Claim 17:
18. Transmission system for transmitting output unit signals and control signals between multiple optically coupled units,
wherein at least one pair, at least two pairs, or each pair of optically connected units is connected via an optical transmission connection based on a respective single optical fiber,
wherein the transmission system comprises the following optically coupled units:
an output unit that outputs collected data or collected signals via a first optical transmission connection that is realized by a unidirectional or bidirectional first single optical fiber,
wherein the output unit comprises a camera or wherein the output unit is configured to output physiological data or at least one physiological signal, at least one sending and receiving unit or at least two sending and receiving units, each sending and receiving unit configured to simultaneously receive the collected data or the collected signals and to send external control data or control signals via at least one second optical transmission connection that is realized by at least one bidirectional second single optical fiber,
an optical coupling unit that is coupled optically between the output unit and the at least one sending and receiving unit or between the output unit and the at least two each of the sending and receiving units,
a control transfer unit that is configured to receive the external control data or control signals from the at least one sending and receiving unit or from the at least two sending and receiving units via the optical coupling unit,
wherein the control transfer unit is configured to control the output unit depending on the received external control signals or control data,
comprising a first sending and receiving unit of the at least one sending and receiving unit or of the at least two sending and receiving units,
wherein the first sending and receiving unit comprises an optical receiver unit that comprises an optoelectronic input element that receives light and outputs an electrical signal,
and wherein the first sending and receiving unit comprises an optical transmitter unit that comprises an optoelectronic output element that converts an electrical signal in a light signal, and
wherein the first sending and receiving unit is optically coupled to the optical coupling unit by a first one of the at least one second optical transmission connection,
wherein a first receiving and sending unit of the at least one sending and receiving unit or of the at least two sending and receiving units comprises a radio transceiver circuitry that is connected to the optical transmitter unit of the first receiving and sending unit and to the optical receiver unit of the first receiving and sending unit, and
a) at least one interface unit to at least one computing device that is configured to process the collected data or collected signals or b) alternatively at least one computing device that is configured to process the collected data or collected signals.
