Other new 5000 features include transmission of up to 5 low speed data/audio channels and up to 18 uni-directional or 9 bi-directional contact closures, alongside uncompressed video, on a single fibre core.

Founder and MD of AMG Systems Dr. Alan Hayes says, “AMG always strive to bring best-of-breed transmission products to market. This new enhanced transmitter is without doubt the most sophisticated single channel transmission device available in the market today. We have further aimed at ensuring that the Vision 5000 transmission system provides high quality, low cost transmission of uncompressed video signals in full bandwidth to ensure optimum performance regardless of distance. There is no latency and no compromise on quality. The range has built-in automatic gain control (AGC), provides true ‘plug-and-play’ capability, and we also offer dual optical redundant options. I would like to point out that AMG’s dual redundancy does not utilise mechanical switches or couplers, and both transmission paths are continuously monitored. I am confident that the enhanced transmission features will benefit many of our customers in terms of saving space in the control room and the mini in particular allows for extremely easy and convenient mounting in the field.”
