Light Viper - The st<strong>and</strong>ard in the Staging Industry!<br />

LightViper 32×8 ber-optic transport system<br />

The system is normally used as a transport for<br />

STAGE to FOH, with or without splits. This device<br />

contains 32 mic/line inputs (sends) <strong>and</strong> 8 analog line<br />

level outputs (returns). There is a 3 position gain<br />

switch for each input that sets the gain of the mic-pre.<br />

Each input has an associated LED indicator which<br />

begins ashing red 3dB before clipping. There are 4<br />

+48v phantom power on/off switches with<br />

associated on/off LED indicators.<br />

Phantom power is applied in groups of 8 inputs.<br />

The VIS-1832 is supplied with a pair of<br />

transmit/receive LC ber connectors (other connector<br />

types possible). Two optical splits come st<strong>and</strong>ard. These splits (transmit only) are presented on single LC<br />

connectors. The VIS-1832 will operate at 48k or 96k.<br />

The “control” connection is a TTL data port, which appears on an EtherCon® connector. It allows<br />

LightViper accessory devices such as the DMX4o (DMX lighting control) or MD3 (RS422/232/MIDI) to be<br />

®<br />

connected to the unit. The EtherCon output of the DMX4i or RJ45 on the MD-3 is input to the VIM-1832<br />

®<br />

via the “control” EtherCon connector, combined with the audio input data, <strong>and</strong> transported via ber to the<br />

®<br />

VIS-1832. This data is then output from the “control” EtherCon connector on the VIS-1832, <strong>and</strong> input into<br />

a DMXo or MD-3, where the TTL data is translated back into the original format. AC power is via Neutrik<br />

®<br />

PowerCon connector. The VIS-1832 has an available rack mount kit (VER-1832) as well as a 19” rack<br />

mount chassis version (VRK-1832). The unit can operate at any voltage 50-60Hz, 90-250v AC.<br />

Active Wave Division Multiplexer 8 or 16 Ch<br />

Simply put, it is a device which allows the user to<br />

combine up to 16 sources of data on a single ber pair.<br />

Each channel can be linked via ber with selected<br />

FiberPlex FOM, FOI or TD Series ber<br />

modules, FiberPlex LightViper or with virtually any third<br />

party ber optic equipment, with data rates from 155<br />

megabits up to 3 gigabits per channel, for a possible<br />

maximum aggregate data rate of 48 Gbps. Alternately, the<br />

WDM can be combined with our vast selection of copper SFP modules <strong>and</strong> connect HD Video, ethernet,<br />

audio <strong>and</strong> more directly into a channel.<br />

Differences between WDM16 <strong>and</strong> WDM8A<br />

The functional <strong>and</strong> physical characteristics of the WDM16 <strong>and</strong> WDM8A are largely identical. The single<br />

differentiator is the number of Active Wave Division channels <strong>and</strong> the associated internal wavelengths that<br />

are supported. The chassis dimensions <strong>and</strong> power supplies remain identical. The WDM16 supports all of<br />

the 16 st<strong>and</strong>ard CWDM wavelengths of 1310-1610 nm, whereas the WDM8A supports only 8 of those<br />

channels, so the installation can be scaled to the appropriate size. The WDM8A supports the upper 8<br />

wavelengths 1470-1610 nm. Because of the enormously exible active nature of the WDM16/8, the<br />

wavelengths of the internal channels are basically invisible <strong>and</strong> even irrelevant to the end user.<br />
