The DLC300 is a flexible fiber optic transport module for all digital video
formats from 19.39Mb/s (ATSC) to 2.97Gb/s (3G-SDI). The DLC300 is a
single-module, user configurable to function as a transmitter, receiver,
or repeater and supports route diversity as well as ATSC to DVB-ASI
conversion.
The DLC300 incorporates numerous features in a flexible, easy-to-deploy and
configure module with unparalleled quality and reliability. The module optically
transports all digital formats from 19.39Mb/s ATSC to 3G-SDI (SMPTE 424M).
To minimize inventory costs and simplify deployment, it can be configured as a
receiver, transmitter, or repeater. For route diversity and optical flexibility the DLC300
also features dual optical SFP modules available in WDM, CWDM, or DWDM optical
wavelengths. To transport across metro optical amplified networks, dithering of all SDI
formats has been included, as well as conversion from SMPTE 310M to DVB-ASI.
Cost-effective, flexible, and reliable, the DLC300 continues Artel’s tradition of making the
world’s most innovative and reliable video over optical transport hardware.
