Signal paths in the CopperHead 3050 Transceiver System
The CopperHead 3050 Transceiver System uses 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.

When you use the hybrid fiber cable option, the link also provides power to the Camera
Unit and the camera itself. Only the single fiber link or hybrid fiber link is required between
the Base Station and the Camera Unit.
