Fly Cam System

A 2RU Fiber Solution That Can Be Configured For Your Exact Requirement!

Joseph Electronics created an integrated, single-fiber data-transmission solution for high-speed, aerial-camera maker FlyCam™ USA. With JE’s custom solution, FlyCam™ USA can send data and HD video back and forth on a single fiber, leaving the system’s second fiber available as a backup.

JFS designed a system that can send bidirectional data and HD video over just one fiber, ensuring there is always an unused fiber on standby. The three-box solution includes a small, lightweight I/O interface box flying with the camera, a box on the ground, and a box at the truck compound for the operator. Signals from the FlyCam to the ground include an HD send, genlock return, 2 bi-directional RS data paths, and an Ethernet port. Signals from the ground to the truck compound add intercom and return video with a switch to allow full operation from the ground for troubleshooting purposes independent of the truck compound, a key feature when the TV compound can be a significant distance away. Also, a 1310nm “bypass” channel allows additional signals to be added in the future without a significant cost impact.
