The smart, compact converter hub for PTZ camera control over fiber

Fiber Dock One is a standalone, four-channel converter hub designed to simplify and centralize control of your PTZ camera system.
Supporting 3G SDI video and Ethernet-based camera control, it enables full operation over long distances using a single fiber optic cable per camera.

Where to place Fiber Dock One in the setup?

Installed near your monitoring equipment and PTZ controller—away from the camera location—Fiber Dock One acts as the central station where all connections come together.

It routes SDI video from camera to switcher or monitor, handles Ethernet control data between camera and controller, and delivers 24VDC remote power to each connected PTZ camera.

Working in combination with FieldCast Hybrid main cable and PTZ Monk, Fiber Dock One powers and controls up to four PTZ cameras—all with a clean, compact setup that’s easy to deploy in any professional environment.

Features

  • Robust 19″ rack mount aluminum enclosure, 1RU in height, to be mounted near your monitoring system and PTZ camera controller.
  • Four FieldCast 2Core SM Hybrid Chassis Connectors on the backside to connect easily to four FieldCast 2Core SM Hybrid main cables.
  • Four BNC SDI connectors with dual SDI output on the backside to connect to your SDI switcher or monitor.
  • One RJ-45 Ethernet connector to connect to your PTZ camera controller.
  • FieldCast color coding on all four fiber connectors for easy identification.
  • Converts four fiber channels to four SDI channels.
  • Converts fiber to Ethernet and Ethernet to fiber.
