Complete 4-Channel Video and Data Fiber Optic Installation Kit
The FVMTR4A03A provides the essential components needed to establish a four-channel analog video and serial data link over multimode fiber. The installation kit includes a 4-channel video transmitter, receiver, power supplies, and 100 meters of multimode fiber cable.
A typical installation places the transmitter at the camera or video source location and the receiver at the monitoring location. A single fiber optic cable connects the two units, allowing four video signals and one bidirectional data channel to travel between locations. The wiring diagram on page 3 of the datasheet illustrates four video connections along with the RS-485 data connection between the transmitter and receiver.
Four Video Channels Over One Fiber
The VersiVision FVTM4A03A transmitter and FVRM4A03A receiver support four channels of 8-bit digitally encoded video over one multimode optical fiber. This allows four separate camera signals to share a single fiber connection between the camera location and monitoring equipment.
The system is directly compatible with NTSC, PAL, and SECAM camera systems.
Bidirectional Data for PTZ Camera Control
In addition to four video channels, the FVMTR4A03A provides one channel of bidirectional RS-485 data. Data transmission supports rates up to 300 Kbps, while RS-232 and RS-422 are available as optional configurations.
The bidirectional data channel makes the FVMTR4A03A particularly useful with PTZ cameras and other remotely controlled video equipment, where control data needs to travel between the camera and monitoring location along with the video signal.
8-Bit Digital Video Transmission
The FVMTR4A03A provides 8-bit uncompressed digital video transmission for all four video channels. The system provides broadcast-quality video transmission over fiber.
The datasheet specifies four input/output channels, a video bandwidth of 5 Hz–8 MHz, and a video signal-to-noise ratio of 60 dB weighted.
Multimode Fiber Transmission up to 3 km
The FVMTR4A03A uses the FVTM4A03A transmitter and FVRM4A03A receiver, which are specified for multimode fiber transmission up to 3 km. The multimode optical wavelength is specified as 850/1310 nm.
This makes the FVMTR4A03A a practical solution for multi-camera installations where video and serial control data need to be transported between locations over multimode fiber.
Multiple Signals Over One Fiber
The FVMTR4A03A combines multiple communication functions onto a single fiber:
- 4 channels of video
- 1 channel of bidirectional data
This design simplifies fiber cabling by allowing the video and data signals to share one optical fiber connection.
WDM Technology for Reliable Transmission
The VersiVision system incorporates WDM technology for higher reliability while transmitting the video and data signals over a single optical fiber.
Fiber optic transmission also eliminates the EMI, RFI, crosstalk, and video distortion identified in the product datasheet.
Plug-and-Play Installation
The FVMTR4A03A 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 multiple fixed-camera video signals and serial control data need to be extended over fiber.
Standard ST, BNC, and Data Connections
The FVMTR4A03A uses:
- ST simplex optical connector
- BNC video connectors
- Screw-terminal strip for data
- One multimode optical fiber
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 wiring diagram on page 3 shows the power, four video, and data indicators on the transmitter and receiver. The diagram also identifies the RS-485 data connections.
Standalone or Rack-Mount Installation
The FVTM4A03A transmitter and FVRM4A03A 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 installations requiring multiple fiber optic video and data channels.
4-Channel Video and Data Applications
The FVMTR4A03A is suited for applications requiring multiple analog video signals and bidirectional serial data over one multimode fiber connection, including:
- CCTV video surveillance
- PTZ camera systems
- Multi-camera security systems
- Remote video monitoring
- Security control rooms
- Industrial video monitoring
- Manufacturing facilities
- Transportation monitoring
- Remote surveillance locations
- Camera control and serial communications
- Fiber optic video and data links
