According to Victor Milani, ComNet VP of Product Management, "Video with up-the-coax data capabilities fibre optic products are used in applications where camera PTZ control is required. Just about every camera manufacturer offers some model that requires PTZ control. We at ComNet test our products to work with 686 Pelco Coaxitron, 598 Panasonic Proteus and 311 Bosch Bylinx. These are PTZ products whose control data is transported with the video over a coaxial cable. The major advantage the ComNet FVTFVR1031UTC provides is exceptional video quality."
