›TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The disclosure relates to the field of power supply, and in particular to a back-end circuit for processing an analogue video signal and direct current power, a front-end circuit for processing an analogue video signal and direct current power and a Power Over Coaxia (POC) circuit for an analogue video signal.

›BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

In a transmission process on a coaxial cable, an analogue video signal (including a high-definition analogue video signal) and a coaxial signal are required to be transmitted, power is also required to be transmitted, that is, signals (such as the analogue video signal and the coaxial signal) and power of a power supply are composed and transmitted on a coaxial cable. Engineering cabling adopting such a transmission manner may considerably reduce cost and shorten construction time. Power Over Ethernet (POE) may implement power supply over the Ethernet through 10 BASE-T, 100 BASE-TX and 1000 BASE-T, reliably implements power supply of a centralized power supply, and is convenient to be used, and power may be supplied to a network terminal merely by virtue of a network cable without an external power supply. This technology is widely applied at present, may transmit a data signal for an Internet Protocol (IP)-based terminal, and can also provide direct current power for such equipment. A POE solution for transmitting a network signal and power together on a network cable makes a transmission process digitalized and networked, and ensures high transmission reliability. However, such a solution also has some defects, for example: first, the POE solution is used to transmit network data, and an image is required to be digitalized before transmission, so that cost is relatively high; and second, numerous coaxial cables are used in a monitoring field at present, so that the POE solution is infeasible.

In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the disclosure clearer, the disclosure will be further described below with reference to specific implementation modes and the drawings in detail. It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. In addition, in the following descriptions, descriptions about known structures and technologies are eliminated to avoid unnecessary confusions about concepts of the disclosure.

It is important to note that: impedance mentioned hereinafter mainly refers to electric impedance, is a complex number employing a resistance value as a real part and employing a reactance value as an imaginary part, and takes ohm as unit. Reactance includes capacitive reactance and inductive reactance. Generally, capacitance represents capacitance reactance and inductance represents inductive reactance.

FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram of a back-end circuit for processing an analogue video signal and power according to a first implementation mode of the disclosure. The back-end processing circuit may be applied to back-end processing equipment, such as a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) in a monitoring system.

The back-end circuit for processing the analogue video signal and the direct current power includes an analogue video signal passing circuit configured to block the direct current power and let the analogue video signal pass and direct current power passing circuit configured to block the analogue video signal and let the direct current power pass, the analogue video signal passing circuit includes a capacitor C 2 , the direct current power passing circuit includes a diode D 2 and an inductor L 2 , one end of the capacitor C 2 is connected with a video signal end, the other end of the capacitor C 2 is connected with one end of the inductor L 2 and an anode of the diode D 2 respectively, and both the other end of the inductor L 2 and a cathode of the diode D 2 are connected with a power input end.

The back-end processing circuit is electrically connected with an external coaxial cable; when the back-end processing circuit transmits the direct current power, the direct current power VCC is subjected to impedance of 0 on a circuit formed by connecting the diode D 2 in parallel with the inductor L 2 , and the direct current power may be directly input/output through an interface of the coaxial cable. At the same time, since the capacitor C 2 presents high impedance to the direct current power, the direct current power may be separated by the capacitor C 2 from the analogue video signal transmitted through the video signal end, and the direct current power may not influence input of the analogue video signal; when the back-end processing circuit transmits the analogue video signal, the alternating current signal is subjected to low impedance because the analogue video signal is an alternating current signal and the impedance of the capacitor C 2 is relatively low. However, the circuit formed by connecting the diode D 2 in parallel with the inductor L 2 presents high impedance to the analogue video signal, so that the analogue video signal is isolated from the direct current power and the analogue video signal may be superimposed to the direct current power without mutual influence and exclusion to realize a function of superimposing the direct current power on an analogue high-definition video cable; and obviously, the back-end processing circuit is electrically connected with the coaxial cable to implement simultaneous transmission of the direct current power and the analogue video signal on the coaxial cable, so that cost is reduced, and moreover, construction time is shortened, wherein the direct current power may be directly input from one end of the coaxial cable, and the coaxial interface may be BNC1.

FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram of a back-end circuit for processing an analogue video signal and power according to a second implementation mode of the disclosure.

In an example embodiment, the anode of the diode D 2 is further connected with a matching circuit, the matching circuit is a termination matching circuit, and the termination matching circuit includes a Thevenin termination matching circuit and an RC termination matching circuit.

