The CopperHead 3430AP Fiber Optic Transceiver System
Overview
The CopperHead 3430AP Transceiver System is a camera video, audio and data multiplexing
system that installs the 3430 Camera Unit on the back of a professional camera with IDX or
Anton Bauer plate, and connects via a single hybrid fiber optic cable to the HDX-Plus power
supply. The HDX-Plus power supply then connects to a 3400 Base Station in a truck, studio or
other video production setup. The CopperHead 3430/3400 Transceiver System can accommodate both single video channel and Dual link/3D links to the base station.
The signals carried over the Fiber Optic cable are described in the next section. The Camera Unit
can be up to 2KM from the HDX-Plus power supply. The HDX-Plus power supply can be as much
10 kilometers from the 3400 base station.
The 3430 Camera Unit attaches to the professional camera battery mount. This battery mount is
either Anton-Bauer or the Sony V-Mount standard battery mount. The type of mount must be
specified at the time of purchase.
The CopperHead 3430AP Transceiver System consists of three main components:
1 The CopperHead 3430 Camera Unit – this unit has one option - the battery mount type.
2 The HDX-Plus power supply.
3 The CopperHead 3400 Base Station – this unit has three options:
a The base station can either be internally powered by AC or externally powered by a 12
VDC power supply
b The ST Fiber Connectors can be located on either the front or back panels of the Base
Station. The location will be determined by the physical setup of your particular system.
c The system can be equipped with the TRS, Clear-Com or Four-Wire intercom standard.
Options are determined at the time of product order and the units are delivered preconfigured.

Introduction
System Concepts
The Copperhead 3430AP Transceiver System utilizes an optical fiber link between the Base
Station and the Camera Unit to carry all of the required signals necessary for operation of the
camera and associated production equipment. The Camera Unit multiplexes electrical signals
from the camera and other remote sources and converts them to an optical signal for transmission over the fiber. Simultaneously, an optical return signal is received at the Camera Unit from
the Base Station; this signal is then converted to electrical analog information for use by the
camera, camera operator, and auxiliary equipment at the camera location.

Detailed System Description
Chapter 2 describes the three components of the CopperHead 3430AP system: (1) the camera
unit, (2) the base station and (3) the HDX-Plus power supply.

Detailed System Description
The left side of the camera unit has two areas of interest:
H) Signal/Data indicators
I) Fan Control switch and indicators
Area H - Signal/Data LED activity indicators
The CopperHead 3430AP Camera Unit Indicator Panel has a series of LED
displays that monitor the various signal paths between the Camera Unit and
the Base Station.
For signals remain constant such as time code and video the LED remains
on as a steady green. For signals that fluctuate such as audio, the LED will
reflect the varying signal activity. If the LED is off either the signal has been
lost or it is not in use.
The LED indicators on the left side of the panel indicate signal paths from
the Base Station to the Camera Unit. Right side LEDs indicate signal paths
from the Camera Unit to the Base Station. Note: the 3G/HD/SD-Dual Link
Indicators are located on the opposite (left) side of the Camera Unit adjacent to the 3G/HD/SD-Dual Link SDI Connectors.
The arrow on the panel graphic indicates the direction of the signal - either
to or from the camera unit.

Fan Operations
34 Fan Control Switch
Push switch selects between three settings; the
LED corresponding to the selection is illumi
nated:
• MAX – Fan Speed is continuously at maxi-
mum speed
• NORMAL – Fan Speed initially set to lowest
speed and then adjusts based on unit internal temperature – the temperature is never
allowed to be close to the unit maximum
operating temperature.
• QUIET – Similar to NORMAL setting except that the temperature IS allowed to be close to
the unit maximum operating temperature.
35 MAX Indicator
Fan is operating at full speed.
36 NORMAL Indicator
-
Fan is operating in Normal mode and speed increases from minimum speed to full speed

Detailed System Description
over a temperature range of 55 degrees centigrade to 70 degrees centigrade. Speed
increases more rapidly as unit first begins to increase in temperature.
37 QUIET Indicator
Similar to NORMAL mode except that fan speed increases slowly as unit increases temperature and then more rapidly as the unit approaches maximum allowable temperature.
Fan Diagnostic Mode
The fan switch allows entry into a LED test mode. Push and hold the FAN switch for about five
seconds and the test will begin. At this point all of the LEDs will blink indicating that the fan
system is functioning.
High Temperature Warning
If during regular operation (not the diagnostic mode described above) any of LEDs begin to
blink slowly then the CopperHead unit has reached a temperature of 65 degrees centigrade. If
during regular operation (not the diagnostic mode described above) any of LEDs begin to blink
quickly then the CopperHead unit has reached a temperature of at least 70 degrees centigrade.
If the temperature reaches 70 degrees centigrade confirm that the fan is working correctly in the
unit. If this high temperature is sustained for any period of time damage may occur to the
system. The unit should be turned off and allowed to cool before restarting and the unit should
be checked for malfunction as soon as possible.
