Module Description
The Optical HD-SDI Transceiver can convert an
electrical HD-SDI bitstream to an optical HD-SDI
bitstream while simultaneously converting a
separate optical HD-SDI bitstream into an electrical
HD-SDI bitstream. With the ‘standard’ interface
card fitted (rear view shown above), the optical
input path provides four identical electrical HD-SDI
outputs and the electrical HD-SDI input channel
can provide up to four identical optical HD-SDI
outputs.
The electrical high definition serial digital (HD-SDI)
bitstream interfaces are via 75
Ω
BNC connectors
on the backpanel of the rear interface card. The
optical outputs are via the SMPTE292M
recommended SC/PC singlemode fibre optic
connectors. The SC/PC connector is robust and
easy to use, a simple snap-fit enables a reliable
connection to be made in a matter of seconds.
Connected to the single output of the laser
transmitter is an optional passive optical splitting
