“Two Way Audio/Data” “Line or Mic Audio” “Crestron Control”

“For the same cost as analog links, why not use digital.”

The 288 Series is a high-performance Digital Fiber Optic Audio and Data Transmission System, providing simultaneous transmission of digitized audio and serial data. The standard 288 system is designed to transmit four (4) bi-directional audio channels and two (2) serial data (RS-232/ RS-422 and Crestron control) channels over one pair of multimode or singlemode fiber. Many versions of optical transmitter and receiver combinations are available to address different distance requirements.

The 288 features a digital fiber optic transmission technology, capable of providing crisp audio, little or no maintenance, high functional reliability, and low operating costs. The quality of audio and data transmission in BCI's digital designs is superior to the analog transmission (based on amplitude or frequency modulation) designs by other manufacturers. No user adjustments are required in the 288 system, enabling quick setup and trouble-free operation.

The 288 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 audio (XLR and RCA connectors), RS-232 (DB-9 connector), a Crestron control (terminal block connector) and fiber connection (SC-type for singlemode and multimode fiber). The 288 can be easily monitored by LED indicators for power, optical link, and audio/data activity. The standalone units are powered by +12 VDC.

Due to its digital transmission design, the 288 is capable of addressing a variety of non-standard configurations. Contact us to discuss your custom, OEM/private brand and high volume requirements.
