2-8. Connections
The SkyVision system connects multiple types of video sources (VGA, DVI, SDI, HD-SDI or S-Video/
Composite) to the control rack through conduit runways over single strand multi-mode optical fibers via
source conversion faceplates (Figure 5) located near the source. The conversion faceplates are installed
in the boom arm equipment carriers or in double-gang electrical wall boxes (Figure 6) depending on the
location of the source. The conversion faceplates convert a copper wire signal (digital or analog) to a
fiber-optic digital signal. Low voltage power lines are the only other type of connection utilized to and from
the SkyVision system. Copper wiring is only employed between components at the rear of the SkyVision
control rack. See Figure 7 and for a typical system build drawing set (plan and elevation views) that shows
a layout of the affected room(s), equipment, and cable routing.
