Python Plus configuration
Designed as a modular product, Python Plus supports a wide variety of signals, with each
port providing multirate capability. Each unit can transport a mix of digital and IP cameras
or virtually any digital video transceiver through fiber or copper cables. One unit can
support up to eight of any type of cameras, 2,048 AES channels or any mix of these signals
desired, all in a compact 1 RU frame. All of these signals can be converted individually to
fiber, or muxed to transport them over a single or pair of fibers.
A typical Python Plus unit consists of a Python Plus frame that can be equipped with up to 4
Fiber/Coaxial Cards and Rear panel options.
The Python Plus has two main interface/interconnection panels:
• The Front panel
• The Rear panel
