Telect’s New Configured Router Distributes High-Quality Signals at an Affordable Price; Ideal for Home Environments

The Mica Peak Router comes in three different configuration choices, allowing users to select the right model for their specific application. Users save money by buying only the capabilities they need, rather than purchasing a fully featured routing system. Configuration choices include: 8x8 Composite, 8x8 S-Video, and 8x8 CS (4 composite and 4 S-Video). Each configuration also has 8x8 stereo audio channels for routing audio throughout the home.

A unique and useful feature not normally found on routers in the home automation environment is the Mica Peak’s ability to breakaway audio signals from video signals. This function is common on commercial broadcast routers, but until now was not available to home users. With breakaway capabilities, users can switch to the front doorbell audio while watching the TV video, or keep the TV audio on and breakaway the video to see who is ringing the doorbell. Homeowners appreciate this added flexibility.

Other key product features include:

• A compact chassis occupying only one 19-inch rack unit
• Rack mountable or free standing chassis
• RS-232 interface
• Interfacing capabilities with most third party controller systems (such as PHAST, Crestron, AMX, and SmartLinc™)
• 75-ohm video output impedance
• 50 MHz video bandwidth
• System bus with looping capabilities for future expansion
• Optional front-panel local controller with LEDs and push button matrix
