1.2 Product Description
Long Distance Analog Surveillance Transmission System
To deploy AHD/CVI/TVI/CVBS analog camera in a remote place
efciently and provide high video quality and reliable signal,
PLANET has developed the video over Gigabit ber media
converter kit, VF-101G/102G/106G-KIT, which is ideal for
extending the distance and signal conversion by transmitting the
AHD/CVI/TVI/CVBS video and data over the ber-optic cable.
Adopting the intelligent encoding/decoding technology and with
the compact box, the VF-101G/102G/106G-KIT video over ber
media converter enables videos to be delivered in high quality
over a distance of up to 20km long.

Fiber Optic Communication for Video and Serial Data
This Video over Gigabit Fiber Converter kit consists of a Video
Transmitter and a Video Receiver:
zVF-101G/102G/106G-T: 1-channel Video over Gigabit Fiber
Transmitter
zVF-101G/102G/106G-R: 1-channel Video over Gigabit Fiber
Receiver
The VF-101G/102G/106G-KIT is a digital ber-optic
transmission system that brings users a cost-effective solution
for transmission of 1 channel uncompressed digital video and
one reverse RS485 async data over one single ber cable.
The VF-101G/102G/106G-KIT is an adjustable free device
providing high-quality and real-time video transmission. It can
be widely used in intelligent transportation systems (ITS), trafc
surveillance, security monitoring, automation control, intelligent
residential districts, etc.

Easy Installation
Simply by Plug and Play, the installation of the
VF-101G/102G/106G-KIT media conversion is quite easy. They
can be used as a stand-alone unit or as a slide-in module to
the PLANET Media Converter Chassis (MC-700, MC-1500
and MC-1500R). When working with the media converter
chassis, the media converter chassis provides DC power to
VF-101G/102G/106G-T or VF-101G/102G/106G-R to maintain
the video over ber-optic transmission system at the central
location.
1.3 Application
The VF-101G/102G/106G-KIT consists of 1 channel video over
ber optic transceiver and receiver to transmit video and RS485

9
signal through a reliable single mode or single ber link. It is an
ideal cost-effective solution for surveillance system that requires
high display quality and high-performance signal transmission
over long distances. The VF-101G/102G/106G-KIT can be
installed easily by way of “Plug and Play”, meaning the operator
does not need to congure the pair of the video over ber
transmission in advance.
The transmitter and receiver can work as standalone or can
be slotted into a rack-mountable media converter chassis.
The exible and maintenance-free design ts in with different
installation environments. With one VF-101G/102G/106G-KIT,
video cameras can be deployed over a distance of up to 20km,
which ideally suits the following applications:
zIntelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
zToll Collection
zTrafc Surveillance
zAir Trafc Management (ATM)
zRail Signaling
zPerimeter Alarms and Area Monitors
zTelemedicine and Teleconference
zIndustrial Surveillance
