...it enables your onboard serial ports to achieve sustained data rates of up to 460.8 kbps. • The 16850 UART includes automatic handshaking (RTS/CTS) and automatic RS-485 line control. The 16850 UART also features external clocking for isochronous app...

...SDI video • The serial digital interface is a format most commonly found in high-end broadcasting applications. Although SDI transmits uncompressed, unencrypted digital video signals, it typically depends on 75-ohm BNC coax cable for transmi...

...of devices are designed to equalize and amplify the signal to go greater distances. Some support daisychaining, so by stringing two of them together you can send data double the distance. • But in-line extenders can only take the signal so far and t...

...video, audio, 100BaseT Ethernet, power over cable, and various control signals through a single LAN cable. This is referred to as 5Play™, a feature set that sets HDBaseT technology above the current standard. • Video • HDBaseT delivers full HD/3D a...

Token Ring • Token Ring • The use of token ring LANs was popularized by IBM in the mid 1980s when it released its IBM token ring architecture. Physically, a token ring network is wired as a star, with 'hubs' and arms out to each station and th...
