Complete Video and Data Fiber Optic Installation Kit
The FDVTR1A05A combines video and bidirectional data transmission in one complete fiber optic installation kit. It includes a video transmitter, video receiver, power supplies, and 100 meters of singlemode 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 the two units connected by a single fiber optic cable.
Video and Bidirectional Data Over One Fiber
The FDVTR1A05A supports one channel of 8-bit digitally encoded video plus one channel of bidirectional data over a single optical fiber.
This configuration is useful for camera systems that require video transmission to a monitoring location along with data communication back to the camera.
PTZ Camera and Control Data Applications
The bidirectional data channel makes the FDVTR1A05A suitable for 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 particularly useful for PTZ camera applications and other video installations where serial data must travel between the camera and monitoring or control equipment.
RS-485 Data Transmission up to 300 Kbps
The data interface supports transmission rates 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 Singlemode Fiber
The FDVTR1A05A provides 8-bit uncompressed video transmission and is compatible with NTSC, PAL, and SECAM camera systems. The singlemode version uses 1310/1550 nm optical wavelengths and supports transmission distances up to 30 km over one singlemode fiber.
Long-Distance Video and Data Transmission
The 30 km singlemode transmission distance makes the FDVTR1A05A the long-distance version of the VersiVision 1-channel video and data installation kit.
It is designed for installations where a camera, video source, and monitoring or control equipment are separated by significant distances and both video and bidirectional data need to be carried over the same fiber connection.
WDM Technology for Combined Video and Data
The VersiVision system uses WDM technology to support transmission of video and bidirectional data over a single optical fiber. WDM is identified in the datasheet as a feature for higher reliability.
Using one fiber for both video and data can simplify the fiber connection between the camera and remote monitoring location.
Plug-and-Play Installation
The FDVTR1A05A is designed for adjustment-free installation and operation. No electrical or optical adjustments are required, and LED indicators provide immediate system operating status.
Standard ST and BNC Connections
The FDVTR1A05A uses:
- ST optical connector
- BNC video connector
- Screw-terminal data connector
The system uses one optical fiber for the video and bidirectional data link. ST-SC adapters are available for applications using SC fiber connectors.
LED Indicators for System Monitoring
LED indicators provide immediate visibility into system operation. The transmitter and receiver provide power and video status indicators, while the data connection also provides a data indicator.
The wiring diagram on page 3 of the datasheet illustrates the typical transmitter-to-receiver installation over a simplex singlemode or multimode fiber, including the video, data, and power connections.
Singlemode Fiber Transmission Up to 30 km
The FDVTR1A05A uses the FDVT1A05A transmitter and FDVR1A05A receiver, both specified for 30 km singlemode transmission at 1310/1550 nm.
This extended transmission capability makes the FDVTR1A05A appropriate for long-distance camera and monitoring applications requiring both video and return data.
Video Performance
The video portion of the FDVTR1A05A 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 FDVT1A05A transmitter and FDVR1A05A 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, providing a flexible platform for installations requiring multiple fiber optic video and data channels.
Video and Data Installation Kit Applications
The FDVTR1A05A is suited for applications requiring long-distance video transmission together with bidirectional serial data, including:
- PTZ camera systems
- CCTV video surveillance
- Long-distance 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
