Model 914 - Modular
The Model 914 media converter and multiplexer technology enables the transfer of high definition 3G/HD-SDI video, analog composite video, 10/100/1000 Base-T(X) Ethernet, serial data signals, along with specialty data types over a fiber optic communication channel. These credit card sized electronic cards have been designed specifically for use in harsh marine and industrial environments. Their form factor allows for integration into compact enclosures and pressure bottles.
There are two primary types of Model 914 systems:
914-X Series
Representing the latest Focal multiplexing technology, the 914-X series uses a modular architecture and optical speeds of up to 6 Gbaud to reduce system size, power and cost. 914-X series cards have standard diagnostics compatible with an included Focal software GUI as well as LED indicators and LED drivers for cost-effective enclosure integration.
