The 1700 system provides simultaneous transmission of digital audio, digital video and/or data over one or one pair of fibers. The 1700 unidirectional system transmits two (2) AES audios and one (1) SDI video channel in one direction. The 1700 bi-directional system transmits and receives two (2) AES audios and one (1) SDI video channel in both directions. The video quality in the 1700 system meets SMPTE-259M specifications and its audio specifications exceed AES3 standards. In addition, the 2 AES audio channels can be optionally replaced by 2 stereo analog audio channels.  Many versions of optical transmitter and receiver combinations are available to address different distance requirements.

The 1700 features a digital time-multiplexing fiber optic transmission technology, capable of providing sharp video and crisp audio, with little or no maintenance, high functionality reliability, and low operating cost.  In addition, the audio and video streams are totally independent.  Thus the break of one stream (video or audio) will not cause the break of the other stream (audio or video).  The quality of video, audio and data transmission in BCI's digital designs  is much superior to the embedded video/audio transmission designs used by other manufacturers.  No user adjustments are required in the 1700 system, enabling quick setup and trouble-free operation.

The 1700 comes with two packaging options: a rugged, standalone, and compact unit, or a plug-in card for a card cage system. Panel connectors are provided for video (BNC), audio (terminal block), and fiber connection (FC-type for singlemode fiber or ST-type for multimode fiber).  They are also easily monitored by separate LED indicators for power, optical link, and channel activity.

The 1700 design is capable of addressing a variety of non-standard configurations. Contact us to discuss your custom, OEM/private brand and high volume requirements.
