IMC Networks Announces New Line of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) to Ethernet Media Converters; CCTV Media Converter is Expected to Boost Demand for IP Cameras by Allowing Ethernet Signal Transmission over Existing Coaxial Cable.FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif. -- IMC (Internet Mail Consortium, Santa Cruz, CA, www.imc.org) An industry trade association founded in 1996 by Paul Hoffman and Dave Crocker that promotes Internet e-mail standards and features. Networks today announced a new line of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV CCTV abbr. closed-circuit television CCTV closed-circuit television ) media converters. The CCTV Media Converter series converts the twisted pair A thin-diameter wire (22 to 26 gauge) commonly used for telephone and network cabling. The wires are twisted around each other to minimize interference from other twisted pairs in the cable (Alexander Graham Bell invented this and was awarded a patent for it in 1881). interface of IP-based network cameras to 75 Ohm coaxial cable, allowing the use of already-installed analog video cable, eliminating the need for re-cabling. Using existing cabling saves both time and money while adding flexibility to the installation. "A lot of coaxial cabling is still being used with older analog cameras," said Jerry Roby, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. and Chairman of privately-held IMC Networks. "With our CCTV converters, operators can upgrade their camera networks with today's full-featured IP cameras without worrying about the additional cost of pulling and replacing that legacy analog cable." IMC Networks' series of CCTV converters are offered in three versions: 1) McCCTV Standalone Twisted Pair to BNC Converter -- Standalone converter for point to point applications -- Includes space saving internal AC power supply -- Designed with a small, high quality enclosure 2) IE-CCTV Rugged "Industrial Ethernet" (IE) Standalone Twisted Pair to BNC Converter with Multiple Powering Options -- Extended operating temperature -45 degrees C to +70 degrees C -- AC, DC and 802.3af PoE power options -- Extended voltage range on the DC power block: 7 to 50 VDC input -- DC terminal block allows daisy-chain powering -- Includes ability to mount on DIN-rail 3) iMcV-CCTV Modular Twisted Pair to BNC Media Converter -- Installs in a chassis at the central site or camera location -- SNMP-manageable IMC Networks' CCTV Media Converters are designed and manufactured in the USA Availability and Pricing IMC Networks' line of CCTV media converters are available immediately through IMC Networks' extensive distribution channel, and list pricing starts at $220.00 for the standalone McCCTV, $370.00 for the standalone IE-CCTV, and $240.00 for the Modular iMcV-CCTV.

About IMC Networks Networking the world since 1988, IMC Networks is the leading provider of copper to fiber media converters and intelligent Optical Ethernet and Fiber to the Premises Fiber to the premises (FTTP) is a form of fiber-optic communication delivery in which an optical fiber is run directly onto the customers' premises. This contrasts with other fiber-optic communication delivery strategies such as fiber to the node (FTTN), fiber to the curb solutions. ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. 9001:2000 registered IMC Networks supports Ethernet, ATM/SONET, CWDM (Course WDM) An optical transmission method that is used for shorter distances than dense WDM (DWDM). Also known as "wide WDM," CWDM transmits fewer channels and uses wider spacing between the channels for distances up to 60 km. Wider spacing up to 25 nm, compared to 1. , T1/E1 and DS3/E3 networking technologies. |
