connector is disconnected while the unit is powered up.

Although the fiber optic connectors in this product emit only Class 1
energy that is below the levels considered to be hazardous, one should
never stare directly into a fiber optic connector or an unconnected fiber
end unless one can be certain that no exposure to laser energy could
occur.

CAUTION

This manual is intended for use by trained service personnel. The use
of controls, making adjustments, or performing operations other than
those specified may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The 1100E Series is a high performance, yet affordable, Fiber Optic
HD-SDI Digital Video Transport System. The standard 1100E system
is designed to transport one (1) channel SMPTE-292M HD or
SMPTE-259M serial digital video signal over long distance through either
singlemode or multimode fiber. Many versions of optical transmitter
and receiver combinations are available to address different distance
requirements.

Due to the use of advanced digital fiber optic transmission technology,
no user adjustments are required in the 1100E system, enabling quick
setup and trouble-free operation with standard non-reclocking
configuration. The 1100E can handle ATSC, SDI, DVB-ASI, HD, and
many other video formats. One can also choose the reclocking
configuration which provides SMPTE-292M HD, SMPTE-259M SDI and
DVB-ASI signal regeneration.

The 1100E comes with two packaging options: a rugged, standalone,
and compact unit, or a plug-in card for a card cage system. Panel
connectors are provided for digital HD-SDI video (BNC connector) and
fiber connection (FC-type for the singlemode version, or ST-type for the
multimode version). The 1 100E can be easily monitored by front panel
LED indicators for channel activity. Transmitter units provide 1
loop-through output for monitoring, and the receiver provides 2 output for
monitoring and recording.

Front panel LED indicators provide power, optical link and signal detect
reclocking status as illustrated in Figure 1-1.

2.0 SETUP

The BCI 1 100E Series units are used in pairs. For unidirectional systems,
one 1 100E transmitter unit is located at the near end and connected to
the 1 100E receiver located at the far end of the link, connected through
one optical fiber. Each unit provides a separate electrical interface
connector for the various video signals. For bi-directional systems, one
1 100E transceiver unit located at the near end and connects to an 1 100E
transceiver unit located at the far end through two or one (WDM models)
fiber. Connections are one to one between the two units. Figure 2-1
depicts two typical installations.