The diode D 2 , the inductor L 2 , the capacitor C 2 and the matching circuit form direct current power and analogue video signal superimposition core component, which mainly implements superimposition of the direct current power and the analogue video signal. A working principle of the processing circuit is that: for the direct current power, the inductor L 2 is free of inductive reactance, that is, the direct current power is subjected to impedance of 0 on a circuit formed by connecting the diode D 2 , the inductor L 2 and the matching circuit in parallel; at this moment, the capacitor C 2 presents high impedance to the high direct power, so that the capacitor C 2 may separate the direct current power from the analogue video signal transmitted through the video signal end, and the direct current power may not influence the input of the analogue video signal; when the back-end processing circuit is electrically connected with the external coaxial cable, the direct current power may be directly output to a front end from one end of the coaxial cable (for example, the coaxial interface BNC1, it may also be an RCA interface of course, and BNC1 is taken as an example hereinafter) and supply power to the front-end processing equipment such as a camera or a video camera; for the analogue video signal input from the coaxial interface BNC1 of the coaxial cable, since the analogue video signal is an alternating current signal and the impedance of the capacitor C 2 is relatively low for the alternating current signal, the analogue video signal is subjected to low impedance in a process of input from the coaxial interface BNC1 to a video A/D conversion circuit, but is subjected to high impedance on the circuit formed by connecting the diode D 2 , the inductor L 2 and the matching circuit in parallel. According to this working principle, the analogue video signal may be isolated from the direct current power VCC and the analogue video signal may be superimposed to the direct current power VCC without mutual influence and exclusion to realize the function of superimposing the power to an analogue high-definition video cable.

›DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS · 2 of 6

The diode D 2 exists to prevent discontinuous current from causing fluctuation of voltages at two ends of the inductor. When the coaxial cable is unplugged after the back-end processing circuit is electrically connected with the external coaxial cable, energy on the inductor L 2 may be released through D 2 .

Since a spectrum range of the analogue video signal is relatively wide, the maximum spectrum may reach dozens of megahertz or even hundreds of megahertz. When a signal of a higher frequency is superimposed to a power component, a signal integrity problem such as reflection caused by discontinuous impedance may occur to distort the analogue video signal and further influence definition of an image. After the termination matching circuit is added, signal reflection may be effectively reduced. At present, matching manners of the termination matching circuit include: a source-end series matching manner, a terminal parallel matching manner, a Thevenin matching manner, an RC network matching manner, a diode matching manner and the like, and all of these manners may achieve a terminal matching purpose.

In an example embodiment, the video signal end is further connected with a video processing circuit, the video processing circuit includes a video A/D conversion circuit and a low-pass filter, one end of the low-pass filter is connected with the video A/D conversion circuit, and the other end of the low-pass filter is connected with one end of the capacitor C 2 .

The video A/D conversion circuit, also called a video A/D converter, is a circuit which quantifies (discretizes) and converts an analogue quantity or a continuously changing quantity into a corresponding digital quantity.

The low-pass filter allows a signal with a frequency lower than a cutoff frequency to pass, and forbids a signal with a frequency higher than the cutoff frequency to pass. The most common low-pass filters include a Butterworth filter and a Chebyshev filter.

In an optional embodiment, the cathode of the diode D 2 is further connected with a superimposed circuit configured to implement high impedance to the analogue video signal, the superimposed circuit includes a capacitor, a triode and a resistor, and when the triode is in an amplification state, high impedance to the analogue video signal is implemented by utilizing the characteristic that the capacitor presents low impedance to the alternating current signal and adopting the resistors with different resistances.

A reason for arranging the superimposed circuit is that for the inductor L 2 , impedance of an inductance coil is directly proportional to a frequency in case of a low frequency, but the impedance of the whole inductance coil may rapidly decrease due to existence of distributed capacitance of the inductor in case of a high frequency, that is, the impedance of the induction coil increases along with increase of the frequency at first, the impedance reaches a maximum value when arriving at a Self-Resonant Frequency (SRF) point, then the impedance rapidly decreases to 0, and when the frequency continues increasing, the induction coil may have a capacitance reactance characteristic.

When the frequency is relatively low, particularly 1,000 Hz and below, the impedance of the inductor is not enough, which may cause serious attenuation of a signal receiver in a low-frequency band to influence quality of a video. The triode of the superimposed circuit is set into the amplification state, and high impedance to the analogue video signal may be implemented through an adjustable resistor by virtue of a characteristic of the triode in an amplification area and the characteristic that the capacitor C 1 presents low impedance to the alternating current signal.

Optionally, the circuit may further include: a superimposed circuit, connected between the direct current power passing circuit and the direct current power, and configured to implement high impedance to the analogue video signal, the superimposed circuit includes a capacitor, a triode and a resistor, and when the triode is in an amplification state, high impedance to the analogue video signal is implemented by utilizing the characteristic that the capacitor presents low impedance to the alternating current signal and adopting the resistors with different resistances.

A working principle of the superimposed circuit is that: an external offset parameter is set to position the triode Q 3 and the triode Q 4 in the amplification area to make a voltage of pin 3 of the triode Q 4 higher than a voltage of pin 1 and make the voltage of pin 1 higher than a voltage of pin 2 , and then power supply current flows to the inductor L 2 through pin 3 and pin 2 of the triode Q 4 after being amplified by the triode Q 3 and the triode Q 4 ; but for the analogue video signal, since the analogue video signal is an alternating current signal and the capacitor C 1 presents low impedance, by virtue of the characteristic of the triode in the amplification area (current flowing through pin 1 and pin 2 of the triode determines current flowing through pin 3 and pin 2 ) and high impedance of the resistor R 5 , the current flowing through the triode Q 3 and the triode Q 4 is extremely low and negligible, and impedance subjected by the analogue video signal which passes through the superimposed circuit is approximately equal to the resistance of R 4 ; and resistance of the resistor R 4 may be set to achieve the purpose of high impedance of the analogue video signal.
