Remote transmission of video images has gone mainstream, and there are a number of different ways to accomplish the task. In the past, video signals were relegated most often to coaxial cable, but that medium was subject to signal degradation over long runs and possible interference in harsh environments, as well as restrictions in running cable in some hardened facilities. But today, advances in video technology allow for signals to be sent via fiber optics, unshielded twisted pair or even existing Ethernet configurations.
The sky's the limit and there's also no boundary to the ingenuity of systems integrators. This article presents three examples of “success stories†in video transmission, which tested the challenges and rigors of their applications.
