GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

1 FIO-1901-TT 3G/HD/SD Electrical to Fiber Optic Converter

1.1 Introduction

The FIO-1901 series are flexible serial digital video To/From Fiber Optic converters for the Densité frames. The FIO­1901 series are designed for SD, HD and 3G serial video as well as compressed bit-streams (DVB-ASI). The series
supports any data rate within the range of 19.4 Mbps to 2.97 Gbps and provides a reclocked serial digital video from
270Mbps to 2.97 Gbps. The FIO-1901 series offer five different configurations: Single or dual fiber Tx, single or dual
fiber Rx and a bi-directional fiber Rx/Tx. The series is based on SFP modules that provide easy product maintenance
and flexibility when multiple wavelengths are needed (as for CWDM). The SFP Modules are also hot-swappable.
The FIO-1901 can be installed in the same chassis as a series of interface modules, providing a wide variety of video,
audio and data conversion and multiplexing functions.

The FIO-1901-TT version incorporates dual optical transmitters, and is also available in a WDM version for use with a
single optical fiber.

1.2 Features

• Supports any serial data rate from 19.4 Mbps (ATSC) to 2.97 Gbps (3G SDI)

• Reclocked serial digital video for 270 Mbps, 1.49 Gbps, and 2.97 Gbps

• Provides unidirectional interface between serial digital and fiber optic

• Supports Multiple wavelength from the standard 1310 nm, 1550 nm to multiple CWDM wavelengths

• WDM (1310/1550) solution for dual Tx cards

• Possible to set the Dual Tx modules in a change over mode.

• Ideal for long video run with “Hum” immunity

• Presence/loss of signal alarm – iControl, on board LED and Densité Control Panel

• SFP Optical power monitoring and repo rt

• Internal SFP temperature alarms on the iControl interface and on the Densité Control Panel

• SFP Module type detections and report mismatch

• Remote monitoring and control

• Convenient front loading design

• The cards and the SFP modules are fully hot swap pable

GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

2 Installation

Miranda Densité-series cards are each associated with a rear connector panel, which must be installed in the Densité
frame before the card can be inserted.

The FIO-1901-TT card is sized to fit into Miranda’s Densité-2 frame. One rear connector panel is available to fit the
Densité 2 frame:

• FIO-1901-TT-SRP – 1 fiber input and 2 electrical outputs
See section 2.1 below for installation instructions.
With the use of available adapters, the FIO-1901-TT and its rear panel can also be installed in a Densité-3 frame. See

section 2.2 below for details.

2.1 Installation in a Densité-2 frame

All cards and rear panels can be installed with the frame power on. The card has connectors which plug into a mid­frame mother board for distribution of power and for connection to the controller card, and a second connector which
plugs directly into the rear connector panel for input and output.

The rear connector panel must be installed with the card out of the frame.

- To remove an existing card from the slot, tilt up the swivel handle on the front of the card to lever the connectors

apart, then use the handle to pull the card straight out of the slot.

Installing the connector panel:

1. If a card is installed in the slot whose rear panel is being changed, remove it as described above.

2. Remove the existing panel (either blank or belonging to an existing card that is being changed) by releasing the
captive screw(s) at the bottom.

3. Position the new panel and secure it in place with the captive screw(s) at the bottom.

GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

Installing the card

Once a matching rear connector panel has been installed, install the FIO-1901-TT card as follows:

1. Open the front panel of the frame.

2. Slide the FIO-1901-TT card into the slot with the swivel handle at the top, and push gently on the handle to seat
the connectors.

3. Close the front panel of the frame.

2.2 Installation in a Densité-3 Frame

All cards and rear panels can be installed with the frame power on. The card has connectors which plug into a mid­frame mother board for distribution of power and for connection to the controller card, and a second connector which
plugs directly into the rear connector panel for input and output.

The rear connector panel must be installed with the card out of the frame.

• To remove an existing card from the slot, tilt up the swivel handle on the front of the card to lever the connectors
apart, then use the handle to pull the card straight out of the slot.

The Densité-3 frame supports many Miranda Densité-2 series cards, including the FIO-1901 -TT. Should you wish to
install the FIO-1901-TT card in your Densité-3 frame, you will need an adapter for the card as well as an adapter for
the rear panel. These adapters extend the height of the Densité-2 devices so that they will fit into the slots of the 3 RU
Densité-3 frame.

Card adapter:

There are 3 different types of adapters available,
depending on the Densité 2 card geometry, so be
sure to order the adapter designed to fit the FIO­1901-TT card:

Densité 3 – EXT A
Install the adapter on the FIO-1901-TT as follows:

1. Fit the top edge of the card into the holding
slot along the bottom edge of the adapter.

2. Align the holes in the top of the card with the
holes on the adapter, and secure them
together with the two provided screws and
lock washers, as shown in the figure.

GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

Rear adapter:

The FIO-1901-TT-SRP rear panel requires the following adapter for use in a Densité-3 frame:
DENSITE SRP-3RU

Installing the adapter and connector panel

Install the adapter and the rear panel as follows:

1. Position the adapter at the top of the empty

slot on the rear of the frame.

2. Use the captive screw in the adapter to

fasten it securely in position.

3. Slip the top of the rear panel into the slot at

the bottom of the adapter, and secure it to the
frame using the captive screw at the bottom of
the panel.

Installing the card

Once the rear connector panel has been installed,
insert the FIO-1901-TT card with attached adapter
as follows:

1. Open the front panel of the Densité-3 frame.

2. Slide the FIO-1901-TT card into the slot with

the swivel handle at the top, and push gently
on the handle to seat the connectors.

3. Close the front panel of the frame.
