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 transmis-
sion 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.
