A UTF (Up the Fiber ) transmitter (TX) converts a
composite video signal into a high-quality, 9-bit
digitised optical equivalent and transmits this over
single-mode or multimode optical fiber. All UTF
Bilinx units support the Bilinx protocol. The data
signal is to be put on the coax cable, using suitable
equipment. The bidirectional data link enables camera
control over the same, extended distances as can be
bridged with standard
Additionally, the transmitter provides an independent,
voltage-free alarm contact (normally open) for door
contacts and anti-tamper contacts, for example.
Complementary UTF receivers (RX) receive and
convert the optical signal to video/contact closure.
UTF 4200 models use one transmission wavelength
(1300 nm), whereas UTF 4210 and 4250 models use
two (1310 nm and 1550 nm). RX-2 models are dual
units, each subunit capable of communicating with a
separate transmitter.
A wide range of operating temperatures makes the
stand-alone transmit ter suitable for use within outdoor
camera housings and camera connection boxes (see
datasheet).
The TX MSA miniature, stand-alone transmitter can be
powered by the camera power supply (12-24 Vdc or
24 Vac) or by a PSA/PSR 12 DC.
If 24 V is used, read section 3 first.
AC
For operation under extreme environmental conditions,
the PSR 12 DC is recommended.
The UTF receivers (RX, RX-2) are designed for use in
a TKH Security MC power supply rack. The UTF
42xx/SA are the stand-alone versions of the rack-
mounted models. UTF 42xx systems are SNM
compatible.
The general connection layout is given in figure 1.
