Description

Model 3101 is a stand-alone board that converts the parallel LVDS outputs from an HD video camera to HD-TVI (High Definition Transport Video Interface), thereby making it possible to transmit the video over a single coaxial cable of up to 1000 feet in length. It is supplied as a compact, bare board to allow it to be directly mounted on top of the camera or to fit into any nearby, convenient location in space-constrained applications.

A single, external 12 VDC supply provides all necessary operating power for both the camera and 3101 board. The board routes power to the camera, and also includes a connector for pass-through serial communication. Alternatively, the camera's serial communication signals may be routed to the board's VBI data injector/extractor, thus allowing the camera to be controlled over the HD-TVI coaxial cable.

The board employs a 30-pin KEL type connector to convey all camera signals and power. To interface the camera, simply connect it to the 3101 board with a 30-conductor micro coaxial cable (not included). The connector pinout is compatible with industry-standard block cameras such as Sony's FCB-EV7520A.
