Due to height restraints, there are restrictions when mixing optical modules with other Crystal Vision
modules
.
Loading restrictions
The FTX-L 3G can be loaded into any compatible frame’s slot but due to the extra height of
the FTX-L 3G module it is not possible to place cards from the Crystal Vision Standard
Definition or audio range directly above in certain positions. High Definition boards do not
share this restriction and can be placed in any slot position.
