Imt - Ctx & Ctx-ii - Ultra Compact Sd Cofdm Concealment Transmitters
The IMT family of Concealment Transmitters are ultra-small, low power, SD, COFDM, video/audio transmitters with standard selectable modulation bandwidths of 6, 7 and 8 MHz. They feature H.264 SD encoding and operates in the standard 2k DVB-T COFDM mode. The Concealment Transmitters are specifically designed to be integrated into a system featuring a 10 pin standard Molex interface connector that is ideal for rapid integration. Its low power consumption makes them ideal for integration with cameras into very small concealments. The CTx is specifically designed to meet extremely low power requirements such as body worn belts and low ventilation concealments. The IMT Concealment Transmitters can be operated in 1.25MHz or 2.5MHz narrow bandwidth COFDM (NBCOFDM) modes (optional). - See more at: http://imt-government.com/ctx-ctx-ii?cat=Products#sthash.IcBDxPBy.dpuf
