Crystal Vision Introduction The Indigo frames have been designed to accept any selection of boards from Crystal Vision's range of Standard Definition, High Definition, 3G audio, video and optical products. The high packing density allows up to six modules in 1U, up to 12 modules in 2U, and up to two modules in the desk top box. - Page 6 Crystal Vision Introduction The FTX-L 3G is primarily designed to work with single-mode optical cable and can achieve distances in excess of 10km depending on cable quality and number of connectors and splices (see Fibre distance calculations guide ). The FTX-L 3G may also work with multi- mode optical cable in some circumstances and distances of approximately 1km have been achieved with a Standard Definition video input.

Page 9: Universal Rear Connectors
The FTX-L 3G can be loaded into any compatible frame’s slot but due to the extra height of the FTX-L 3G module it is not possible to place cards from the Crystal Vision Standard Definition or audio range directly above in certain positions. High Definition boards do not share this restriction and can be placed in any slot position. -
