Abstract: A configurable, modular video data transport system with a connector module that has an input connector, and output connector, a voltage regulator adapted to be connected to an external power source and provide a regulated power supply output, and a controller operatively coupled to the voltage regulator output, the input connector and the output connector. There are a series of receiver modules each having an input connector and an output connector, the output connector of each receiver module constructed and arranged to mate with the input connector of the connector module so that each receiver module can be directly mechanically and electrically coupled to the connector module and pass data signals to the connector module.

Abstract: A connector module for interfacing electrical or optical connectors to electrical systems such as an audio/visual signal processing board. The module includes a housing defining at least first and second faces, at least the second face being less than about one square inch in area. There is a first electrical or optical connector at the first face, and a second electrical connector at the second face, in which the second electrical connector is a pin connector.

Abstract: A system includes a multiplexing transceiver which is adapted to mount directly between a video camera and a camera battery pack, eliminating the need for triaxial adapters or other electrical cables at the camera and video production facility. A fiber optic cable carries upstream and downstream television signals between the camera-mountable transceiver and a remote base station transceiver. The camera-mountable transceiver includes a transmitter adapted for converting an electrical information input signal received from the camera to an optical output signal. The transceiver further includes a receiver adapted for converting an optical input signal received from the fiber optic cable to an electrical information output signal. A transceiver housing includes a first plate on a first side for mounting the housing to the camera and a second plate on a second side for mounting the housing to a power source.
