About TelePort 3G
About the TelePort 3G System
About the TelePort 3G System
The TelePort is a CWDM multiplexer. It takes in optical signals within the 1200nm to
1670nm optical window, receives those signals, does an optical to electrical conversion retransmits them (electrical to optical) onto the proper wavelengths and then multiplexes
them using a CWDM optical multiplexer onto one fiber. This results in up to 16 signals per
fiber.
The TelePort is available in three versions:
• Version 1: supports 16 channels of transmission over a single fiber and pairs with a 16
channel receiver at the other end of the fiber link.
• Version 2: transmits eight channels and receives eight channels over two fibers (one
fiber for each direction) and pairs with an identical model at the other end.
• Version 3: sends eight signals and receives eight signals, but uses only one fiber and
requires different models for each end of the link.
In all models, singlemode fiber is required.
The optical signal that you supply to the TelePort must be digital and must be 3 Gb/sec or
less. There is no requirement that this optical signal originate from a Grass Valley product.
The TelePort 3G provides LEDs to indicate the presence of a Fiber optic signal at each front
panel ST Fiber Connector. The TelePort 3G features an integrated optical power meter for
monitoring received optical power and other system parameters.
The TelePort 3G also features dual 12-18 VDC power inputs for electrical redundancy.
In Figure 1-1, a 16 Channel TelePort 3G Transmitter is connected to a 16 Channel TelePort
3G Receiver. Half of the total capacity connects to a remote set of production cameras to
the central control center. The open eight channels can be used for audio or data feeds, as
well as video monitoring feeds.

Fiber Cable Overview
Fiber Optics and Fiber Optic Cable are the core technologies at the heart of the TelePort 3G
system. The ability to multiplex and de-multiplex multiple ranges of fiber optic signals
carrying SDI, Audio, and Data is what enables the TelePort 3G. The specific theory and
operation of Fiber Optics is beyond the scope of this document.

Safety and Fiber Optic Systems
Unpacking the TelePort 3G
Please consult your packing slip and purchase order to ensure that you have received all of
the expected components.
Inspect all components for scratches and other mechanical damage, and inspect the
electrical connectors for bent or damaged pins and latches. Report any missing or
damaged components to Grass Valley (see Product Returns on page 5).
Leave the protective caps on the optical connectors whenever the fiber is disconnected.
Optical Fiber Safety
Never look directly into the end of the optic fiber while either end of the system is
operating.
This TelePort 3G contains CDRH Class 1 laser devices. To prevent damaging your eyes,
always avoid looking directly at, or staring into, the laser light located on an optical
connector or on the end of a fiber.
Infrared radiation is produced at the fiber connection port on the rear of the TX units and at
the end of any un-terminated optical fibers that are attached to this port. Avoid any direct
exposure to the light that comes from these sources.
Do not power up the unit when no fiber connector is attached to the fiber port.
There are no manual adjustments to be made inside the TelePort 3G. Do not attemptto
perform any type of service to this instrument other than any as instructed this User Guide.
Refer all servicing to Grass Valley, a Belden Brand.
Always use cable connector caps when the cables are not connected. This protects the
connector from damage and the unlikely event of exposure to an operating optical link.
Keeping the caps in place when the connectors are not in use will prevent dirt and dust
from entering the connector and degrading the performance of the optical link.
FCC Part A Manual Notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency (RF) energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with this User Guide, it may cause harmful interference to
radio communications.

Product Returns
In the unlikely event of damage to your TelePort 3G during shipping or delivery please note
the damage with the delivery or shipping service and document the packaging and
product where you see damage. If any component does not work correctly out of the box
please contact Grass Valley support (see Contact Us on page 33).
If the problem cannot be remedied through a service telephone call,you will receive an
RMA number (Return of Merchandise Authorization). Please note this RMA number inside
and outside of all shipping boxes and on all documentation provided with the items to be
returned.
