Scope of this Operation Manual
This is the operation manual for the System HD Fibre Optic Receiver module. It covers the modules ordered
under the following codes:
SHDFRM2WWR4 – Standard Dual Input Receiver with 4 electrical outputs from each
SHDFRM2WWRA – Single WDM Receiver gives 2 channels each with 4 electrical outputs
SHDFRM2WWRB – Single WDM Receiver gives 2 channels each with 4 electrical outputs
SHDFRM2WWR4 Dual 4-Output Receiver, Rear Panel View
SHDFRM2WWRA and SHDFRM2WWRB WDM Receivers, Rear Panel View
MODULE DESCRIPTION
The Dual Channel Optical Receiver receives two
independent optical serial digital bitstreams. Each
channel can receive either a single optical highdefinition serial digital (HD-SDI / SMPTE 292M) or
a single optical standard-definition serial digital
(SD-SDI / SMPTE 259M) bitstream and provides
four identical electrical HDSDI or SDSDI outputs
from each channel.
The inputs are via the SMPTE 292M
recommended SC/PC singlemode fibre optic
connectors situated on a rear panel interface
board. The SC/PC connector is robust and easy to
use, a simple snap-fit into the backplane uniter
enables a reliable connection to be made in a
matter of seconds. The electrical outputs are via
eight 75
Ω=BNC connectors.
Each SDI input signal is fed from the interface
board into an optical receiver on the main board
which converts the optical signal back into the
electrical domain. This electrical SDI signal output
is then amplified and reclocked before being split to
provide four identical coaxial SDI outputs for the
user on the backpanel of the interface board.
(Note: In Async mode the signal is only amplified.)
When used in conjunction with the Optical
Transmitter boards (and depending on the fibre
interconnect used) the sensitivity of the optical
receiver is sufficient to recover a signal transmitted
from up to 20km away.
LEDs mounted at the front of the main board allow
monitoring of the receiver performance. More
detailed performance information can be obtained
via the RollCall interface.
Two rear panel interface board options can be
used in conjunction with the dual channel receiver
main board. A ‘standard’ board accepting two
optical signals in the wavelength range 12001600nm and a ‘WDM filter’ option. The WDM
interface board incorporates an inline optical filter
which will allow two wavelengths (1310/1550nm)
combined on a single fibre to be received. The
WDM filter splits the two input carriers and routes
the 1310nm signal to one receiver and the 1550nm
signal to the other receiver.
WARNING…
THE FRONT PANEL OF THE UNIT MUST NOT
BE OPENED BY THE OPERATOR. ACCESS IS
ONLY PERMITTED TO FULLY QUALIFIED
INSTALLATION ENGINEERS.

Notes…
1. Each dual receiver board has two wideband
optical receiver devices, one for each
channel. Each of these receivers can be
used to recover wavelengths in the range
1.2-1.6µm so can be used for WDM
applications without any device
modification. However, a suitable interface
card must be used.
2. A ‘standard’ interface card for a dual
receiver board will provide four coax
outputs for each of the two separate optical
inputs. If the ‘WDM’ option is fitted, only
one optical input is used as the incoming
optical signal contains both wavelengths
combined together. The two wavelengths
are then split in the WDM demux and
routed to the appropriate receiver where
four coax outputs per wavelength are then
available. Refer to the interface card option
code on page 4 to identify what interface
card has been supplied with the main
receiver board.
3. Codes in the ORDER NUMBER other than
those listed on page 5 will refer to custom
interface card options. Additional
information should have been delivered
with the cards. If further information is
required please contact the factory.

number for that particular rear interface. The solid
“dot” indicates that only a single wavelength can be
presented through the connector. A hollow circle
indicates multiple wavelengths are permissible.

Standard Receiver Inputs
Optical SDI Inputs
Used On : SHDFRM2WWR4
The serial digital optical inputs are connected to
SC/PC single mode panel uniters. This connector
is shown opposite and is labelled
H1 and H10 on
the rear panel. This is a single optical wavelength
interface in these cases.
1. Laser light can be damaging to the eyes.
Optical fibres and Uniters should be
handled with great care.
2. System HD Modules which incorporate
Fibre Optic elements, are designed for use
with Class 1 laser systems only. Ensure
that all inputs do NOT exceed Class 1 as
doing so will impair the safety of the
system and may result in damage to the
equipment.
3. Active fibres should not be handled unless
their source can be positively identified as
not exceeding Class 1 limits.
WDM Optical SDI Input
Used On : SHDFRM2WWRA
SHDFRM2WWRB
The serial digital optical input with 2 WDM
channels is connected to a SC/PC single mode
panel uniter. This connector is shown opposite and
is labelled H1 on the rear panel. This is a dual
optical wavelength interface in these cases.
Notes…
1. Optical uniters have plastic covers to prevent
the ingress of dust. These covers should only
be removed when connecting optical fibres. A
uniter should never be left open without a
cover or a fibre connector
2. The ends of optical fibres should be cleaned
with a liquid fibre cleaner, using a cotton bud,
to ensure that there is no dust present, before
they are plugged in (the uniter is polarised).
3. Observe the warning about not viewing live
optical sources.

The four serial digital electrical outputs are
available from four 75
Ω BNC connectors for each
channel. The same digital bitstream is provided by
all four connectors. This bitstream is a reclocked
version of the optical signal provided to the optical
receiver. (Note: In Async mode the bitstream is not
reclocked.) These electrical outputs are labelled as
H2, H3, H4, and H5 for receiver 1 and H6, H7, H8,
and
H9 for receiver 2. The annotations on the rear
panel are illustrated in the diagram opposite.

Channel Changeover - The ‘changeover’
option allows the output of optical receiver 1 to
be routed to the reclocker on channel 2
providing a simple signal routing capability or
the ability to provide a redundant signal path
for critical signals. The table shows the various
options available to the user to enable the
changeover function and then facilitate the
actual routing of the channel 1 signal to the
channel 2 outputs. The ‘changeover’ function
can be ‘enabled’ via manual
or remote control
switches. Note: The manual control switches
are the overall master controls for this function.
