LINK™ AV and Serial Communication MK II
The Innova Link AV video and serial multiplexer is the core system in Innova’s fibre optic product family. The system provides video and serial lines over a single fibre, as well as diagnostics interface for the other products in the Link family.
Description
The flexible and modular design aims to meet the requirements of all types of remotely operated systems, from small observation vehicles to full survey spreads. This flexibility also makes it easy to upgrade older systems to increase capacity and bandwidth in a cost-efficient manner.
The system consists of a motherboard with video, optics and diagnostics interface, and extension boards for additional video and serial data channels. All video and serial data are transmitted over a pair of wavelengths.
The AV board has 6 on board analogue video channels and extension connectors for up to 4 extension boards with additional video and data channels.
Key features
The design is based on Innova’s long experience with remotely operated vehicle systems and provides a wide range of features, including:
- Up to 8 channels of high-quality analogue video
- Up to 36 channel of serial data channels
- Serial channels can be galvanic isolated by using an Extension Board
- All video channels are fully AC coupled
- Extended diagnostics data and activity indicators
- Single mode and multi-mode fibre options
- Can be combined with other boards in the Link Family over single fibre with the use of CWDM optical multiplexers
