U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground The NITEK Equipment Solution Since cable runs covered a range of long haul distances from 3,200 to 12,800 feet (975 to 3,901 meters), the Nitek Modular system was selected as the UTP system solution. The Modular system uses an RK400 19” rack mount chassis that accommodates up to 10 plug-in receiver cards. The cards come in four models covering a range from several feet to 12,000 feet (3,658 meters) and can be mixed in any combination. Two RK400’s were used in this application. For the 4 cameras at the first hub, at 3,200 feet (975 meters), the EX560x4 system was used. The EX560x4 consists of a single TR560x4, four channel plug-in receiver and four individual TT560 active transmitters, one for each camera. For the balance of the three hub locations, 4 cameras each at 6,400, 9,600 and 12,800 feet (1,950, 2,926, and 3,901 meters), twelve EX1120RR systems were used. The EX1120RR is a complete system that consists of a single channel plug-in receiver and a single standard active transmitter for each camera. The system has cost-effectively provided security at four remote locations by making use of existing infrastructure to solve the problem. As an added benefit, since only 13 of the 20 available slots in the RK400’s were used, 7 slots are available for future growth of the system. If you have any questions about this application or would like technical support in a UTP system design, call Nitek. For complete product information, visit the Nitek product links below.  LONG HAUL VIDEO MADE EASY WITH DAT TECHNOLOGY
The ease of transmitting high quality video over existing UTP cables for long distances in the Yuma project was made possible by the Nitek model EX1120 Long Haul Video Transmission systems. The EX1120 in both the stand-alone and rack mount card versions utilize the unique Digital Adjustment Technology (DAT) available only from Nitek. DAT provides the means to accurately adjust transmitted video to 1 V P/P for guaranteed reliable operation with DVR equipment. Products used: |
YUMA, AZ - The US Army Base at Yuma Proving Grounds in Arizona had a requirement to secure four hub areas using CCTV cameras for surveillance. Video from
each of the hubs was to be brought back to the head-end
location for monitoring. The four hubs were located at
3,200 (975 meters), 6,400 (1,950 meters), 9,600 (2,926 meters) and 12,800 feet (3,901 meters) from the head-end
monitoring area. Because of the distances involved, coax
was out of the question. Fiber optic cable would have to
be trenched and the cost of fiber, installation and the associated
equipment for transmission would far exceed the
allotted budget for this project. UTP 18 gauge cables existed
between each of the four hubs and the head-end. This project was “ready-made” for the Nitek long haul
UTP solution. In fact, the Nitek UTP transmission equipment
provides results equivalent to or better than fiber
quality at the cost of copper.
