Complete 4-Channel Video and Data Fiber Optic Installation Kit
The FVMTR4A05A provides the essential components needed to establish a four-channel analog video and serial data link over singlemode fiber. The installation kit includes a 4-channel video transmitter, receiver, power supplies, and 100 meters of singlemode 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 and the bidirectional RS-485 data connection between the transmitter and receiver.
Four Video Channels Over One Fiber
The VersiVision FVTM4A05A transmitter and FVRM4A05A receiver support four channels of 8-bit digitally encoded video over one singlemode 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 FVMTR4A05A 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 FVMTR4A05A useful with PTZ cameras and other remotely controlled video equipment, where serial control data needs to travel between the camera and monitoring location along with the video signals.
8-Bit Digital Video Transmission
The FVMTR4A05A provides 8-bit uncompressed digital video transmission for all four video channels. The system is designed for 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.
Singlemode Fiber Transmission Up to 30 km
The FVMTR4A05A uses the FVTM4A05A transmitter and FVRM4A05A receiver, which are specified for singlemode fiber transmission up to 30 km at 1310/1550 nm.
This makes the FVMTR4A05A a practical solution for multi-camera installations where video and serial control data must be transported over longer distances between remote camera locations and monitoring facilities.
Multiple Signals Over One Fiber
The FVMTR4A05A combines multiple communication functions onto a single optical fiber:
- 4 channels of video
- 1 channel of bidirectional data
This allows multiple camera signals and serial data to share one fiber connection, helping simplify cabling between remote video equipment and monitoring locations.
WDM Technology for Higher Reliability
The VersiVision system incorporates WDM technology for higher reliability while transmitting the video and data signals over a single optical fiber.
The datasheet also identifies the system as having no EMI, RFI, crosstalk, or video distortion.
Plug-and-Play Installation
The FVMTR4A05A 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 singlemode fiber.
Standard ST, BNC, and Data Connections
The FVMTR4A05A uses:
- ST simplex optical connector
- BNC video connectors
- Screw-terminal strip for data
- One singlemode 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 both the transmitter and receiver. The diagram also identifies the RS-485 data connections.
Standalone or Rack-Mount Installation
The FVTM4A05A transmitter and FVRM4A05A 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 FVMTR4A05A is suited for applications requiring multiple analog video signals and bidirectional serial data over long-distance singlemode fiber, including:
- CCTV video surveillance
- PTZ camera systems
- Multi-camera security systems
- Remote video monitoring
- Security control rooms
