ILC103A - 3G/HD/SD-SDI, ASI Transmitter/Receiver

InfinityLink provides broadcast-quality transport of video, audio, and data across IP- and fiber-based networks and optical backbones in an integrated modular solution leveraging Artel’s 30 years of media transport experience. Designed specifically to meet the unique requirements of broadcast video transport, InfinityLink features a 4-slot, 1-RU chassis; multi-purpose, single-piece function modules with front panel accessible status LEDs and video monitor ports; and external optics in all standard wavelengths for each module. InfinityLink is one of the most flexible and dependable video transport platforms.

ILC103A Module


The ILC103A is a flexible, cost-effective, bi-directional fiber optic transport module for all digital video formats ranging from 19.39 Mb/s to 2.97 Gb/s. The module is user configurable to function as a transmitter, receiver, transceiver, repeater, or 4-channel distribution amplifier.

The ILC103A and the InfinityLink chassis combine to create the backbone of a video transmission network that can span feet or miles. Using removable SFPs transceivers available in 1310 nm, 1550 nm, and 18 CWDM wavelengths, make the ILC103A the most flexible, easy-to-deploy, and reliable single channel digital video optical transport module ever developed.
