Transmitter incorporates an all-digital encoding technology. It is applicable in security and surveillance and access control. The versatility is enhanced by SpectraView, an on-screen video diagnostic/setup firmware system and SpectraSmart, an optional PC based network diagnostic system. SpectraView monitors the integrity of the video signal and the fiber link. A break in the fiber path will cause a loss of fiber alarm to be displayed on an associated monitor. SpectraView is easy to use, always active and eliminates the need for additional test equipment. SpectraView also includes a selectable on-board audio and data test signal generator with built-in local and remote loop-back functions.
