MONMOUTH JUNCTION, NJ -
May 11, 2010 - Infinova today announced that the ten facilities in the Chilean
private jail system are using Infinova fiber optic video multiplexers with dual
data and audio transmission and reception capabilities along with Infinova analog
matrix switchers with IP output for video transmission. The Chilean Ministry
of Justice and Corrections has outsourced low and medium security correction
facilities, including construction and management, to a private management company.
The private jails are located throughout the country.
"Fiber optic transmission
was chosen for this implementation because fiber uniquely preserves the quality
of video signals, provides a high level of security, transmits at higher bandwidths
and lower losses, and operates at distances five times greater than coaxial
cable," explains Mark S. Wilson, Infinova vice president, marketing. "Importantly,
Infinova fiber optic products easily integrate with Southern Microwave's perimeter
control systems, which the private jail uses to transmit audio and video images."
With the Infinova fiber
optic video multiplexers with dual data and audio transmission and reception
capabilities, the private jail system can transmit digitally encoded video channels
with audio and data over one optical fiber. Their data format supports factory
default setting RS-232, DIP selectable RS-422, RS-485, Manchester or bi-phase.
The analog matrix switcher with IP output lets them turn the analog signals
from their cameras into digital signals for transmission over the Southern Microwave
equipment. For the private jail system, this is important because both the jail
warden and the adminstrator can view what is going on using the matrix switcher
via Internet connection.
