Two-wire technology for audio and video intercom

BPT presents another new development. X1 is a new cabling concept which allows all the units of an intercom or video intercom to be connected on a true two-wire bus which allows it to transmit all the information and power on a simple non-polarised twisted pair. Only between the entry panel and the power supplier four wires are required. Then from the power supplier to all the receivers only a twisted pair is required.

It is simple: because with two wires the mistakes are reduced to a minimum.

It is quick: wires are not polarised so just connect the pair to the terminals and the job is done.

It is performing: all the functions of a normal intercom system are available: black and white and colour monitors, intercom in the same house is available up to eight units, self-connection to the entry panel for video, secrecy of speech, door lock release timing control, call volume control, busy indication. Telephone interface is also available to use normal Telkom telephone to answer intercom calls.

It is expandable: X1 can be expanded into a more sophisticated solution called System 300 which has very high limitations. All the main aesthetics are available on X1 technology: Lynea, Nova and Ophera, the new colour hand-free monitor.

X1 features a very simple programming procedure called 'self-learning'. There is no setting or configuration of dip-switches. It is enough to send the call from the entry panel to the relevant receiver and the system will do the programming itself.
