Issue 1
This example illustrates the use of two V1679's for controlling camera tilt-heads through RS-422 at an
outdoor venue. Assuming that only one fibre link is available, a CWDM module is used for multiplexing/de-
multiplexing different laser wavelengths, in this case not only from the V1679's, but also from a V1673 Dual
Fibre Transmitter (/TT) and Dual Fibre Receiver (/RR) pair for the actual video link back to the control room.
