Amplicon can offer low cost or industrial grade solutions for the transmission of serial-based PTZ signals over fibre-optic cabling.

Whether singlemode or multimode cable is in place, the simple addition of a physical layer conversion device at either end will allow existing cabling to be used for telemetry signals.

The diagram above shows a simple point to point solution although more intricate bus and star topologies are possible.

Where existing fibre is being used as a medium for Ethernet, Serial over Ethernet conversion boxes offer an alternative solution for the distribution of PTZ signals. Serial to Ethernet solutions are widely used for sending RS232 PoS data, PTZ signals and RS485 based access control signals across IP networks. This means data can be sent across a LAN, WAN or even the internet facilitating global distribution of legacy serial protocols.
