Introduction
The Sierra Video OG-RTR HD/SDI Video matrix module offers a high performance
solution to your video needs. The modules can be removed or re-inserted with power to
the frame either on or off.
The module provides equalization and re-clocking at all SMPTE SD-HD video standard
data rates SMPTE-259M,292,424M (270 Mb/s, 1.485 Gb/s and 2.97 Gb/s.) User
definable for the bypass of re-clocking and be able to accommodate ASI/DVB signals on
the outputs. The OG-RTR accommodates ASI/DVB signals, on all outputs (noninverting).
The OG-RTR-10 and OG-RTR-20 rear modules fit in the 10 and 20 slot Open Gear frame
and module settings can be monitored via the Open Gear DashBoard software program.
The frames provide low voltage DC input to each module.

Warnings & Safety Regulations
The information in the following section provides important warnings and safety
guidelines for both the operator and service personnel. Specific warnings and cautions
may be found throughout this manual. Please read and follow the important safety
precautions noting especially those instructions relating to risk of fire, electrical shock and
injury to persons.
Any instructions in this manual that require opening the equipment cover or enclosure are
intended for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, do not perform any servicing other than what is contained in the operating
instructions unless you are qualified.
Warnings
Heed all warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions.
Disconnect AC power before installing any options.
Do not use this product in or near water.
This product is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power
cord. To avoid electrical shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired
receptacle before connecting inputs and outputs.
Cautions
Route power cords and other cables so that they are not likely to be
damaged, or create a hazard.
Dangerous voltages exist at several points in this product. To avoid personal
injury, do not touch unsafe connections and components when the power is
on.
To avoid fire hazard, use only the specified type, correct voltage, and
current rating of fuse. Always refer fuse replacement to qualified service
personnel.
Have qualified personnel perform safety checks after any completed service
This is an FCC class A product. In a domestic environment, this product
may cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required to take
necessary measures.
Use the proper AC voltage to supply power to the switcher. When installing
equipment, do not attach the power cord to building surfaces.
To prevent damage to equipment when replacing fuses, locate and correct
trouble that caused the fuse to blow before applying power.
Use only the recommended interconnect cables to connect the switcher to
other frames.
Follow static precautions at all times when handling the equipment.
Leave the side, top, and bottom of the frame clear for air convection cooling
and to allow room for cabling. Slot and openings in the frame are provided
for ventilation and should not be blocked.
Only an authorized Sierra Video technician should service the switchers.
Any user who makes changes or modifications to the unit without the
expressed approval of the Sierra Video will void the warranty.

EMC Regulatory Notices
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Part 15 Information: This device complies
with Part 15 of the FCC standard rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference
This device must accept any interference received including interference that may cause
undesirable operations.
Delivery Damage Inspection
Carefully inspect the frame and exterior components to be sure that there has been no
shipping damage. Make sure all modules are seated correctly and have not detached
during shipment.
Factors Affecting Quality of Results
There are many factors affecting the quality of results when signals are transmitted from
a source to a destination.
OG-RTR
Signal cables — Use only the best quality cables to avoid interference and
degraded signal quality and elevated noise levels.
Sockets and connectors of the sources and destinations — Use only the
highest quality, since "zero ohm" connection resistance is the target.
Connectors should also match the required impedance (75 ohm in
video) to minimize return loss.
Amplifying circuitry — Must have quality performance when the desired
end result is high linearity, low distortion, and low noise.
Distance between sources and destinations — Plays a major role in the final
result. For long distances (over 15 meters) between sources and
destinations, special measures should be taken to avoid high frequency
cable losses. These measures include using higher quality cables and/or
adding line cable equalizing amplifiers.
Interference from neighboring electrical appliances — These can have an
adverse affect on signal quality. Balanced audio lines are less prone to
interference, but unbalanced audio should be installed away from any
main power lines, electric motors, transmitters, etc. even when the
cables are shielded.
CAUTION!
Only an authorized Sierra Video technician can service these products. Any user who
makes changes or modifications to the unit without the expressed approval of the
manufacturer will void the warranty

Installation
Introduction
Installation procedures are similar for all modules covered under this manual. Exceptions,
if any, have been noted in each of the following paragraphs.
Module Mounting
Carefully inspect the module to ensure that there has been no shipping damage. Make
sure all shipping material is removed from the module and frame.
Chapter
2
Install the RTR and rear module in any available slot in the frame with the ejector tab
towards the bottom. Lock the module in place with the ejector tab.
Rear I/O Panel
OG-RTR-10 and OG-RTR-20
The 10 slot frame uses the I/O module: OG-RTR-10. The 20 slot frame uses the OGRTR-20. These rear modules are used for all models of the OG-RTR module.

Video Connections
OG-RTR-10/20
Video system interconnects are made by using 75 ohm transmissi on lines (coax cable).
The device driving the line has a “source” impedance of 75 ohms, the cable has a 75
ohm impedance and the end of the interconnect is internally terminated with 75 ohms.
The accuracy of the termination affects signal level. Use either a 1% or 0.1% termination.
Unused amplifier positions do not need a termination.
Only the outputs which are used need to be terminated.
Input Equalization
The OG-RTR Series HD/SDI 3G Routing Switchers have adjustable input equalization
settings. The factory default setting for Equalization is ON.
There are two states for the equalization setting - active (ON) or bypassed (OFF).
Adjustment to the input equalization is made via the DashBoard software (see next
section).
Reclocking
The OG-RTR Series HD/SDI 3G Routing Switchers also have adjustable output
reclocking settings. The factory default setting for reclocking is ON (automatic).
factory default setting for reclocking is Automatic.
The reclocking circuit, when in the automatic mode, will automatically detect and lock to
incoming SMPTE SDI data signals.
If a non-SMPTE data rate is detected, the reclocker will automatically enter the bypass
mode in order to pass the signal without reclocking.
There are two states for the Reclocking setting - automatic (ON) or bypassed (OFF).
Adjustment to the output reclocking is made via the DashBoard software (see next
section).
