GE SECURITY S708VR-RST 8-Channel Digital Video RX MM Rack Media Converter

SKU CH-EMK5-6HFHZ MPN S708VR-RST

Eight-channel digital video receiver converts video to multimode fibre using CWDM with 10-bit processing, 500 TVL resolution and 13 dB optical budget

  • 8 video channels over a single multimode fiber
  • 10-bit video processing for 500 TV lines resolution
  • Video SNR exceeds 55 dB with 6.2 MHz bandwidth
  • 13 dB optical budget supports reliable transmission
  • Built-in test pattern generator and On-Screen Diagnostics

8-Channel Multimode Video Receiver

The GE Security S708VR-RST receives eight independent video channels over a single multimode fibre using CWDM technology. It delivers 10-bit video processing with a 6.2 MHz bandwidth and better than 55 dB signal-to-noise ratio. A built-in test pattern generator and on-screen diagnostics simplify commissioning and fault finding.

Installers running analogue CCTV over fibre

Security integrators who need to bring multiple camera feeds back to a control room from one multimode run will use this rack-mount receiver. Sites that require two-way data, audio return paths or single-mode distance budgets should look at alternative equipment.

13 dB optical budget on ST connectors

The 13 dB budget defines the maximum acceptable loss between the companion transmitter and this receiver. If the installed fibre link including splices and patch cords exceeds that figure the video will degrade or drop out.

Questions about this item

How do I install the S708VR-RST in a rack and what step is often missed?

Mount the unit in a standard rack using the supplied brackets, then connect each of the eight ST multimode fibers to the matching receiver ports; the step often missed is verifying the 13 dB optical budget with a power meter before securing the cables.

What maintenance will the eight-channel receiver need over time?

Periodically clean the ST connector end-faces and re-check the received power against the 13 dB budget; the built-in test pattern generator and On-Screen Diagnostics let you confirm the 10-bit processing and 500 TV Lines resolution remain within spec.

What is the first limit reached when the S708VR-RST runs continuously?

The 6.2 MHz video bandwidth and 13 dB optical budget set the practical ceiling; if fiber attenuation or connector loss pushes the link beyond 13 dB, the video SNR will fall below 55 dB and picture quality degrades.
