| Description: | The video communicator transmits a voice and two-dimensional image over a range of 500 km. THe unit is small enough to be carried in a pocket or hung on a belt.
The communicator has a built-in microphone and video camera for input and a small speaker and a polylucent cuprothallium display for output. The cuprothallium display slides into the main housing when not in use, and the video camera can be switched off if desired. Commdots can be used to speak and listen if the device is attached to a belt.
By opening the unit up, interior controls can preselect five different frequencies for current use; one of these can then be chosen using the frequency selection knob on the front of the communicator. The communicator can transmit and receive simultaneously.
When used with commdots, the communicator can be used to set the commdot frequencies to itself; it will also automatically multiplex with a commdot for any of its five active frequencies. |
