NEC transmission cards support uncompressed video up to 160 km

NOVEMBER 17, 2008 -- NEC Corp. (search for NEC) today announced the launch of sales for the NOIF2500, a device capable of long-distance transmission of uncompressed high-vision video through up to 160 km of optical fiber. The device is ideally suited for broadcasters and telecommunications carriers, says the company.
 
The compact NOIF2500 converts digital video signals into optical signals that can be transmitted over long distances. Since video signals are not compressed with this transmission process, image deterioration is eliminated and high-quality video is easily transmitted. Adoption of an SFP optical transceiver module enables long-distance transmission of up to 160 km without relays.

A wide variety of video interfaces are available, in addition to the support of a range of applications that include SDH or dark fiber, wavelength, transmission distance, multiple transmission channels, and multi-directional transmission, which may be selected in accordance with user needs, say company representatives.

In addition to launching sales of the NOIF2500, NEC will also offer the MF712/NOIF, a unit which is combined with the MF700 series video cound converter and supports the same size redundant power functions as current units. The MF700 also supports NOIF2500 transmission cards as well as a full range of video sound conversion cards.

NEC is displaying the NOIF2500 at "Inter BEE 2008," the International Broadcast Equipment Exhibition, to be held this week in Makuhari Messe, Japan.
