ComNet Expands Line of Transmission Products

  • Sep 28, 2012

ComNet continues to innovate in 2012 with an expansion to its line of fiber optic and Ethernet transmission products.

ComNet is expanding our line of hardened Ethernet switches by introducing all new 8, 12 and 28-port Gigabit Managed Ethernet switches, all backed by the ComNet Lifetime Warranty.

Also on display will be the full line of Self-Managed Switches that operate with an up-link port to forward the Ethernet data to the next network device. There are now four models with and without PoE.

ComNet is innovating the traditional media converter by introducing features on top of the standard functionality. On display will be a unique multi-rate media converter that allows the user to select between 100FX or 1000FX transmission. Perfect for use where an upgrade to Gigabit is planned or Ethernet devices of different bandwidth requirements are being used.

ComNet will also introduce a 10/100 Mbps media converter that offers two contact closure relays for use with tamper switches or where needed.

Also introduced is a full line of PoE media converters that meet the IEEE802.3af and the IEEE802.3at specification offering 30watts or 60watts. These media converters are available with one and two fiber SC and ST connectors as well as SFP models.

ComNet is leading the way with a new media interface. The ComNet FVT/FVR(X)MI[/M] is an HDMI fiber optic  link for extending the distance of uncompressed high-resolution bi-directional HDMI video with full HDCP copyright protection, EDID and CEC connection functionality. The high-resolution signal is transmitted over one multimode optical fiber for up to 1000m. Resolutions of up to 1080p60 are supported.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
