Complete Video and Data Fiber Optic Installation Kit
The FDVTR1A03A combines video and bidirectional data transmission in one fiber optic installation kit. It includes a video transmitter, video receiver, power supplies, and 100 meters of multimode fiber, providing the primary components required to establish a video and data connection between a camera location and a remote monitoring location.
A typical installation places the transmitter at the camera end of the link and the receiver at the monitoring end, with both units connected by a single fiber optic cable.
Video and Bidirectional Data Over One Fiber
The FDVTR1A03A supports one channel of 8-bit digitally encoded video plus one channel of bidirectional data over a single optical fiber.
This configuration is particularly useful for camera systems that require data to travel back to the camera location in addition to sending video to a monitoring location.
PTZ Camera and Control Data Applications
The bidirectional data channel allows the FDVTR1A03A to be used with camera systems requiring return data. The standard data interface is RS-485, with RS-232 or RS-422 available as optional configurations.
This makes the system suitable for video installations where a camera or other field device requires a bidirectional serial data connection in addition to the video signal.
RS-485 Data Transmission up to 300 Kbps
The data interface supports transmission rates of up to 300 Kbps and provides one bidirectional data channel. The specified bit error rate is 10⁻⁹.
The data connection uses a screw terminal strip, while video is connected through BNC and the optical connection uses an ST connector.
8-Bit Digital Video Over Multimode Fiber
The FDVTR1A03A provides 8-bit uncompressed video transmission and is compatible with NTSC, PAL, and SECAM camera systems. The multimode version uses 850/1310 nm optical wavelengths and supports transmission up to 3 km over one multimode fiber.
WDM Technology for Combined Video and Data
The VersiVision video and data system uses WDM technology to transmit the video and bidirectional data signals over a single optical fiber. The datasheet identifies WDM as a feature intended for higher reliability.
This single-fiber architecture simplifies the connection between the camera location and monitoring equipment while providing both video and data communication.
Plug-and-Play Installation
The FDVTR1A03A is designed for adjustment-free installation and operation. No electrical or optical adjustments are required, and LED indicators provide immediate system operating status.
The wiring diagram on page 3 of the datasheet illustrates the typical installation, showing video connected through BNC, bidirectional RS-485 data through the screw-terminal interface, and the transmitter and receiver connected by a simplex singlemode/multimode fiber link.
Standard ST and BNC Connections
The FDVTR1A03A uses:
- ST optical connector
- BNC video connector
- Screw-terminal data connector
The system uses one optical fiber for the video and data link. ST-SC adapters are also available for applications using SC fiber connectors.
Multimode Fiber Transmission up to 3 km
The FDVTR1A03A uses the FDVT1A03A transmitter and FDVR1A03A receiver, which are specified for 3 km multimode transmission at 850/1310 nm.
For installations requiring longer transmission distances, the same VersiVision product family includes singlemode configurations capable of up to 30 km; however, the FDVTR1A03A kit is specifically the multimode 3 km configuration.
Video Performance
The video portion of the FDVTR1A03A provides:
- 1 video input/output channel
- 8-bit resolution
- 5 Hz–8 MHz bandwidth
- Differential gain: < ±1%
- Differential phase: < ±1°
- Tilt: <1%
- Signal-to-noise ratio: 60 dB weighted
- Video input: 2 V peak-to-peak, 75Ω
Standalone or Rack-Mount Installation
The FDVT1A03A transmitter and FDVR1A03A receiver can be used as standalone units or installed in the VERSITRON FVC18 18-slot chassis. The units are hot-pluggable into the FVC18 chassis, making the platform suitable for installations requiring multiple fiber optic video and data channels.
Video and Data Installation Kit Applications
The FDVTR1A03A is suited for applications requiring both video transmission and bidirectional serial data, including:
- PTZ camera systems
- CCTV video surveillance
- Remote camera monitoring
- Security monitoring
- Industrial video monitoring
- Camera control and data communication
- Remote video systems requiring RS-485 data
- Video links requiring bidirectional serial communication
