Capability for data transmission in only one direction between a sending station and a receiving station. Compare with full duplex and half duplex.
The use of a single radio frequency for two-way communication. Ham operators sometimes call this "direct". (see Duplex, Repeater)
Operating a channel in one direction only with no ability to operate in the other direction. For example one side of a telephone conversation is all that could be carried by a simplex line.
This is a type of multiplexer. There is only one PCB inside a Simplex unit, so it can only do one of the three functions at a time. It can either record all cameras simultaneously, playback all cameras or display all cameras onto a monitor at the same time. It is mainly used on multiple camera systems, but because of its limitations, it tends only to be used on an un-named installation.
One-way data transmission, with no capability for changing direction.
In communications, pertaining to a channel that operates in one direction only, as in a public address system or a commercial music radio. Compare with: full-duplex, half-duplex.
one-way transmission; television and commercial radio, etc. See duplex.
A trope in which a given pitch is successively repeated a minimum of three times in any register, with or without mutation (e.g., an octave tremolo). Cf. articulatory expletive.
A radio technology that allows only one-way communication. The FM radio in your car, or your TV set, could be viewed as simplex devices.
allowing communication in only one direction at a time, or in telegraphy allowing only one message over a line at a time; "simplex system"
A form of communication or data transfer which occurs in only one direction at a time.
In radio terms, a communication using only one frequency in which two stations must take turns transmitting and receiving. In data terms, a communication between two stations in which data flows in one direction only.
A communications channel or device which carries information in one direction.
A scanner capable of reading only one side of a document at a time. Simplex scanners can scan double sided documents, but the document stack must be flipped, scanned and collated. Presently, nearly all production level scanners are duplex.
A circuit capable of operating in only one direction.
In general, it refers to a communications system that can transmit information in one direction only. In CCTV, simplex is used to describe a method of multiplexer operation where only one function can be performed at a time, e.g., either recording or playback individually.
Communication in one direction, receive or transmit. Contrast with duplex.
A transmission facility in which the transmission is restricted to only one direction at a time.
A communications system or link which can only carry a signal in one direction.
One-way only communications.
Flow of data in one direction only.
A fiber optic transmission system in which data can go in only a single direction. Learn more about Simplex...
In simplex operation, a network cable or communications channel can only send information in one direction. See also Full-duplex.
A multiplexer with 1 frame store that can either time multiplex records or show multi-screen pictures in live or play back. It cannot record the multiplexer pictures whilst showing multi-screen pictures.
Transmission that occurs in only one direction over the communications media.
Data travels in one direction only.
A data processing device or protocol capable of transmitting or receiving but not both. Simplex devices are rare in data processing applications. One example is printing via the obsolete "202" modem. In dial mode, the 202 was Half-Duplex and printer flow control could not get back to the computer fast enough. The printer was configured as Simplex with a reverse channel for flow control. Simplex examples in other industries include commercial radio and television. See Full-Duplex, Half-Duplex, and Reverse Channel.
This type of communication means that communication can only flow in one direction and never flow back the other way.
A mode of communication where a person either talks or listens, but not both at a time. When operating a two way radio on a simplex radio channel, the transmitter and receiver operate on the same frequency, and the operator cannot listen while he is talking.
A multiplexer that allows the user to look at multi-screen images or perform time multiplex recording. It cannot record multiplexer pictures while showing multi-screen pictures.
This term is used to describe a multiplexer that will record pictures to tape or display multiple pictures on a single monitor. A simplex multiplexer will not perform both functions simultaneously. When a simplex multiplexer is used to replay tapes, it will stop recording.
either the ability of a scanner to scan just one side of a piece of paper in one pass, or a scanning process in which one side of a piece of paper is scanned (cf. duplex)
Communicating directly from radio to radio (without the use of an intermediary repeater). This term is normally used in the context of environments that frequently use repeaters.
The ability of a communication channel to carry communication traffic in one direction only.
a mode of communication in which you take turns to transmit and receive on the same frequency. A frequency set aside for non-repeater use.
Printing done on only one side of each sheet. Opposite of duplex.
A communication process that allows information to flow in only one direction at a time. Common speakerphones are simplex devices because only one person can speak at a time. Contrasts with duplex.
Communication on one frequency, not via a repeater.
The ability to only send data in one direction.
Communication in only one direction at a time. Example: FAX.
Pertaining to the capability to transmit in one direction only.
Transmission in only one direction. Generally a communications system or device capable of transmission in one direction only. See Duplex.
