Four Channel Video Transmitters and Receivers With Two

Channels of Bi-Directional Audio

Model Numbers:

FBR-4V2AS-TX – Transmitter, Single-mode Fiber FBR-4V2AM-TX – Transmitter, Multimode Fiber

FBR-4V2AS-RX – Receiver, Single-mode Fiber FBR-4V2AM-RX – Receiver, Multimode Fiber

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The FBR-4V2A(M/S)-TX and FBR-4V2A(M/S)-RX operate as a transmitter / receiver pair for the transmission of four baseband NTSC or PAL video signals, with two channels of line-level, bidirectional audio, over a single multimode or single-mode fiber.

The FBR-4V2A(M/S)-TX converts four video inputs, and two audio inputs, to an optical fiber output. The FBR-4V2A(M/S)-TX also converts an optical fiber input, returning over the same fiber, into two audio outputs.

The FBR-4V2A(M/S)-RX converts an optical fiber input into four video outputs, and two audio outputs. The FBR-4V2A(M/S)-RX also converts two audio inputs into an optical fiber output, returning over the same fiber.

These units are contained in compact and rugged steel housings with internal dc voltage regulation. The detachable terminal blocks and LED indicators provide for easy installation and monitoring of video, optical link, and dc power.

The units operate either surface mounted as modular, stand alone units, or within a rack mounted card cage.

INSTALLATION

THE INSTALLATION OF THIS UNIT SHOULD BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON(S) AND MUST CONFORM TO ALL LOCAL CODES.

The general connectivity of the units is detailed in Figure 1.

Mount the unit to a secure surface using #8 (3mm) hardware in four places. See Figure 3 for a full size mounting template. Be sure to allow sufficient room for the required minimum bend radius of the fiber cable used.

POWER SOURCE

The unit requires a +12VDC power source for proper operation. The DC input is diode protected against reverse polarity connection.

In the USA and in Canada, for standalone surface mounted installation, an Aventura Technologies FBRPSUS12DC1A is supplied with this unit. Contact Aventura Technologies for ordering power supply units for use in countries other than the USA and Canada.

When installed in a rack mounted card cage, the power for the unit is supplied from the card cage’s power supply.

POWER CONNECTION

Power is supplied to the unit via a two pin terminal connector. Follow the labeling on the unit for proper connections of the +12 volt dc and ground leads.

VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTION

The video input and output connections are made via BNC connectors on the front of the units. The video inputs and outputs are 75 ohms. For proper operation, the video outputs must be terminated with

75 ohms. For optimum performance, the use of the shortest practical length of coax cables is recommended.

FIBER CONNECTION

The fiber optic connections are made via ST (multimode fiber) or FC (single-mode fiber) connectors, located on the rear of the units.

AUDIO INPUT / OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

Audio input/output connections are made via an RJ-45 connector on the front of each unit. The pinout of the audio RJ-45 connector is shown in Figure 2.

An RJ-45 to 8-contact terminal block adapter is supplied with the unit to allow for easy termination of the wires to the units.

Alternatively, a standard category 5e Ethernet patch cord can be used to plug directly into the data RJ45 connector. The far side of the patch cord can then be terminated appropriately. Consult the installation instructions for your audio device if you are unsure which two wires on the audio device are the drive (audio out) wires and which two wires are the receive (audio in) wires.

Please note that Audio In on the FBR-4V2A(M/S)-TX becomes Audio Out on the FBR-4V2A(M/S)-

RX after going across the fiber. The reverse flow follows the same orientation.

STATUS INDICATORS

The unit provides the following LED status indicators to aid in installation and troubleshooting:

POWER INDICATOR

A bi-color LED indicator monitors the voltage at the module’s input connector and the operating internal voltage of the module. The power status associated with this LED is summarized below.

Power Indicator Power Status

Green

Proper Input Voltage Present – Proper Internal Operating Voltage Present

Red Proper Input Voltage Present – Internal Operating Voltage Faulty

Off No Input Voltage Detected

OPTICAL LINK INDICATOR

A bi-color LED indicator monitors the power of, and proper synchronization with the optical input signal that is being received at the FBR-4V2A(M/S)-TX and/or FBR-4V2A(M/S)-RX. The Optical Link status associated with this LED is summarized below.

Optical Link Indicator Optical Status

Green Proper Optical Input Present

Red Optical Input Not Detected

Off Check Power Supply

VIDEO INPUT INDICATORS

A bi-color LED indicator for each video input channel of the FBR-4V2A(M/S)-TX monitors the status of the video inputs. The video input status associated with this LED is summarized below.

Video Input Indicator Video Input Status

Green Proper Video Input Present

Red Video Input Not Correct (Wrong Level or Polarity)

Off No Video Input Detected
