Complete Video, Data, Audio, and Ethernet Fiber Optic Installation Kit
The FDVTR1AA3A-AE combines multiple communication functions into a single fiber optic transmission system. The installation kit includes a video transmitter, video receiver, power supplies, and 100 meters of multimode fiber, providing the primary components needed to establish a complete fiber optic connection.
A typical installation places the transmitter at the camera or field equipment location and the receiver at the remote monitoring or control location. The two units are connected by a single fiber optic cable.
Five Communication Functions Over One Fiber
The FDVTR1AA3A-AE is designed to carry multiple signals simultaneously over one optical fiber:
- 1-channel 8-bit digitally encoded video
- 1-channel bidirectional data
- 1-channel bidirectional audio
- 1-channel bidirectional contact closure
- 1-channel 10/100Base Ethernet
This integrated architecture allows video, control, audio, contact-closure, and Ethernet communications to share one fiber connection between locations.
8-Bit Digital Video Transmission
The video portion of the FDVTR1AA3A-AE provides 8-bit uncompressed digital video and is directly compatible with NTSC, PAL, and SECAM camera systems. The system is designed for broadcast-quality video transmission over a single optical fiber.
The video interface uses a standard BNC connector, making the system straightforward to integrate with compatible analog video equipment.
Bidirectional Data for Camera Control
The FDVTR1AA3A-AE provides one channel of bidirectional data using RS-485 as the standard interface. RS-232 or RS-422 configurations are available as options. Data transmission supports rates up to 300 Kbps.
The bidirectional data capability makes the system useful for video installations where control or serial data must travel between the camera or field equipment and the remote monitoring location.
24-Bit Bidirectional Digital Audio
The system provides one channel of bidirectional audio using 24-bit digital encoding. The audio interface has a 600-ohm impedance, 2.0 Vp-p input/output level, and a frequency response of 10 Hz–20 kHz.
This provides an additional communication channel for installations requiring audio transmission along with video and control signals.
Bidirectional Contact Closure
The FDVTR1AA3A-AE also provides one channel of bidirectional contact closure, allowing contact-based control signals to be transmitted across the fiber link.
The contact-closure interface is specified for 24 VDC at 0.5 A or 125 VAC at 0.1 A, normally open.
Integrated 10/100 Ethernet
In addition to video, data, audio, and contact closure, the FDVTR1AA3A-AE provides one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet channel. The Ethernet interface uses a shielded RJ-45 connector.
This allows Ethernet connectivity to be incorporated into the same fiber optic link rather than requiring a separate fiber connection for each function.
Multimode Fiber Transmission up to 3 km
The FDVTR1AA3A-AE multimode configuration uses 850/1310 nm optics and supports transmission distances up to 3 km over one optical fiber. The product model table identifies the FDVT1AA3A-AE transmitter and FDVR1AA3A-AE receiver as the 3 km multimode versions.
The same VersiVision product family also includes singlemode versions, but the FDVTR1AA3A-AE is specifically the multimode 3 km configuration.
WDM Technology for Multi-Signal Transmission
The VersiVision system uses WDM technology to support transmission of the multiple communication functions over a single optical fiber. The datasheet identifies WDM as a feature for higher reliability.
Using one fiber for the video, data, audio, contact closure, and Ethernet connection can simplify cabling between the field and monitoring locations.
Plug-and-Play Installation
The FDVTR1AA3A-AE is designed for adjustment-free installation and operation. No electrical or optical adjustments are required, while LED indicators provide immediate visibility into system operating status.
Standard ST, BNC, and RJ-45 Connections
The FDVTR1AA3A-AE provides dedicated interfaces for each communication function:
- ST optical connector
- BNC video connector
- Screw-terminal strip for data, audio, and contact closure
- Shielded RJ-45 for Ethernet
The system uses one optical fiber for transmission between the transmitter and receiver. ST-SC adapters are available for applications using SC fiber connectors.
LED Indicators for System Monitoring
LED indicators provide immediate visibility into system operating status. The wiring diagram on page 3 of the datasheet illustrates the transmitter and receiver interfaces, including the video, audio, data, contact-closure, Ethernet, and fiber connections.
Standalone or Rack-Mount Installation
The FDVTR1AA3A-AE transmitter and receiver can be deployed 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 communication channels.
Video, Data, Audio, and Ethernet Applications
The FDVTR1AA3A-AE is suited for applications requiring multiple communication functions over a single fiber connection, including:
- CCTV surveillance
- PTZ camera systems
- Remote video monitoring
- Security and access control
- Industrial monitoring
- Remote equipment control
- Video systems requiring bidirectional audio
- Systems requiring contact-closure control
- Remote Ethernet connectivity
- Industrial and transportation monitoring
- Security systems requiring video and control communications
