is there a chip or small board solution that would change stamp level rs232 to
fiber and also allow for a one way ntsc video signal? Otherwise I have to have
both a rs485 pair as well as a video fiber ???

    There are expensive commercial systems that do this all the time. It
    requires a multiplexer to convert the NTSC video from the camera and
    transmit it down the fiber, as well as multiplex a 232 channel from
    the camera back to the receiver.

    At the receiver end, there is a similar demultiplexer to re-convert
    the NTSC video from fiber to co-ax, and pull out the 232 channel.
    I havn't heard of a simple (less than $200) way of doing this.

    I'm looking on the net, about 5-7 years ago American Fibertek(spelling) sold
    me one for a couple hundred (but it was video only, no bi-directional data)
    that wasn't bad. I can't seem to find them on the net. Will keep looking
    on the net and share what I find.
