VersiVision FVC18 18-Slot Rackmount Chassis

The FVC18 provides up to 18 available module slots, allowing users to build a centralized fiber optic video transmission system around the channel capacity and functionality required for their application.

The chassis features dual 100–240VAC auto-switching power supplies. This redundant power configuration helps reduce the risk of a single power supply failure affecting the operation of the installed modules.

If an individual video converter module requires replacement, the module can be removed and replaced without powering down the chassis. This hot-pluggable design helps minimize system downtime and simplifies maintenance.

Two internal cooling fans provide continuous airflow through the chassis to support reliable operation without requiring periodic fan maintenance.

• Centralized installation and management of multiple video converters

Centralized Fiber Video Conversion

The FVC18 is designed for applications where multiple fiber optic video converters need to be installed in one centralized location.

Instead of deploying individual standalone power supplies and separate equipment throughout a facility, compatible VersiVision modules can be installed together in the FVC18 chassis.

This provides a cleaner, more organized installation while simplifying power distribution, maintenance, and system monitoring.

The chassis can accommodate different channel configurations, allowing users to combine modules based on the number of cameras and communication functions required.

Hot-Pluggable Module Design

One of the primary advantages of the FVC18 is its hot-pluggable module architecture.

Installed video converter modules can be removed or replaced without shutting down the entire chassis. This allows maintenance personnel to service individual modules while keeping other installed video systems operational.

For larger surveillance and monitoring installations, this can significantly simplify system maintenance and help reduce unnecessary downtime.

Redundant Power for Improved Reliability

The FVC18 uses dual auto-switching power supplies supporting 100–240VAC input.

The redundant power design helps isolate an individual power supply failure from the operation of the installed video converter modules. This provides an additional level of reliability for centralized video transmission systems.

Cooling and System Monitoring

Two internal cooling fans provide airflow through the chassis to help maintain operating temperatures.

LED indicators on the installed modules provide status information for quick system monitoring and troubleshooting.

Together, the cooling system and module-level LED indicators provide a straightforward approach to maintaining and monitoring a centralized video conversion system.

Compatible VersiVision Video Modules

The FVC18 can accommodate a combination of compatible VersiVision video converter modules, including:

• 1-channel video modules
• 2-channel video modules
• 4-channel video modules
• 8-channel video modules
• Video/data modules

This modular approach allows the chassis to be configured according to the requirements of the installation.

For example, a centralized surveillance system can combine different channel-count modules within the same chassis rather than requiring a separate chassis for each video configuration.

Applications of the 18-Slot Video Chassis

The FVC18 is well suited for centralized video transmission systems in applications such as:

• Security and surveillance
• CCTV monitoring
• Transportation facilities
• Traffic monitoring
• Industrial monitoring
• Military and defense
• Campus security
• Energy and utility facilities
• Control rooms
• Centralized monitoring centers
