Integrated Microwave Technologies, LLC (IMT) Presents STx Compact COFDM Transmitter And SRX HD/SD Dual Input Diversity COFDM Receiver At IMS 2011
Ideal for Public Security Monitoring, Covert Surveillance and Other Secure Transmission Applications
Integrated Microwave Technologies, LLC (IMT), a Business Unit within the Vitec Group's Videocom Division, and a leader in advanced digital microwave systems for MAG (Military, Aerospace & Government) markets, is showcasing its STx Compact HD/SD COFDM Transmitter and SRx HD/SD Dual Input Diversity COFDM Receiver at IMS 2011 (Booth 3903).
IMT's state-of-the-art STx transmitter delivers HD/SD output at 250mW in 2k DVB-T COFDM mode. It occupies less than five cubic inches, making it ideal for any covert or body-worn operations. It supports video/audio/data transmission with selectable modulation bandwidths of 6, 7 and 8MHz. Built in a durable, weather resistant package, the SRx receiver is a ruggedized dual diversity COFDM receiver that combines exceptional RF performance and ease of operation. In addition, it features superb H.264 SD and HD decoding. When coupled together, IMT provides a complete end-to-end military microwave transmit and receive solution.
STx can output 250mW and may be reduced to low power 20mW with the simple press of a button. If using a single video stream, users can simply switch the STx into NBCOFDM (1.25 MHz/2.5 MHz) and double the range without increasing RF power. A video test pattern generator is designed into the STx that can be controlled externally through the preset switch or programmed to be automatically enabled when the video input is lost. The STx has an ASI input and output providing the ability to stack or multiplex multiple units. Because it is capable of AES encryption, the STx is ideal for public security monitoring, covert surveillance and other secure transmission applications. It also has a clean and user-friendly local control panel. Its user interface allows quick control of preset selection, RF power, standby modes and covert display mode.
Supporting a broad array of video output signals, including HD, ASI, HD-SDI and SD-SDI (SDI is auto switched depending on signal received), the SRx also has a composite video output, which is down converted to SD when receiving HD signals. The SRx receiver uses standardized cables and requires no special adapters. The SRx also features an Ethernet port for streaming video over a LAN to remote software or hardware decoders. This allows many remote viewers to monitor the same video simultaneously, increasing situational awareness.
Both the STx and SRx require little set up. STx users can simply apply video power, connect to an antenna and select a preset. The SRx rapidly configures itself depending on the signal being received. For advanced functions, an easy-to-use administration software package is supplied with both products. This software package allows an administrator to configure up to 16 custom presets.
The 2011 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium is the world's premier microwave conference. It features a large trade show, technical sessions, workshops and panel sessions in covering a wide range of topics. Attendees are interested in wireless communication, radar, RF technologies, high frequency semiconductors, electromagnetics, commercial and military RF, microwave and mm-wave electronics and applications. Attendees represent an international group of engineers and researchers developing technologies to support the microwave and RF industry.
