Atlona Technologies has released a new line of video extenders that transfer high definition video over multi-mode SC type fiber optic cable up to 1000 ft without any signal loss. These new extenders serve not only as a way for companies to send video signal far beyond the lengths of actual cables, but also provide a measure of security. Since Fiber Optic cable is immune to interference caused by electromagnetic fields (EMF/EMI), these extenders are perfect for medical imaging applications where a perfect picture is not only ideal, but necessary.
Atlona’s RGB/YPbPr versions (models AT-RGBF30S and AT-RGBF30R)
These UL/CE approved units are equipped with advanced digital fiber optic technology allowing for self adjustment with no compression, bit reduction, or signal degradation. Multiple signals can be run in a single conduit without crosstalk. The AT-RGBF30SR is CEC compliant and supports 12-bit color depth and has an 8dB input equalizer, which compensates losses over 5 meters (16 ft). The send and receive units of these RGB baluns are sold as separate pieces to allow users the ability to convert among multiple HD video types depending on the receiver unit. This unit is compatible with Atlona’s DVI or HDMI receiver units (models: AT-DVIF30SR and AT-HDF30SR) making it versatile enough to handle even the most complicated digital signage application. These units also feature two-way audio and RS232, allowing for actual communication with attached devices.
Atlona’s new AT-RGBF30S and AT-RGBF30R are expected to start shipping by July 7, 2009 with an MSRP of $1,200.00 each.
