Video by fiber

April 3, 2009
Communication Networks of Danbury, Conn., (ComNet) has released another series of fiber-optic video products. The FVR11 and FVR10 are fiber-optic video receivers for use over multimode optical fiber. Either model receives a single base-band video channel as an optical signal from up to 2.5 km to where it is converted back to base-band video for monitoring. The difference is that the FVR10 features a manual gain adjustment and is more cost-effective than the FVR11.

The difference is that the FVR10 features a manual gain adjustment and is more cost-effective than the FVR11. The FVR11 features automatic gain control, which automatically adjusts to changes in the camera output that might degrade the video quality. Both are new designs from utilizing state-of-the-art components to ensure better performance and reliability.
