Description
The ILC300 is a flexible fiber optic transport module for all digital video formats from 19.39Mb/s (ATSC) to 2.97Gb/s (3G-SDI). The card is a single-module, user configurable to function as a transmitter, receiver, or repeater, and supports route diversity as well as ATSC to DVB-ASI conversion.
The ILC300 incorporates numerous features in a flexible, easy-to-deploy and configure module with unparalleled quality and reliability. The module optically transports all digital formats from 19.39Mb/s ATSC to 3G-SDI (SMPTE 424M).
To minimize inventory costs and simplify deployment, it can be configured as a receiver, transmitter, or repeater. For route diversity and optical flexibility, the ILC300 also features dual optical SFP modules available in WDM, CWDM, or DWDM optical wavelengths.
To transport across metro optical amplified networks, dithering of all SDI formats has been included, as well as conversion of ATSC from SMPTE 310M to DVB-ASI. Cost-effective, flexible, and reliable, the ILC300 continues Artel’s tradition of making the world’s most reliable video over optical transport hardware.
