Sophisticated single-channel transmitter from AMG Systems

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.
