Sending video signals over optical cable allows them to travel farther with no degradation. The Telemetrics FTS Pan/Tilt Fiber-Optic Video Transport System supports this by enabling users to remotely control the S5 series of pan/tilt heads in a wide variety of camera operations from far away, facilitating REMI* productions and centralized remote production control. <P> The FTS-BS, combined with the FTS-FBA-VCG, offers power, control and flexibility in a 1RU, rack-mounted, fiber-optic cable base station that can house four fiber optic modules to extend signals to distances up to 1 kilometer (approx. 0.6 mi). With each fiber optic module providing connectivity to one pan/tilt head, one FTS-BS fiber base station can support up to four pan/tilt heads. The FTS-BS is a flexible, lightweight and cost-effective fiber optic cable solution in a ruggedized and dirt protected metal housing. Using Wave Division Multiplexing via two strands of duplex single mode optical fiber with LC connectors, the unit transmits Ethernet, control, camera video and Genlock (bi or tri-level) signals. The FTS-FBA-VCG Pan/Tilt Head Fiber Adapter can accept all video and control signals from the base station directly, or optionally via an opticalCON hybrid optical cable with integrated electrical conductors for PT head and camera power to simplify remote installations.
