FC-3G-ETH-D422-SFP Rev. E

1 Product overview

1.1 General

Nevion’s newest addition to the Flashlink Compact series provides a compact and cost efficient
answer to remote production over dark fiber.

The high density chassis is designed to transport multiple video, MADI, IP based audio and
intercom systems, control data and tally over a single fiber.

Its small form factor, low power and light weight makes it ideal for smaller stage boxes that can
be placed close to where they are needed. And its low noise makes it perfect for forwarding
baseband signals to remote production areas where other equipment such as IP switches or
gateways can be too noisy.

With Nevions long haul optical interfaces and low loss optical filters distances above 80 km
can be achieved making the product ideal for optical metro networks.

And combined with the optical couplers, optical switches and electrical change-overs in the
modular Flashlink range improved redundancy mechanisms can be added to the system.

1.2 Optical video converter functionality

An FC-3G-ETH-D422-SFO unit holds four dual channel direction configurable and multi bit­rate optical converter modules providing high performance media conversion for various signal
formats from 1Mbps (depending on SFP) up to 2970Mbps. Each module can transport all SD,
HD and 3G signal formats in addition to DVB-ASI and SMPTE310M. They perform optical
refreshing and signal re-clocking, which is selectable on application. The optical ports are
embedded in video specific non-MSA SFP modules and Nevion’s dual transmitters, dual
receivers and transceivers can be utilized. The open system platform of Nevion Flashlink
system allows easy interoperability with third party fiber optical systems. Each electrical video
port can be selected as input or output thru the Multicon web interface.

1.3 Optical GbE transceiver functionality

An FC-3G-ETH-D422-SFP includes three 1000Base-T to 1000Base-X media converter
modules. These optical modules are based on SFP that makes the optical part exchangeable
in field. The module converts a 1000Mbps Ethernet signal on copper to 1000Mbps optical on
fibre suitable for medium haul applications. The module has one electrical Ethernet port and
one optical fibre transceiver port (receiver fibre connector and transmit fibre connector). Each
fibre link occupy two wavelengths in a CWDM installation.

The solution also supports 100MbE, but the transmitted signal still runs at 1000Mbps. It is
important that both ends of the link is configured to support the same bit rates as auto­negotiation is not transported across the link.

1.4 RS422 and GPI functionality

FC-3G-ETH-D422-SFP includes two D422-MG modules transmitting RS-422 and GPI data
signals via fiber optic cable. The D422-MG module multiplexes up to 8 RS-422 and 16 GPI
inputs into an outgoing optical datastream while at the same time demultiplexing an incoming
optical datastream into 8 RS-422 and 16 GPI outputs.

The optical interface is SFP based and each D422-MG module occupies two wavelength in
an CWDM interface.

The D422-MG modules of FC-3G-ETH-D422-SFP/TX units are interoperable with the stand­alone Flashlink card D-422-MG.
