Fiber Optic Extension Tech Note

• MRTS Technology
• Patent pending
• enables multiple data streams to be transmitted
  long distance, over single or multiple fibers,
  with complete reconstruction of the data clock at
  the destination end point.
• Previous optic technologies were unable to
  successfully maintain digital video and
  peripheral signals over distance. The new MRTS
  technology has the ability to transport every
  frame of a 1920 x 1200 _at_ 60Hz (or higher) video
  stream with no compression, along with all
  desktop peripherals (keyboard, mouse, including
  480 Mbps USB 2.0 or FireWire 800) with no
  perceptible latency. Moreover, these signals can
  be transmitted distances from just a few meters
  up to 40 kilometers depending upon fiber type.
