Complete 2-Channel Video and Data Fiber Optic Installation Kit
The FVMTR2A05A combines two video channels with a bidirectional serial data channel in one fiber optic transmission system. The installation kit includes a 2-channel video transmitter, receiver, power supplies, and 100 meters of singlemode fiber, providing the primary components needed to establish a complete video and data link.
A typical installation places the transmitter at the camera or field equipment location and the receiver at the monitoring location. The transmitter and receiver are connected by a single fiber optic cable, allowing both video channels and the bidirectional data channel to travel between locations. The wiring diagram on page 3 of the datasheet illustrates the two video connections and data connection at both ends of the fiber link.
Two Video Channels Plus Bidirectional Data Over One Fiber
The VersiVision FVTM2A05A and FVRM2A05A provide two channels of 8-bit digitally encoded video plus one channel of bidirectional data over one singlemode optical fiber.
This allows two separate camera signals and a serial data connection to share one fiber link, making the system well suited for camera installations that require both video transmission and return data.
8-Bit Digital Video Transmission
The FVMTR2A05A provides 8-bit uncompressed digital video transmission for both video channels. The system is directly compatible with NTSC, PAL, and SECAM camera systems.
Each transmitter and receiver provides two BNC video connections for the two video channels.
RS-485 Bidirectional Data
The FVMTR2A05A provides one channel of bidirectional RS-485 data. Data transmission supports rates up to 300 Kbps, with RS-232 or RS-422 available as optional configurations.
The bidirectional data capability makes the system useful for camera installations where serial control or other RS-485 data must travel between the camera location and the monitoring or control location.
PTZ Camera and Return Data Applications
Because the FVMTR2A05A provides bidirectional data in addition to two video channels, it can be used with camera systems requiring return data for control or other serial communication.
This configuration allows two camera video signals and a serial data channel to share one long-distance fiber optic connection.
Singlemode Fiber Transmission up to 30 km
The FVMTR2A05A uses the FVTM2A05A transmitter and FVRM2A05A receiver, which are specified for singlemode transmission up to 30 km using 1310/1550 nm optics.
This makes the FVMTR2A05A the long-distance singlemode version of the two-channel video and data installation kit.
WDM Technology for Reliable Transmission
The VersiVision system uses WDM technology and carries the two video channels and bidirectional data over a single optical fiber. The datasheet identifies WDM technology as a feature for higher reliability.
The fiber optic connection also avoids EMI, RFI, crosstalk, and video distortion identified in the product datasheet.
Plug-and-Play Installation
The FVMTR2A05A 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.
This makes the system straightforward to deploy when extending two camera signals and serial data over long-distance singlemode fiber.
Standard ST, BNC, and Data Connections
The FVMTR2A05A uses:
- ST simplex optical connector
- BNC video connectors
- Screw-terminal data connection
- One singlemode optical fiber for the video and 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 operating status. The wiring diagram on page 3 shows power, video, and data indicators on both the transmitter and receiver.
The video indicators show whether video is present at the BNC inputs, while the data indicator provides status information for the data connection.
Standalone or Rack-Mount Installation
The FVTM2A05A transmitter and FVRM2A05A 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 option for larger installations requiring multiple fiber optic video and data channels.
2-Channel Video and Data Installation Kit Applications
The FVMTR2A05A is suited for applications requiring two analog video channels together with bidirectional serial data over long-distance singlemode fiber, including:
- CCTV video surveillance
- PTZ camera systems
- Fixed-camera installations
- Remote video monitoring
- Security monitoring
- Industrial video monitoring
- Camera control and serial data transmission
- Control rooms with multiple video sources
- Remote surveillance locations
- Long-distance fiber optic video links requiring return data
