San Diego, California  (March 23, 2012 ) – Vigitron, a leading global manufacturer of analog and IP transmission solutions, introduces their Vi2804P extended distance Layer 2 switch with IEEE802.3af and high power IEEE802.3at PoE.

“Megapixel cameras require managed traffic and many newer cameras require .at PoE power”, stated Neil Heller, Vigitron’s Vice President of Business Development. “With the Vi2804P, Vigitron has introduced a solution that addresses both requirements. The Vi2804P can provide full 802.3af or at power on each port with no power sharing assuring that maximum power rating are maintained. As a layer 2 network switch the Vi2804P eliminates the potentials of traffic collisions resulting in lost video and data. Further our use of fixed network management assures network security is maintained while eliminating the need for complex switch set ups.” 

By providing extended Ethernet over both UTP and Coax, the Vi2804P can be placed at a remote location up to 5,000 ft. (1515 meters) from a control room. Each of the 4 ports can be used with Vigitron’s Vi2301 to provide total extended data transmission of approximately 8,000 feet (2,424 meters) with no power required at the camera site for transceivers and cameras. Using multiple Vi2804Ps, systems can be configured as drop and insert allowing for multiple cameras at multiple locations to connect to the control room over a single cable path. Using the Vi0015 combiner cable, two ports can be combined to provide output power of 60 watts.

The use of a four channel network switch meets the requirements of many applications where up to four cameras are routed to a single gathering point. The ability to transmit all four cameras over long distance using a single coax or Ethernet UTP cable run greatly reduces installation costs.

“Extended distance data and PoE transmission is a complex subject”, stated Neil Heller, Vigitron’s Vice President of Business Development. “ As the leader in IP extended distance products, certification and education, we felt it was necessary to go beyond the network and environmental certifications applied to our products and conduct testing under real world conditions with leading IP cameras manufacturers”, continued Heller. “While camera power specifications provide guidance, they may not take into account exceptional conditions such as day/night operation, LED power, auto back focus, and power surges that results from the start of these functions. Often these conditions lead to requiring power at least one class higher than noted on the specification sheet. This can cause the PoE network switch mistaking detect an over power condition and protect itself by cutting off power to the port. Our detailed certification testing takes into account power usage, all codecs types and frame rates provided by the camera and assures bandwidth and power conditions to result in the most reliable performance. This is one of the reasons that many of the industry’s leading IP cameras manufactures are working with Vigitron”

Vigitron, a leading manufacturer of extended distance transmission products for security and data applications has created a series of symbols to highlight their advanced extended distance technology features.

“Vigitron’s IP extended distance network transmission products are not just new from the standpoint of models”, stated Neil Heller, Vigitron’s Vice President of Business Development. “They feature new technology developed by Vigitron to address the specific requirements of video transmitted over long distances at high speeds.”  Heller went on to add “Many of the current products use technology  developed for small file, low data rate transmission such as telephones. When it comes to data performance significantly decreases with distances. When applying power transmission such as PoE, none of the protections afforded by the 802.3af/at are maintained resulting in a high potential for camera damage. Vigitron’s technology overcomes these obstacles.”

The Trade Marked symbols represent the following technology:

LPC™  stands for low power consumption allowing for transceivers and cameras to be powered from a single PSE.

SBW™  stands for Symmetric bandwidth resulting in same upload and down bandwidth with little loss over specified distances

VZPL™ stands for Vertical Zero Packet Loss maintaining the number of packets transmitted and received with vertically no loss of information.

PTP ™ stands for Pass Through PoE allowing PSE to power Vigitron’s Vi2300 an Vi2400 series as well as cameras and other devices without the need of external power supplies

EPTP ™ stands for Extended Pass Through PoE operating in the same manner as PTP™ with power handling capacity up to 60 watts.

MPC™ stands for MegaPixel Certified. The Symbol covers three areas. First is compliance to RFC2544 for TCP/IP packet loss transmission. Second is the ability to handle Jumbo frames ranging from 1518 to 9000 bytes

HRD™ stands for Hardened as applied to the ability to operate under extended temperature ranges from -40C to +75C.

“Extended distance IP transmission is a complex subject and can often lead to systems that will not perform as expected. Vigitron’s goal is to be the educational leader in this area. The symbols are the start of this process,” concluded Heller.
