2.3.Signal paths in the CopperHead FS-790 Transceiver System
The CopperHead FS-790 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 transmission 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.
When the hybrid fiber cable option is used, the link also provides power to the Camera Unit and the
camera itself. Only the single fiber link or hybrid fiber link is required between the Base Station and the
Camera Unit.
