FVT/FVR8018

8-CHANNEL 10-BIT DIGITALLY ENCODED VIDEO
+ 8 BI-DIRECTIONAL DATA CHANNELS

The FVT/FVR8018 is an eight (8) channel ten (10) bit video transmission

system. It combines eight individual video signals into one high speed digital

stream and transmits this over one optical fiber.

The link also transmits eight channels of bi-directional data over the same

fiber. Each data channel can be configured for an electrical interface of RS232,

RS422 or RS485 (2- or 4-Wire).

There is also a RELAY connector on both the Video Transmitter and Video Receiver

modules which indicates that the optical communication link is operating

properly. The Relay is CLOSED when the optical communication is good.

The Data Channels are labeled A, B, C and D. Each data channel is configured

for the electrical interface by means of the “DATA SELECT” switch on the front

panel. Figure 5 on Page 4 illustrates the switch settings to set the type of data

for each channel.

Figure 4 on Page 3 illustrates the data electrical connections from the RJ45 Data

connectors and also the connection cable and “breakout box” connections.

Figure 6 on Page 4 illustrates the specific data connections for RS232, 2-Wire

RS485 and RS422/4-Wire RS485. (This last data connection also applies to

Manchester & Bi-Phase data transmission.)

Figure 7 on Page 5 illustrates the electrical connections between the

“Customer Equipment” and the FVT8018 and FVR8018.
