This section provides a detailed overview of each video media converter
device and how to install and use them.
Video Media Converters (VMCs)
The BNC to Fiber VMCs can be attached directly to any video device with
a standard BNC connector. The VMC devices can receive or transmit the
signal depending on the VMC model used.
VMC transmit devices are red in color and will indicate on the case whether
they are for SD or HD signals. The VMC device shown in
Figure 6 is a
VMC-T-H-2 (HD transmit, 1310nm, single mode). This unit inputs an elec-
trical HD signal on the BNC and transmits an optical signal out the optical
connector. The signal is reclocked in the device. The protective dust cover
is shown installed on the optical connector.

VMC receivers have a blue case as shown in the VMC-R-2 in Figure 7 .
These units receive an optical signal on the optical connector and outputs
an electrical signal out the BNC.
