Ethernet in one model might seem like a contradiction. Our design centre started to see the demand for a fibre-optic product that could support current needs but would have the potential to support the transition to Ethernet without a complete infrastructure retrofit. The FVTFVR10D1E does that. It operates as a point-to-point video and data transmission system

and an Ethernet media converter."

    The CNVETX1 video encoder/decoder from UK-based ComNet Europe is designed for those applications suffering or likely to experience extreme temperatures, vibration, shock or irregular voltage and where humidity with condensation are present, says the company. The all-new CNVETX1 is a single channel video encoder/decoder which has been ‘industrially hardened’ for use in the most extreme operating environments. It accepts an incoming baseband video signal with duplex audio and serial data for camera PTZ contro

    Camera technology a flexible and cost-effective option
    Perceptions of machine vision being an expensive solution are being challenged by developments in both core technologies and ancillaries. Here, Jason Barnes and David Crawford look at the latest developments in the sector. A notable aspect of machine vision is the flexibility it offers in terms of how and how much data is passed around a network. With smart cameras, processing capabilities at the front end mean that only that which is valid need be communicated back to a central processor of any descripti
