Sophisticated single-channel transmitter from AMG Systems

AMG Systems has announced that the company's Vision 5000 transmitter series has been enhanced with additional options. In addition to high-resolution video at 728 TV lines, the compact transmitter - just 55x55x26mm and weighing only 150g - can now achieve transmission distances in excess of 7km/4.3 miles on multimode fibre (Vision 5600) and more than 40km/25 miles with the Vision 5700 single-mode version. Other new 5000 features include transmission of up to five low-speed data/audio channels and up to 18 u

558 AMG Systems has announced that the company's Vision 5000 transmitter series has been enhanced with additional options. In addition to high-resolution video at 728 TV lines, the compact transmitter - just 55x55x26mm and weighing only 150g - can now achieve transmission distances in excess of 7km/4.3 miles on multimode fibre (Vision 5600) and more than 40km/25 miles with the Vision 5700 single-mode version. Other new 5000 features include transmission of up to five low-speed data/audio channels and up to 18 unidirectional or nine bidirectional contact closures, alongside uncompressed video, on a single fibre core.

The range has built-in automatic gain control and provides true plug-and-play capability. AMG also offers dual optical redundant options which do not use mechanical switches or couplers, and both transmission paths are continuously monitored.

  • Sound synthesis makes hybrid and electric vehicles safer
    January 20, 2012
    The growing popularity of hybrids and electric vehicles gives rise to new safety issues in urban environments, as many of the aural cues associated with engine noise can be missing. The solution is to intelligently make vehicles noisier. The rise in popularity of hybrids and Electric Vehicles (EVs) is a result of environmental pressures, shifts in taxation and emerging technologies for batteries and motors. Competition among the car manufacturers means these vehicles need to be cost effective to buy and ope

  • Daimler’s double take sees machine vision move in-vehicle
    December 13, 2013
    Jason Barnes looks at Daimler’s Intelligent Drive programme to consider how machine vision has advanced the state of the art of vision-based in-vehicle systems. Traditionally, radar was the in-vehicle Driver Assistance System (DAS) technology of choice, particularly for applications such as adaptive cruise control and pre-crash warning generation. Although vision-based technology has made greater inroads more recently, it is not a case of ‘one sensor wins’. Radar and vision are complementary and redundancy

  • WIM system certification is a complex business
    February 21, 2018
    There are interesting moves afoot to create Germany’s first Weigh-In-Motion enforcement site in Hamburg – but Florian Weiss of Traffic Data Systems warns that WIM certification is a complex business. In the past, Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) was mainly used for statistical (WIM-S) and pre-selection (WIM-P) applications. These abbreviations - as well as WIM-E (enforcement) and WIM-T (tolling) - were created by Traffic Data Systems during Intertraffic 2006 in Amsterdam. This was also the year when we started the
