ABSTRACT:
A data transmission method and apparatus is disclosed by which bidirectional transmission of a plurality of optical signals obtained by conversion of a plurality of serial digital data can be achieved efficiently using a single common optical signal transmission cable. A plurality of serial data based on digital video signals from a camera section are converted into a plurality of optical signals using a CWDM technique and then multiplexed into a multiplexed optical signal. The multiplexed optical signal is signaled to a signal transmission cable through a bidirectional WDM coupler disposed at a first end of the optical signal transmission cable so as to be transmitted from the first end to a second end of the optical signal transmission cable. Further, serial data based on return video signals from a signal recording and reproduction section are converted into optical signals and then signaled to the optical signal transmission cable through another bidirectional WDM coupler disposed at the second end of the optical signal transmission cable. Consequently, the optical signals are transmitted from the second end to the first end of the optical signal transmission cable.
