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! Do not let the connector lie around and collect dust
before mating.

position in the menu. Use the Up and Down buttons to move the cursor up and down.
3.4.2 Finding your way
Use the navigation buttons to move the cursor through the menu items. If a double arrow (>>)
is visible, then pressing the Select button brings you one level lower in the menu system. Only
five items are visible in each menu. Scroll up or down to see more items.
When you first enter a menu (other than the main menu) the cursor is positioned next to the
first item. The TOP and PREVIOUS entries are not immediately visible but are located above
the first item. Use the control to scroll up to them.

3.4.3 Leaving the menu
If you are deep within the menu structure, follow these steps to leave:
• If necessary move the cursor to the left column.
• Scroll upwards until the cursor points to TOP (this is the main menu).
• Press the Select button; the cursor now points to the Menu Off item of the Main menu.
• Press the Select button to leave the 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.
However, when you enter the 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.
Chapter 3 - Configuration
3.4.4 Making changes
To find out where to change a function, consult “XCU menu reference” on page 63 to 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, for example Yes or No)
• a list value (more than two values)
• an analog 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
occur, for example, when a function is switched off. The analog values associated with that
function are then unavailable. If there are only two values associated with the function, then
pressing the Select 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 Select button places the
cursor in a list menu indicating the value currently selected. Use the Up and Down buttons to
point to a new value. Press the Select button to return the cursor to the function list. If an
analog value is displayed next to a function name, pressing the Select button places the cursor
in front of the value and the navigation control is used to change the analog value. Press the
Select button to return the cursor to the function list.
3.4.5 User levels
There are four user levels: user 0, user 1, user 2 and user 3. The purpose of the user levels is to
restrict the set of functions which can be changed by whoever is operating the unit. User level
0 is a special protection level which locks most of the operational controls of the camera. Use
this level to ensure that a camera that has been set-up is not tampered with. User level 0 is not
normally used for operational purposes as it is too restrictive for normal circumstances. The
recommended minimum user level is 1. For full control set the level to 3. When you switch off
the power, the access rights that were obtained by the use of the PIN code are disabled and
the camera starts at the assigned user level when switched on again.

3.5 Setting up intercom
☞
Note
☞
Note
The studio camera systems offer extensive intercom facilities between camera operator (plus
tracker) and XCU (studio). To help you set up and operate the intercom system, the following
controls are available:
• XCU menu system
• Camera head menu system
• Camera rear panel
• Camera head switches
When setting up a system it is more convenient to use an OCP 400 or Camera Connect to set
your preferences in both the XCU and camera head menus.
Intercom settings are stored in the non-volatile memory of the cradle so they keep tied to the
rack position along with the intercom wiring.
Chapter 3 - Configuration
3.5.1 Studio interface setup
Intercom source selection
In the AUDIO/INTERCOM > INTERCOM menu, use SOURCE to select the source for the
intercom system (valid for all channels).
• Analog — intercom channels come from the 15-pin SubD XCU intercom connector at the
back panel of the XCU. Refer to
• Ext1 — intercom channels come from embedded SDI audio of external video input 1
(EXT1).
The AUD2IP and IP2AUD mapping structure below is used for embedding the audio/
intercom signals into the ST2022-6 Main video and monitoring stream and for deembedding of the Ext1 ST2022-6 input stream:

Note
☞
Note
The isolate function disconnects the XCU intercom from the studio system.
Levels
In the four-wire mode the menu gives you a choice of either a 0 dB or a +6 dB signal level for
each intercom channel. In the two-wire mode this level is always set to 0 dB.
You can also set sidetone (feedback) volume levels for both Engineering and Production
channels in this menu.
3.6 Timing
3.6.1 Synchronization
To synchronize the XCU apply a valid reference (HD Tri-Level sync or SD Black Burst) signal to
the REF IN BNC connector at the back panel.
Chapter 3 - Configuration
3.6.2 Shifting output signals
All main HD Video, SD and monitoring output signals coming from the XCU are in phase. Still,
due to different cable lengths or other delays, the signals from different XCUs can be out of
phase when they are connected to a video switcher or router.
This variation in phase can be compensated for in the XCU by using horizontal phase (H-phase)
adjustment. Go the INSTALL > TIMING menu and adjust the H-PHASE item.
The phase shift can be further adjusted in the INSTALL > TIMING > SHIFT menu. Use the
PIXELS and LINES items to shift the signals over one or more pixels and one or more lines,
respecively. The maximum shift is one frame.
Service access is needed to access the Shift Pixel and Lines items.

