XK-V103TDS Four-SDI-Input COFDM Video Transmitter

Bring four camera views from a mobile platform onto a COFDM video link. XK-V103TDS combines four SDI inputs with serial data connections for equipment such as inspection and firefighting robots.

  • Four SDI inputs support multiple camera views on one platform without treating four separate camera positions as four independent transmitters.
  • Three RS232 and two RS485 data channels accommodate equipment with different serial connections.
  • 12–25 V DC input, nominal 12 V; ≤27 W consumption at 33 dBm (2 W) RF output defines the listed electrical load.
  • 170 × 162 × 40 mm transmitter, ≤1000 g, gives a defined installation envelope.

XK-V103TDS Four-SDI-Input COFDM Video Transmitter Overview

XK-V103TDS is intended for equipment that needs several camera views alongside serial data. Its four SDI inputs and H.264/AVC encoding support a multi-camera video arrangement, while the listed RS232 and RS485 connections provide interfaces for platform data.

For a mobile robot, the video-source arrangement and the serial devices belong in the same configuration discussion. Xingkai checks the proposed equipment, transmitter and receiving arrangement, then identifies the selected units and accessories in the quotation. The quoted configuration determines the supplied items.

Connections and Integration

Connect the camera feeds through the four SDI inputs. The listed data interfaces are three RS232 and two RS485 channels at 1200–115200 baud, 8N1; transmitter configuration uses a separate RS232 connection at 9600 baud. Frequency, bandwidth and picture mode are listed as remotely configurable.

Xingkai checks the required camera and data arrangement when specifying the link; connector pinouts and the receiving equipment should be included in the agreed configuration.

CONFIGURATION & SUPPLY

Map the V103TDS Cameras and Serial Devices

Define the camera views and platform-data connections as one V103TDS configuration. The quotation identifies the four-SDI transmitter, proposed receiving display arrangement and picture mode, with the selected serial connections, units and accessories listed for the agreed installation.

Describe each camera and serial device

List each SDI camera with its resolution and frame rate, and the views needed at the receiving station. Map the application devices to RS232 or RS485 with their baud rates and data requirements; include the power supply and unit quantities.

Receive the multi-camera configuration quote

Xingkai checks the SDI sources, H.264 receiving arrangement, picture-mode requirement and serial-device allocation. The quotation specifies the proposed frequency and bandwidth, receiving equipment and agreed accessory scope.

Confirm the combined installation

Agree the camera and data mapping, receiving outputs, radio settings and component quantities. Check the installation against 12–25 V DC input and the listed ≤27 W condition at 2 W RF output, then confirm delivery terms.

Supply and dispatch

Xingkai supplies and ships the agreed V103TDS configuration and listed equipment according to the confirmed order.

FAQs

How should I specify live viewing and recording of the four SDI feeds?

Identify which camera views must be visible or recorded at the same time, and whether the receiving system needs individual feeds or a combined picture. Then state the monitor and recorder inputs and required recording formats. V103TDS supports four-camera transmission, but that does not by itself define the receiving picture layout or recording outputs. Those receiving functions and any separate recorder should be identified with the proposed picture-mode configuration.

Can I connect an HDMI camera directly?

The listed inputs for this model are SDI. An HDMI camera should not be assumed to plug directly into the transmitter. Send its model and output format so any required interface equipment can be identified separately.

Which delay figure matters when the robot sends video and receives commands?

The listed end-to-end video delay is about 300 ms; the data-delay entry is about 24 ms at 115200 baud with a 60-byte payload. Keep the two paths separate in your requirements: the picture informs the operator, while command and status messages use the data arrangement. State the command size, update rate and required response time for the application. Neither entry alone describes a complete command-to-action-and-feedback cycle.

Is the controller included in the transmitter weight?

The catalogue lists the transmitter and controller separately: transmitter ≤1000 g, controller ≤84 g. Confirm the supplied controller, cables and antennas in the quotation before calculating the installed assembly weight.

Can I budget the maximum video bitrate separately for each SDI camera?

The 0.5–18.8 Mbps entry is not identified as a separate allowance for each of four inputs. State the required format and bitrate for each view, which views take priority, and the serial-message sizes and update rates. These define the combined video/data task for selecting bandwidth and picture mode; four input connectors do not establish four independent wireless capacities or a guaranteed result at the intended distance.
