3 Overview

The 613T converts 3G-SDI, HD-SDI and DVB-ASI

1

The 613T and 613R transmitter/receiver pair:

digital video signals to
optical signals. It transmits them over fiber optic cable (single mode as well as
multi-mode) to the 613R that decodes the optical signals back to electrical
3G-SDI, HD-SDI and DVB-ASI digital video signals.

• Supports up to 3G-SDI digital video signals over fiber optic cable

• Supports 1080p, 3G-SDI format

• Is designed to transport one-channel SMPTE-424M 3G-SDI, SMPTE

292M HD-SDI or SMPTE-259M serial digital video signal over long
distance through either single-mode or multi-mode optical fiber

• Features signal equalizing and re-clocking

• Has a transmission range of up to 19 miles (30 km) at 3Gbps

• Handles SDI, DVB-ASI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI

• Includes a latch locking mechanism for the power supply to prevent the

power from disconnecting due to misuse

• Includes power and status blue LEDs

• Does not require any special memory size, CPU speed and chipsets, when

using a computer

Both the 613T and 613R come in a very small standalone, metal die-cast
enclosure suitable for rugged applications.

To achieve the best performance:

• Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise­levels (often associated with low quality cables)

• Position your Kramer 613R and 613T away from moisture, excessive

sunlight and dust

• Be sure that the fiber optic cables are always stored and used away from

liquid or dirt

3.1 Powering the 613T and the 613R

Your 613T/613R pair comes with two 5V DC power adapters. Both units
need to be connected to their external power adapter.

5 Using the 3G-SDI Mini Optical Set

This section describes how to:

• Connect the detachable optical 3G-SDI Mini Optical Transmitter/ Receiver

(see section 5.1)

• Avoid pitfalls when using the 613T and 613R (see section 5.2)

5.1 Connecting the 3G-SDI Mini Optical Transmitter/Receiver Set

To connect the 613T 3G-SDI Mini Optical transmitter with the 613R 3G-SDI
Mini Optical Receiver, as the example in Figure 2 illustrates, do the following:

1. Connect the BNC connector of the SDI Source (for example, a camera)

directly1 to the 613T BNC connector.

2. Plug the 5V power adapters to the transmitter and to the receiver, and

connect the adapters to the mains electricity.
The blue LED lights.

3. Connect the 613R BNC connector directly1 to the BNC connector of the

display device.

4. Remove the protective cover from the optic fiber ST connector on the

613T and connect to the fiber optic cable2

5. Remove the protective cover from the optic fiber ST connector on the

613R and connect to the other side of the fiber optic cable.

6. Turn ON the power on the source and the display devices.

1 Avoid using any intermediate cable which may result in signal quality deterioration

2 Use glass single-mode fiber optic cable with 1310, 1550nm bandwidth on ST connectors. You can also use multi-mode

fiber optic cable

5.2 Avoiding Pitfalls using the 613T and 613R

If any of these problems occur, we recommend the following solutions:

If the display device shows only a black screen:

• Make sure that all the AC and DC plugs and jacks used by the external

power supplies are firmly connected

• Be sure that the BNC connectors are firmly plugged into the SDI source and

the display devices, and be sure that the transmitter and receiver modules are
correctly plugged into the source and SDI display devices, respectively

• Check if the SDI source and display are powered ON and properly booted

• Reset the system by unplugging and then replugging the transmitter SDI

port or receiver SDI port and then reboot the system

If the picture on the screen appears distorted or displays noise, check the
quality of the SDI source and the length of the optical fiber cable.

Be sure that the fiber optic cables are always stored and used away from

liquid or dirt
