Hybrid Fiber between the Base Station and Camera Unit
Fig. 5-3: Hybrid Fiber between the Base Station and Camera Unit
Between the Base Station (A) the Camera Unit (B) is a length of Hybrid Fiber Cable (C). The
maximum length of this hybrid cable is 240 meters. The cable is deployed from a fiber reel.
At each end of the fiber cable is a "wet" SMPTE 304M Fiber Connector carrying 12 Volts of
power.
The Base Station is powered by an internal AC power supply (D). The Camera Unit is
powered through the Hybrid Fiber Cable. The Camera (E) connected to the Camera Unit can
either be powered from the external power connection on the T-POV Camera Unit or from
its own local power supply. If the camera is powered from the T-POV, the total power
budget must not exceed a total of 95 Watts.
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 (T-POV 324 only).
