Signal paths in the CopperHead 3400 Transceiver System
The CopperHead 3400 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, which is then converted to electrical analog information for use by the camera,
camera operator, and auxiliary equipment at the camera location.

When the hybrid fiber cable option is used, 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.
