HOT-303
FIBRE-OPTICAL AUDIO/VIDEO TRANSMISSION

The HOT-303 series of fiber-optical transmission units include the HOT-303/RTX Transceiver, the HOT-303/TX Transmitter and the HOT-303/RX Receiver. All units are available in versions for either single mode or multi mode optical fiber.


HOT-303 handles transmission of one video signal, a stereo audio signal and a RS-232 data signal. All signals are transferred in the digital domain, though inputs and outputs are analog for video and audio. There is no signal degradation of any kind as a function of fiber distance.
Transmission distance is up to 2 km for multi mode fiber and up to 50 km for single mode fiber (depending on the fiber quality).
There are also an optional choise of front plate for mounting into a 19”/3 HE card frame. Up to 8 units go into a single card frame.
The Transmitter section has inputs for CVBS composite video (either PAL, NTSC or SECAM), two line level audio signals and a RS-232 data signal up to 115 Kbaud.
The Receiver has corresponding outputs, hence making the system transparent for both video, audio and data signals.
In the Transmitter section the video signal is digitized through a high-speed A/D converter running at 20 MSa @ 8 bits. There is no compression of any kind. The balanced audio channels are digitized through an industry standard A/D converter running at 40 kHz @ 18 bits. The RS- 232 channel has a single line for transmission of the TX signal up to 115 Kbaud.
In the Receiver section there is a corresponding D/A conversion for both video and audio signals. All input levels are restored on the outputs.
Power supply is from a separate mains adapter, 2 x 9 V AC @ 10 VA. It is available in both european (230 V) and US (115 V) versions.
The fiber-optical connections are through a pair of standard SC type connectors. The transmission wavelength is 1300 nm and allowable attenuation (power budget) from Transmitter to Receiver is 16 dB (singlemode version) or 10 dB (multimode version).
The transceiver version uses two parallel optical fibers for duplex transmission.
