!
2 Getting Started
We recommend that you:
Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging
materials for possible future shipment
Review the contents of this user manual
2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
Position your Kramer 613T, 613R away from moisture, excessive sunlight
and dust

2.2 Safety Instructions
2.3 Recycling Kramer Products
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC
aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by
requiring it to be collected and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive,
Kramer Electronics has made arrangements with the European Advanced
Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and
recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on arrival at the EARN
facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular country
go to our recycling pages at http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/recycling/.

613T, 613R - Overview
3 Overview
The 613T converts 3G-SDI, HD-SDI and DVB-ASI (Digital Video Broadcasting –
Asynchronous Serial Interface) digital video signals to optical signals. It transmits
them over single mode fiber optic cable to the 613R that decodes the optical
signals back to electrical 3G-SDI, HD-SDI and DVB-ASI digital video signals.
The 613T and 613R transmitter/receiver pair:
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 single-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.

3.2 Powering the 613T, 613R
Your 613T/613R pair comes with two 5V DC power adapters. Both units need to
be connected to their external power adapter. Figure 2 illustrates the power
connector pinout:

4 Using the 3G-SDI Mini Optical Set
This section describes how to:
Connect the detachable optical 3G-SDI Mini Optical Transmitter/ Receiver
(see Section 4.1)
Avoid pitfalls when using the 613T and 613R (see Section 4.2)
4.1 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 1 illustrates, do the following:
1. Connect the BNC connector of the SDI Source (for example, a camera)
directly to the 613T BNC connector.
Avoid using any intermediate cable which may result in signal quality deterioration.
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 directly 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 cable.
Use glass single-mode fiber optic cable with 1310, 1550nm bandwidth on ST
connectors.
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.

Caution:
Be sure that the fiber optic cables are always stored
and used away from liquid or dirt
!
4.2 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.
