T-POV Usage Scenarios
The three scenarios shown represent a small cross-section of the various available 
configurations. Please consider these scenarios as samples of how a system might be used 
in a real-world application.
The following fiber connection scenarios do not take into account any customized cable 
and connector installations you may have at your facility. For assistance regarding more

Tactical Fiber between the Base Station and Camera Unit
Fig. 5-1: Tactical Fiber between the Base Station and Camera Unit
Between the Base Station (A) the Camera Unit (B) is a length of Tactical Fiber Cable (C). At 
each end of the fiber cable are a set of two ST Connectors.
The Camera Unit and the Base Station are powered by an external 12 Volt power supply (D). 
The recommended ADAP-AC-04 is illustrated. The Camera connected to the Camera Unit 
must have its own separate power source. 
Connected to the Base Station is a Camera Control Unit (CCU) with camera controls and 
remote pan and tilt controls (F). Depending on the control unit requirements the 
connection to the base station will be either a serial data connection or an Ethernet 
connection.
Connected to the Camera Unit is a remote HD Camera (E) mounted on a remotely 
controlled pan and tilt unit. Typically the camera will be connected to the T-POV Camera 
Unit by an HD-SDI BNC cable and the pan and tilt unit will be connected through either a 
serial data connection or an Ethernet Connection.
