1/3 IP CONNECTIVITY FOR EMC TEST SITES

Requirements are increasing


In the past surveillance systems for EMC test sites mainly viewed the video in the control room next to the EMC
chamber. But requirements grow: The management wants to see what is going on the chamber or customers want
to view the test without being allowed to interfere.
Some times additional non-shielded cameras are placed around the chamber at the doors or the loading zone.

Network access to the cameras


There are two options to implement IP access:
A) All cameras used are IP models

P/ T P/ T

LAN Switch
Control Room

Surveillance No local display per camera

EMC PC

Fibre to Ethernet

Remote PC
Fibre Optic
Ethernet

PRO:
n They can be viewed on any PC with video surveillance software.
n No special video controller is needed

CON:
n Only compressed video with corresponding latency up to 1 second is available.
With some immunity tests this can be critical.
n Special features like recording, projects and event detection are not available.
To use these features you need additional special software, if available at all.

B) The EMC cameras are non IP and connected to a camera controller

PRO:
n Uncompressed video, almost no latency locally and best video quality possible. This can be crucial e.g. when
looking at displays.
n Special features for EMC cameras available: Modern camera controllers like the PONTIS EMC HDCon6 offer a
variety of special features.
n Network access to the cameras via the controller: Although the cameras are not directly connected to the net-
work, the controller is importing the video by a frame grabber and retransmits it to the clients in the network.
n Add cameras to a controller: Sometimes it may be needed to connect more cameras to the controller than
chan-
nels are available. Then shielded IP cameras can be used (e.g. PONTIS EMC IPCam72).
n Non shielded IP cameras can be integrated: The controller can access and show any IP cameras in the network
that support OnVIF. This can also be off the shelf, unshielded IP cameras for surveillance outside the chamber
(e.g. amplifier room or loading zone).

CON:
n Special controller needed: A special controller is needed. But as it offers many features in one device, the total
cost is even less than with individual PCs and software.

Access of local EMC cameras via the network


PONTIS EMC PECOS allows to access all EMC shielded cameras on a site from multiple PCs.
Each HDCon6 camera controller running PECOS can drive up to four HD-SDI cameras plus multiple IP cameras. If
several HDCon6 are used they can all be accessed via LAN from any PC in the network.
Move the camera, record, replay, make snapshots – you have full control.

Ethernet in device under test


More and more devices use Ethernet for communications especially in the automotive domain.
For this shielded converters for Ethernet and BroadR-Reach (automotive Ethernet) are needed.

If many Ethernet ports need to be connected, a shielded switch like the PONTIS EMC foEt-
hernet4c can be useful. It offers four electrical and one optical port. The optical can be used
to feed the Ethernet signal from the chamber to the control room w/o any interference.

POE (Power Over Ethernet) gets more and more popular. As the mains power needs to be injected in the
chamber, a shielded POE adaptor is quite useful. Also available from PONTIS EMC.
