Operation of 1-Channel Analog Video to Fiber Converters

Both the transmitter and receiver devices are fiber optic CCTV video converters which utilize a BNC connector at the copper side and an ST optical connector on the fiber side. The transmitter is placed at the camera side of the link and the receiver unit is placed at the monitoring location. Our 1-channel CCTV video converters are ideal for basic monitoring applications where one CCTV camera is present. Our devices are compatible with NTSC, PAL, or SECAM video signals. If you are using cameras that have Pan, Tilt, and Zoom capability, we offer devices that have RS-485 data control (RS-422 and RS-232 available upon request). VERSITRON also offers 1-channel video to fiber converters that have 24-bit digitally encoded audio capability as well as 10/100Base Ethernet.

VERSITRON’s 1-channel video to fiber converters are used in city-wide surveillance applications, highway traffic monitoring, as well as auto manufacturing and furnace temperature monitoring.

Features of 1-channel video to fiber converters:

• 8-Bit Uncompressed Video Transmission: Supports high-resolution, 8/10 bit-digital code and uncompressed video signals during transmission.
• NTSC, PAL, or SECAM Video Compatible: Supports all major video formats, ensuring seamless integration with diverse video systems.
• Transmit up to 30km without Optical Attenuation: Enables long-distance video transmission without signal loss, maintaining superior video quality over extended ranges.
• Wide Optical Dynamic Range: Accommodates varying optical levels, ensuring consistent performance under different conditions.
• No EMI, RFI, Cross Talk, or Video Distortion: Ensures crystal-clear videos in electrically noisy environments by eliminating interference.
• No Electrical or Optical Adjustments Required: Features self-adapting technology that simplifies installation and maintenance, reducing operational complexities and saving time.
• LED Indicators for Instant System Monitoring: Provides real-time visual status updates for quick and easy system diagnostics.
• Stand-Alone or Rack-Mount in FVC18 Chassis: Offers versatile deployment options for standalone use or integration into a rack-mounted system.
• Hot-Pluggable into the FVC18 Chassis: Supports hot-swapping for quick system upgrades or replacements without downtime.
• RS-485 Data (RS-232 or RS-422 Optional): Ensures flexible data communication for remote control and device interfacing.
• 24-Bit Digitally Encoded Audio: Delivers high-fidelity audio transmission, suitable for applications requiring precise sound quality.
• 10/100Base Ethernet: Provides Ethernet connectivity for simultaneous data and video transmission, enhancing system capabilities.
