PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The VTRAN-2500 digital, video transmission system uses state-of-the-art Direct-
Sequence Spread-Spectrum (DS-SS) technology. Operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, it
provides long range transmission and superior performance as compared to the available
analog (FM) video transmitters that comply with FCC Part 15 regulations. The ISM band
is an unlicensed band allocated by the FCC, therefore no license is required to operate the
system. In addition to the enhanced performance, the DS-SS technology provides a
secure, low-probability-of-intercept (LPI), which significantly reduces the ability of
unwanted parties from receiving and re-broadcasting the transmitted signal.
VTRAN-2500 Transmitter
The VTRAN-2500 transmitter has two ports. The first is the antenna port. Each
transmitter sold by the manufacturer is supplied with a dipole antenna. This antenna has
a non-standard connector to comply with FCC regulations and is not interchangeable.
Any attempt to operate the system without an antenna or an antenna that is not
manufacturer approved will result in damage to the system and will nullify any existing
warranties.
The second port on the transmitter is the video port. A cable that is supplied by the
camera manufacturer may be used. The video connection is from the video-output port
of the camera to the video-input port of the transmitter. Note that the transmitter unit will
not operate if video is not applied.
VTRAN-2500 Receiver
The VTRAN-2500 is a four-channel ready receiver. The receiver has three ports. The
first is the video-output port. This port is used to display the image on a monitor or
television set. Any monitor that can accept NTSC (standard) video will display the
image generated by the transmitter.
The second port on the receiver is the antenna port. This port is used to connect the
antenna to the receiver. The connector that is supplied with the receiver is a standard
SMA connector. This port can also be used to connect a high-gain antenna to the
receiver to increase performance of the system. Any high gain antenna that has an SMA
connector or whose connector can be adapted to SMA can be used. To optimize
performance, the manufacturer of the VTRAN-2500 has a number of optional high-gain
antennas that are available for purchase.
The third port is the power port. The manufacturer of the VTRAN-2500 supplies a
cigarette lighter adapter for use with the receiver unit. An optional wall transformer is
made available through the manufacturer of the VTRAN-2500. Manufacturer supplied
wall transformers and cigarette lighter adapters have been tested to comply with the
receiver. Any attempt to use power supplies that are not manufacturer approved will
result in nullification of the warranty.
