INTRODUCTION
The HD1500 / HD-3000 Series of Stand-alone Serial Digital Interface (SDI) Video
Fiber Optic Transport Systems for standard and high definition DTV have been designed to
ease the engineering and financial difficulties associated with the migration to DTV. The
system will transport digital signals from 143 Mbps up to 1.485 or 2.970
supported standards include SMPTE 259M-C, SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 4241 SDI, working at
270 Mbps, 1.495 Gbps and 2.9701 Gbps, and compatible with DVB/ASI, and SMPTE 297M
interfaces at the defined rates. The units include a Digital Re-clocking DA and Repeater for
the SMPTE SDI standards mentioned above. For other standards, the signal is passed thru
without reclocking. For the electrical SDI interfaces, if you need to go beyond the 350-meter
limit, the HD1500 / HD3000 can be used to repeat and re-clock the signal multiple times with
minimum loss or jitter. The units include automatic cable equalization based on the data rate
detected. Applications include transmission links for high definition or digital television, studio
to transmitter; studio-to-studio, studio to CATV head-end and backhaul feeds from special
events. The transmit and receive units are available in portable or stand-alone and modular
configurations ideal for both field and studio applications.

FEATURES and OPERATION
TRANSMITTER, HD-1500-FTX or HD-3000-FTX
The transmitter module, designated by model number HD-1500-FTX or HD-3000-FTX,
includes a fiber output ST or SC connector and a serial digital video 75 Ohm input BNC
connector. The unit also includes a re-clocked 75 Ohm serial video output BNC connector
for a loop-through connection. The front of the module displays RATE LEDs for 270 Mbps,
1.485 Gbps, or 2.9701 Gbps, Carrier Detect LED and Power LEDs that indicate the status of
the unit.
The rate LEDs indicate that a valid SMPTE rate is locked by the re-clocker PLL. The
Carrier LED indicates that a signal has been applied to the input. Carrier Detect is sensitive
to digital carriers from 19Mbps and above.
The Loop-through SDI output is an active regenerated version of the signal in the
transmitter SDI input that can be used to feed other transmitters or SDI complaint equipment.
RECEIVER, HD-1500-FRX or HD-3000-FRX
The receiver module, designated by model number HD-1500-FRX or HD-3000-FRX,
includes a fiber input with ST or SC connector, and two re-clocked serial digital video 75Ohm output BNC connectors. The front panel includes LEDs with the same functionality as
the transmitter, described above with the exception of Carrier Detect that is a PLL Lock
indicator for the fiber signal.

Instruction Manual, HD-1500 / HD-3000 Series FEATURES and OPERATION 2
POWER REQUIREMENTS
The HD1500 / HD3000 Series operates from 110 or 220 VAC with the appropriate
wall-mount power supply or 5 to 24 VDC @ 1A using a coaxial type connector (sleeve
ground) on the rear panel labeled POWER. The wall-mount power supply should provide a
minimum of 5V DC at 1 amp. If desired, the units could be powered from a battery pack or
automotive battery instead of the wall unit.
INSTALLATION
The installation and start up of the HD1500 /HD3000 Series do not have special
requirements. No special sequence must be followed to connect and start up the unit. RG59
or other 75 Ohms Coax cable must be used for the SDI inputs and outputs and single mode
fiber with the selected proper connectors must be used for the fiber link. Optionally,
multimode fiber can be used with a shift patch on the transmitter, though significant reduced
range performance is expected for this scenario. The HD1500 / HD3000 Series come
standard as stand-alone units. An optional rack-mounting kit is available to mount up to 6
units in a 1 Rack-unit or 1 ¾” by 19” rack space. The part number is –RM6.
NON STANDARD SETTING
The HD1500 / HD3000 series comes configured to satisfy the needs of most users.
This includes automatic cable equalization and auto mute for SMPTE HD and SD signals and
support for DVB/ASI. However, it is possible to pass other non SMPTE rates and digital
signals by setting a jumper in the FTX and FRX units. It is possible that SMPTE 310 or
19.4Mbps will not operate in automatic mode. In this case please change jumpers as
suggested below.
The FTX unit uses the 3 pin jumper J2, 1-2 setting by default to auto mute the link
when there is not a valid signal in the input, like noise from any external source. The default
optic of this link is designed for SMPTE rates over 143 Mbps; however the link can support a
wider range with alternative optics. The J2 Jumper must be set to 2-3 for passing signals
slower than 20 Mbps. Similarly to the FTX, the FRX unit has the jumper J5 placed by default
to auto mute when no signal or non SMPTE rates are detected.
Transmitter –FTX Jumper J2:
Short 1-2 or closest positition to BNC for Auto Mute
Transmitter –FTX Jumper J2:
Short 2-3 or positition away from BNC for SMPTE 310, 20Mbps or less
Receiver –FRX Jumper J5:
Short for Auto Mute
Receiver –FRX Jumper J5:
Open for SMPTE 310, 20Mbps or less
