  • Audio and video transmission from a fuel station store to a fuel pump communication unit
    Patent number: 5719779
    Abstract: A fuel station communication system used to transmit audio and video information to customers at fuel pumps. The fuel station communication system includes a transmitter located in a station store and a receiver having a communication unit located at a fuel pump. A wire pair connects the transmitter and receiver together for transmitting audio and video signals from the transmitter to the receiver. To provide for simultaneous transmission of the audio and video signals over the wire pair, the transmitter includes a modulator and signal summer. The modulator modulates the audio signal above the video signal, and the signal summer adds the modulated audio signal and the video signal together to form a combined, audio-video signal. A differential line driver and differential line receiver are connected to provide transmission of the audio-video signal from the transmitter to the receiver.
