3G/HD SDI camera control system. PFC-01 /PFB-02 series

 

PFC-01 / PFB-02 series devices allow to organize a fiber-optic camera channel for connecting a remote camera to a base station, with the ability to control robotized objects using one or two fibers. These devices are always paired.  PFC-01 series device (Camera Adapter (CA)) is located at the camera, ànd PFB-02 series device (Base Station (BS)) – on the outside broadcasting unit (OBU).

 

 

System functionality

  • Bidirectional transmission of 3G/HD/SD SDI

  • Transport of four audio channels from the camera and their output to the BS (linear analog inputs/outputs or two AES/EBU inputs/outputs)

  • Intercom line

    • Microphone or line input, telephone or line output (CA) PFC-01

    • Line input, line output (BS) PFB-02

  • Three independent two-way data ports with baud rate up to 115200 Baud

    • RS-232, RS-422, RS-485/4WIRE, RS-485/2WIRE …...port 1

    • RS-232, RS-422, RS-485/4WIRE, RS-485/2WIRE …...port 2

    • LANC…………………………………………...port 3

    • The choice of interface type (port 1, 2) is determined by the contacts on the DATA connector

  • Three TALLY signals transport from BS PFB-02 to CA (relay, “dry” closure outputs) PFC-01

  • 100/1000 Ethernet line with integrated dual-port switch

  • Single- or dual-fiber version

  • Optical budget up to 23 dB

  • Power supply DC 10,5…17 V, max 4,8 W

 

The following pairs of devices are available, depending on the number of fibers, the optical budget and availability of Ethernet interface (see Table 1):
