Cleaning fiber-optic connectors

WARNING

Never clean an optical connector attached to a fiber that is carrying light.

Particles of foreign matter on the tip of a ferrule can have a disabling effect on fiber-optic transmission. Fiber-optic connectors need to be cleaned every time they are mated and unmated; it is essential that fiber-optic users develop the necessary discipline to always clean the connectors before they are mated.

Use a commerially available cleaning kit specifically designed for fiber-optic connectors and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

• The connector sections to be cleaned include the tips and sides of ferrules, the interior walls of alignment sleeves, and the interior and exterior of connector shells.

• For plugs, the interior surfaces of alignment sleeves and the tips of ferrules are to be cleaned with a cleaning stick treated with the appropriate fluid. (Cleaning sticks with a slender design are available that allow alignment sleeves to be cleaned without having to detach them.)

• For jacks, it is important to clean both the tips and sides of the completely protruding ferrules.

• Both the male and female connector shells tend to attract dust and metal particles, so it is important to clean both the insides and outsides.

• The fiber end face and ferrule must be absolutely clean before it is inserted into a transmitter or receiver.

• Mate the connector immediately! Don't let the connector lie around and collect dust before mating.

• Air can be used to remove lint or loose dust from the port of a transmitter or receiver to be mated with the connector. Never insert any liquid into the ports.

Base station earthing

Metal strap

VEPE

The rear of the base station power supply unit has two separate screw terminals for protective earth

The protective earth terminal is internally connected to the protective earth conductor of the power cable. In normal circumstances the connection between the protective earth and the video earth should not be broken. If required, the central earth connection wire of the studio can be connected to terminal PE in accordance with VDE regulation 0800/part2.

Only if the studio (or OB van) is equipped with separate protective and video earth systems may the metal strap be removed. Under these circumstances the video earth terminal must be connected to the central functional earth potential (video earth) of the studio. This earth potential should have functional protective and noiseless earth (FPE) qualities as stated in the VDE regulation 0800/part2. A low impedance interconnection of both earth conductors must be provided at the central studio earthing point.

(PE) and video earth (VE). These are normally connected by a metal strap.

1.2.2 Dockable adapter

The dockable principle allows a choice of transmission and thus the greatest flexibility and cost-effective solutions in multiple applications.

1.2.3 Base station

The base station is only 2U high yet offers full broadcast functionality and quality. The low height means that rack space is saved. Its low power consumption and efficient internal cooling eliminate the need for space between adjacent units. Sliding rails are additionally available for easy access to the back panel. The wings on either side of the back panel protect all connectors from damage, including the Fiber connector. The Fiber connector itself can easily be mounted at different angles to suit all mounting requirements.

Chapter 1 - Introduction

1.2.4 Operational controls

• Select PREVIOUS to go back to the menu that you were in before the current one.

The SYSTEM menu above shows the items displayed when you first enter the menu and the other items that are available by scrolling up or down.

Leaving the menu

If you are deep within the menu structure, follow these steps to leave:

• If necessary move the cursor to the left most column.

• Scroll upwards until the cursor points to TOP (this is the main menu).

• Press the rotary/push button or the SELECT button on the OCP. The cursor now points to the Menu off item of the MAIN menu.

• Press the rotary/push button or the SELECT button on the OCP to leave the system menu.

This is the recommended way of leaving the system menu. The menu system disappears after a few seconds when you stop navigating. This delay can be set in the MONITORING > MENU menu. However, when you enter the system menu again you enter at the last position of the cursor and not at the top of main menu. To prevent confusion the next time you enter the system menu, it is advisable to leave the system menu by returning to the main menu (TOP) and selecting MENU OFF.

Making changes

To find out where to change a function, consult “Base station menu” on page 47to find out under which menu group or subgroup the function is located. If the cursor points to an item (and there are no double arrows to indicate a sub-menu) then the item pointed to has a value. The value can be:

• a toggle value (only two values)

• a list value (more than two values)

• an analogue value (variable from 00 to 99)

• or unavailable (---).

If the value is unavailable it cannot be changed. This is indicated by three dashes (---). This can

LDK 4410 + LDK 5420 3G Fiber Transmission System User’s Guide (v1.0) 25

occur, for example, when a function is switched off. The analogue values associated with that function are then unavailable. If there are only two values associated with the function, then

Chapter 2 - Base station

☞

Note

☞

Note

pressing the rotary/push button toggles between these two values. If a value is displayed next to a function that is one of several possible values, then pressing the rotary/push button or the SELECT button on the OCP places the cursor in a list menu indicating the value currently selected. Use the rotary/push button or the SELECT button on the OCP to point to a new value.

Press the rotary/push button or the SELECT button on the OCP to return the cursor to the function list. If an analogue value is displayed next to a function name, then pressing the rotary/push button or the SELECT button on the OCP places the cursor in front of the value and the navigation control is used to change the analogue value. Press the rotary/push button or the SELECT button on the OCP to return the cursor to the function list.

Using Recall File to undo changes

If you make changes to the settings in the menu and you decide not to keep them, use the Recall File function to recall a standard or stored set of values for the parameters. These files are available in the FILES menu.

User levels

The menu items are divided into two user levels. The operator level (O) is default accessible. Menu items with user level Install (I) are only accessible if the menu level is set to Install. To enter the Install level proceed as follows:

1. Enter the menu.

2. Navigate to the MONITORING > MENU > MENU LEVEL item.

3. Set the Menu level to Inst.

The purpose of the user levels is to restrict the set of functions which can be changed by whoever is using the base station. In this way a the danger of the operator accidentally changing critical functions while shooting is reduced.

When accessed from the base station, the user level is set to Install while the user level is set to Operator when accessed from the OCP.

2.4.3 Adjustment procedure for SD timing

☞

Note

☞

Note

The SD output signal can be delayed using the following procedure:

1. Enter the base station menu in service mode:

MONITORING > MENU > MENU LEVEL > INST > SERVICEMODE > EXEC > YES

2. After factory delivery there is a fixed minimum delay between HD and SD outputs:

SDTV > TIMING > COMP

3. Set the SDTV timing to variable:

SDTV > TIMING > VAR

4. Adjust the SD output delay using the following items:

SDTV > TIMING > SYNC SHIFT PIXELS and SHIFT LINES

The adjustment must be carried out for each video mode. The last setting for each mode is memorized.



The CVBS viewing output is a non-standard output and the SD output delay adjustment does not apply to this output.



HD-trilevel sync does not contain 4-field (NTSC) or 8-field (PAL) sequence information and therefore will be random. If this is required black burst reference should be used.
