9211-OE, 9212-EO User Manual Introduction •••• 1-1

Overview

The 9211-OE and 9212-EO are capable of equalizing and reclocking all common serial digital signals. With support for both standard-definition and high-definition signals, the 9211-OE and 9212-EO are the ideal universal SDI distribution amplifiers.

Both cards provide the ability to transport digital video baseband signals over a fiber optic link, allowing for longer transport distances. The electrical to optical (9212-EO) and optical to electrical (9211-OE) conversions are done using video specific small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers.

Both cards equalize the incoming SDI signal, then reclocks the signal with automatic rate detection for all popular data rates. LED indicators at the front of the card identify the presence of incoming video and the identified signal data rate.

In a 20-slot frame, the 9211-OE can be operated as a 1x6 using a Full Rear Module or operated as an independent 1x3 (one in, three out), using the Split Rear Module. In the 1x3 configuration, the outputs are no n-inverting, making it an excellent ASI distribution amplifier.

Features

The following features are standard for the 9211-OE and 9212-EO:

• Supports a wide variety of standards (SD, HD, and 3G SDI)

• Conforms to SMPTE 424M, SMPTE 292M, and SMPTE 259M

• Reclocking at 270Mbps, 1.483Gbps, 1.485Gbps, and 2.970Gbps

• 9211-OE provides one fiber optic input and six SDI outputs using a Full Rear Module

• 9212-EO provides one SDI input, one fiber optic output, and five SDI outputs using a Full

Rear Module

• LC/UPC Optical Connection

• Automatic detection of incoming data rate

• LED indicators for signal presence and data rate

• Reports status and configuration remotely via the DashBoard Control System™

• Fits 20-slot frames (HPF-9000, OG3-FR, 8321)

• High density with 20 cards per frame in a 20-slot frame using Split Rear Modules

• Fully compliant with openGear specifications

• 5-year transferable warranty
