    Each variation can also be specified to provide power on the Fiber Optic Cable ("Wet") or without power carrying only the video, audio and data signals ("Dry"). The T-POV variations are the T-POV 301 and the T-POV 324. The selection of the T-POV model depends on the particular video, audio, data, camera control, tally/GPI, and power requirements of each application.