4.4 IP Redundancy
4.4.1 Introduction
Redundancy provides an alternative transmission route for video streams in case of a (partial)
network failure or when maintenance needs to be carried out on (a part of) the network
without interrupting operation.
The XCU supports IP Redundancy for the Media Network. The Media Network bay has two
ports (B1 and B2) that are used for redundant media transport over IP networks.
The XCU offers redundant video, audio and intercom outgoing streams from the unit to a
redundant media network (primary and secondary network).
Transmission redundancy is achieved by stream duplication. This means that the RTP (Real
Time Protocol) stream is duplicated and only the MAC addresses, IP addresses and UDP port
numbers are different for the redundant stream.
Note that the following streams are excluded from redundant operation:
• All incoming streams from the network to the XCU (External video, Teleprompter video
and audio/intercom)
Chapter 4 - Media Network configuration
• PTP locking
• C2IP and AMWA-NMOS

redundancy for video and audio streams.

Note
Setting up local IP addresses
Set up the local IP and Port address for Ports A and B
Make sure that Ports A and B are set up to use separate subnets.
Enabling streams
For each of the following outgoing streams, IP Redundancy can be individually enabled or
disabled. When enabled, the stream is duplicated on the secondary stream on Port B:
• Main video — click the IP Main A tab, click the camera system and set Enabled to Port
A+B or click the IP Main B tab, click the camera system and set Enabled to Port A+B.
• Monitoring video — click the IP Mon\Live tab, click the camera system and set Enabled to
Port A+B under Monitoring video.
Chapter 4 - Media Network configuration
• Live video — click the IP Mon\Live tab, click the camera system and set Enabled to Port
A+B under Live video.
• AES67 audio — click IP Audio tab, click the camera system and set Enabled to Port A+B.
• Intercom audio — click the IP Intercom tab, click the camera system and set Enabled to
Port A+B.
Note about PTP locking
IP redundancy for PTP is not available so in case of a network failure of the primary network, a
SMPTE 2022-7 (Seamless Protection Switching) compatible receiver will switch seamlessly to
the secondary stream of the XCU. However, as PTP locking is only available on the primary
network, the XCU loses its PTP connection to the grandmaster.
When the primary network operation is restored the SMPTE 2022-7 receiver would seamlessly
switch back to the primary network stream. After a few seconds the XCU locks again to the
PTP grand master, causing a short interruption in the primary stream at the receiver.
To prevent this interruption you can use Reference input (HD Tri-Level or SD Black Burst) as the
reference source instead of PTP.
4.4.4 Media Network diagnostics
Used bitrate can be viewed in the DIAGNOSTICS > MEDIA NETWORK > OUTGOING STREAMS
menu for all individual ports.
The locked status for each (enabled) primary and/or secondary IP stream can be monitored in
the DIAGNOSTICS > MEDIA NETWORK > OUTGOING STREAMS menu,. Select the item of the
stream (Main video, Live video, Monitoring video, Audio and Intercom) to view its locked
status.
4.4.5 Incoming audio/intercom
IP Redundancy does noet support the reception of redundant audio/intercom (incoming)
streams.

send this to the XCU on the primary Media network. This could be feasible if the audio/
intercom network is separated from the video network. In this case the intercom input source
should be set to "Ext1".
4.5 Test example
Below is a simple test configuration to connect two XCUs (cross-linked). All IP settings are in
unicast, no network switch is used. For test purposes, short length copper twisted pair cabling
can be used.

4.6 IP Timing
A separate delay is available for the main video signal from the camera to the Media Network
to allow the receiver of the stream to align the incoming IP stream to the reference video. A
built-in, fixed delay aligns the IP streams roughly to reference input for each frame rate but a
custom delay allows to align the received IP stream at the destination node.
Below are schematic diagrams of the timing and delay chains in the XCU for different
situations:
4.6.1 Timing for 2K single speed video modes
In the XCU menu, go the INSTALL > TIMING menu and use the IP VIDEO OUT function to set
the delay between -5000 μs and +5000 μs.

Link indicator
This green LED reflects the status of the physical Ethernet connection between the XCU and
the device at the other end of the Ethernet cable (typically a switch). It lights when the
following conditions are met:
– both devices are powered up;
– both devices have enabled their Ethernet ports;
– Ethernet cable is wired correctly and inserted securely at both ends and
– both devices agreed on Ethernet settings (baud rate, and full/half duplex).
Activity indicator
This green indicator flashes continuously when data is being exchanged.
Before you remove or insert an SFP+ module, read the safety information in the “Fiber-optic
transmission units” on page 8 of this guide.
XCU UXF Fiber Series XF Transmission Fiber Base Station User’s Guide (v1.3) 89
Chapter 7 - Connectors and signals
Caution
Caution
It is recommended that you do not insert or remove an SFP+ module with (fiber-optic) cables
attached because of the potential of damaging the cable, the connector, or the optical
interfaces inside the SFP+ module. Disconnect all cables before removing or inserting an SFP+
module.
SFP+ modules use different latching methods to insert and remove the module into and from a
port. Refer to the SFP+ manufacturer’s information about the proper inserting and removal
procedure for your specific type of module.
