Complete 8-Channel Video and Data Fiber Optic Installation Kit

The FVMTR8A05A combines eight channels of digital video with a bidirectional serial data channel over a single singlemode fiber connection.

The installation kit includes the video transmitter, receiver, power supplies, and 100 meters of singlemode fiber cable, providing the primary components needed to establish a complete fiber optic video and data link.

A typical installation places the transmitter at the camera or video-source location and the receiver at the monitoring or control location. A single fiber optic cable connects the two units, allowing the video and data signals to be transmitted between locations.

Eight Channels of Digital Video

The FVMTR8A05A supports eight channels of 8-bit digitally encoded, broadcast-quality video over one singlemode optical fiber.

The transmitter and receiver are directly compatible with NTSC, PAL, and SECAM camera systems, allowing the system to integrate with a variety of analog CCTV equipment.

Bidirectional RS-485 Data

In addition to eight video channels, the FVMTR8A05A provides one channel of bidirectional RS-485 data.

The data interface supports rates up to 300 Kbps, while RS-232 and RS-422 are available as optional configurations.

This additional data channel is useful for applications where cameras or other connected equipment require two-way serial communications, including PTZ camera control.

Eight Video Channels Plus Data Over One Fiber

The FVMTR8A05A is designed to transport eight video channels and one bidirectional data channel over a single optical fiber.

This provides an efficient fiber optic connection for multi-camera systems where video and serial data need to be transmitted together between remote locations.

Long-Distance Singlemode Fiber Transmission

The FVMTR8A05A uses 1310/1550 nm singlemode optical transmission and supports distances up to 30 km. The corresponding FVTM8A05A transmitter and FVRM8A05A receiver are specified for 30 km singlemode operation.

This makes the kit particularly useful when cameras and monitoring equipment are separated by significant distances, including large facilities, distributed surveillance systems, transportation infrastructure, and remote monitoring locations.

8-Bit Uncompressed Video

The VersiVision system provides 8-bit uncompressed video transmission with a video bandwidth of 5 Hz–8 MHz.

The datasheet specifies differential gain below ±1%, differential phase below ±1%, tilt below 1%, and a 60 dB weighted signal-to-noise ratio.

Reliable Fiber Optic Video and Data Transmission

The FVMTR8A05A incorporates WDM technology for higher reliability and is designed without EMI, RFI, crosstalk, or video distortion.

Fiber optic transmission provides an electrically isolated communications path between connected locations, making it well suited for video and data transmission where electrical interference may be a concern.

Plug-and-Play Installation

The FVMTR8A05A uses a plug-and-play design for adjustment-free installation and operation. No electrical or optical adjustments are required, while LED indicators provide immediate visibility into system operating status.

The wiring diagram on page 3 of the datasheet illustrates the eight video connections and bidirectional data connection between the transmitter and receiver, with the complete link carried over a single simplex singlemode or multimode fiber.

Standard ST, BNC and Data Connections

The FVMTR8A05A provides:

  • ST simplex optical connection
  • BNC video connections
  • Screw-terminal data connection
  • One singlemode optical fiber

ST-SC adapters are also available for applications using SC fiber connectors.

Standalone or Rack-Mount Installation

The transmitter and receiver can be deployed as standalone units or installed in the VERSITRON FVC18 18-slot chassis. The units are also hot-pluggable into the FVC18 chassis, providing a flexible option for higher-density installations.

8-Channel Video and Data Applications

The FVMTR8A05A is suited for applications requiring multiple analog video signals and bidirectional serial data to be transmitted over long-distance singlemode fiber, including:

  • CCTV video surveillance
  • PTZ camera systems
  • Multi-camera security systems
  • Remote video monitoring
  • Security control rooms
  • Industrial video monitoring
  • Manufacturing facilities
  • Transportation monitoring
  • Facility surveillance
  • Remote camera installations
  • Long-distance fiber optic video and camera-control links
