Optical transmission system

摘要

The present invention provides an optical transmission system that optically transmits an optical signal between a camera adaptor provided to a video camera and a base station provided at a position remote from the video camera. In the optical transmission system, the camera adaptor includes a control signal input unit that receives a control signal including a return signal component, a video selecting unit that outputs, to the exterior, the camera video signal component of the first electric signal of the return video signal component of the second electric signal based on a state of the return signal component, and a control signal separating unit that outputs the control signal other than the return signal component.

1. An optical transmission system comprising:
a camera adaptor provided to a video camera; and a base station provided at a position remote from the video camera, wherein: an optical signal is optically transmitted between the camera adaptor and the base station; the camera adaptor converts a first electric signal including a camera video signal component from the video camera into a first optical signal, and transmits the first optical signal to the base station; the base station receives the first optical signal, converts the first optical signal into the first electric signal, and outputs the first electric signal to an exterior; the base station converts a second electric signal including a return video signal component from a switcher into a second optical signal, and transmits the second optical signal to the camera adaptor; the camera adaptor receives the second optical signal and converts the second optical signal into the second electric signal; either of the camera video signal component and the return video signal component is a digital video signal; and the camera adaptor includes:
a signal separating unit that receives a control signal including a return signal component, and outputs the control signal other than the return signal component to the video camera; anda video selecting unit that outputs, to the exterior that does not include the video camera or the base station, one of the camera video signal component of the first electric signal and the return video signal component of the second electric signal based on a state of the return signal component of the control signal.
