Announcing the new Automatic Picture Rejuvenator APR-474
It is now possible to transmit clear pictures over new, and existing coaxial cable for up to a mile with no picture detail degradation using the new APR-474 AUTOMATIC PICTURE REJUVENATOR at the receiving end of the coaxial cable. This will open up many picture transmission opportunities that formerly required expensive Fiber-Optic equipment at a far greater cost than direct transmission on coaxial cable.

WHY YOUR CCTV IMAGES ARE NOT AS SHARP AS THEY SHOULD BE
This graph illustrates the picture quality obtained when sending a CCTV picture through various lengths of RG59/U cable and the restoration of picture quality obtained by using the ACE472 at the monitor end of the system.

PICTURE QUALITY TESTING OF CCTV SYSTEMS
Picture quality can be defined by many different parameters, but the most important from an observed picture detail point of view is the LINES OF DEFINITION as observed on a Monitor. The larger the "number of lines" that can be distinguished , the greater the detail that can be observed in the picture.

A NEW CCTV PICTURE QUALITY TESTER
FM SYSTEMS, INC. in Santa Ana, California announces the development of the first ever test instrument to definitively measure the visual sharpness of a CCTV video picture image.

BLOCK GROUND LOOPS
FM SYSTEMS, INC. in Santa Ana, CA. introduces a new product called the GB-60 GROUND-LOOP BLOCKER. This product blocks and removes the most common problems in CCTV video installations. The GB-60 also restores the picture quality before it goes to the monitor or recorder.

AUDIO LEVEL MASTER
Santa Ana, California. FM SYSTEMS, INC. has developed a new audio loudness control system that regulates audio program level so that the sound volume as perceived by the human ear will be.

ANR572 STEREO AUDIO NOISE REDUCTION PROCESSOR
Santa Ana, California. FM SYSTEMS, INC. has developed a new noise reduction system that can reduce noise in program audio sources such as telephone call-in, old recordings, or video and audio tape by as much as 25 dB.

CCTV ALARM AND CONTROL SUPERHIGHWAY
FM SYSTEMS INC. has designed a new alarm and control system that uses existing CCTV camera cables, without interfering with the picture being transmitted.

TWO-WAY INTERCOM AND SIGNALING USES CCTV CAMERA COAX.
FM SYSTEMS, INC. Santa Ana CA. has developed an intercom and signaling product that uses the existing coax in any CCTV installation for two-way audio communication. For access control it also provides a contact closure in each direction for alarms or to open doors.

CAMERA-COM AUDIO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
Camera-Com is an ad-on audio surveillance system used to enhance the security of any CCTV video installation. The addition of audio dramatically improves the response time of security personnel.

NEW VIDEO CAMERA MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY
FM Systems, Inc. announced a new concept in video camera performance measurement using a hand-held, battery operated meter with a digital display.

STEREO ANALYSIS AND ALIGNMENT WITHOUT TEST TONES
Santa Ana, California- FM Systems, INC has invented a new way to test the stereo performance of cable system head-end equipment using the existing program audio signal.

THE SPM-1 STEREO PERFORMANCE METER
The SPM-1 Stereo Performance Meters measures the stereo separation of source program audio content. Stereo mid-down and left/right blending can now be measured and thus set to consistent and repeatable standards.

TWO CCTV CAMERAS DIPLEXED ON ONE COAX
FM SYSTEMS, INC. has developed Diplexing equipment to transmit two CCTV Television signals over one coaxial cable.

VIDEO CONTINUITY ALARM SYSTEM (VLM473)
The purpose of the Video Continuity Alarm System is to provide an unambiguous indication of a video facility failure. Current alarm systems cannot distinguish between a transmission facility failure and the video signal being turned off or disconnected at the source.

VM771 VIDEO MASTER
Santa Ana, California. FM SYSTEMS, INC. has invented a new video processing device that automatically corrects video Sync and White level, Color Burst amplitude, low frequency distortion, and also clamps out up to two Volts of 60Hz ground loop interference.

VTG VIDEO TIMING METER
FM Systems, Inc. has designed and developed equipment for an entirely new way of synchronizing CCTV cameras that is both more accurate and takes much less time and equipment than previous methods. With this equipment, synchronization can be accomplished by one installation technician instead of two, and thus no radio is required when using this equipment.

VTM-VIDEO TIMING METER
FM Systems, Inc. has developed a digital meter that measures the degree of synchronism between CCTV cameras. The new VTM Video Timing Meter measures the degree of synchronism between any two CCTV cameras by displaying the number of horizontal lines that one camera leads or lags the other.

VVM VIDEO VOLT METER
F M Systems, Inc. announces a new concept in video level measurement with the model VVM Video Volt Meter. With this new hand-held battery operated Video Volt Meter, the sync pulse amplitude, white level, and overall composite video level can be measured in terms of volts peak-to-peak or I.R.E. units on a terminated or loop-through basis.
