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.
