SubscribeThis application note is intended to help the reader get an understanding of the various general types of video downlink systems available.
For the sake of brevity, the systems discussed are digital, COFDM (Coded Orthogninal Frequency Division Multiplexing), systems. The same general principles can be applied to analog systems, as well, though these are decreasing rapidly in popularity for a variety of reasons.
It should be noted:
- This application note is not written as a puffpiece for MRC products. It is written to give the reader an overview of video downlinks, to help in specifying the right type of equipment the first time, rather than after the wrong equipment has already been procured. The only advertisement is in the closing notes.
- The specifications used to create the tables in this document are fairly generic. They are not intended as detailed equipment specs. Please see MRC sales literature for that information.
- Where prices are quoted, they should be taken as ROM (Rough Order of Magnitude) prices. MRC provides equipment at competitive prices; however, this type of document is not the forum for exposing those prices.
