Abstract: A video storage and synchronization system has one of more frame memories and an output buffer providing a selectable delay. Incoming video signals are digitized and routed to the memories and/or to the buffer. Stored signals are read out from the memories in synchronism with the incoming signals and can be mixed with the incoming signals before processing in the output buffer.
Abstract: An apparatus for checking continuity of fiber optic links from source to receiver before enabling the source delivers full power so as to thereby prevent eye damage to personnel and provide a supervisory signal to the system user that the link elements are intact and functioning. The apparatus includes a transmitter, a receiver and a detector for detecting that an optical transmission between the transmitter and receiver can be effected.
