5. How the CVT4KS Works
5.1 Signal transmission via fiber optics
The CVT4K-S converts electrical signals from a sending card into optical signals. These signals are then transmitted through fiber-optic cables, which are known for their high bandwidth and minimal signal attenuation. The optical signals travel over the fiber cables to a receiving card, where they are converted back into electrical signals for display.
5.2 Connection between sending and receiving cards
In a typical setup, the CVT4K-S is installed between the sending card and the receiving card of an LED display system. It supports both single-mode and multi-mode fiber cables. Single-mode fibers are used for long-distance transmission, potentially reaching up to 10 kilometers, while multi-mode fibers cater to shorter distances.
5.3 Real-time data transfer and latency reduction
The CVT4K-S is engineered to handle real-time data transfer. Its efficient design minimizes latency, guaranteeing that video signals are synchronized with minimal delay.
