Overview

Description

The 6G-SDI Extender over Fiber Optic with Return Channel is a unique solution from MuxLab for extending SDI cameras or other SDI sources up to 4K resolutions at 30Hz to a distance of up to 1300ft (400m) using OM4 multi-mode fiber (model 500734), 33,000ft (10km) using single-mode fiber (model 500734-SM10), 132,000ft (40km) using single-mode fiber (model 500734-SM40), and 264,000ft (80km) using single-mode fiber (model 500734SM80).

The product supports multichannel transmission, and can simultaneously transmit up to 9Gbps of data throughput over the fiber link, and allows for versatile combinations of sources, including 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI and HD-SDI. The unit supports simultaneous transmission of mixed signals such as one 6G-SDI signal + one 3G-SDI, or three 3G-SDI signals, or two 3G-SDI signals + two HD-SDI signals, and many other combinations up to 9Gbps. The device supports one input and one output SDI port, plus three directional SDI ports that can be individually configured as input or output, or set to automatic direction detection. This flexibility allows for up to four source ports and one return channel, or up to one source port and four return channels, or anything in between. The SDI return channel may be used for AV monitoring and talk-back, while the RS232 pass-through supports return of tally light, camera control unit (CCU) and control of end devices.

Figure 5 highlights one example of the port direction combinations that are possible, but other combinations are also possible.

Table 4 below shows the combination of signals that can be transmitted/received over the fiber link, based on the Figure 5 example, and based on the number of ports used for transmission/reception in a given direction. The total bandwidth available is 9Gbps, so varying combinations of transmission/reception rates totaling 9Gbps are possible.

Simplex Connection:

If transmission is only required in one direction, this device can be connected with a single fiber in a simplex arrangement as indicated in the following steps.

1. While looking at the unit from the top, connect the single

fiber cable to the Transmitter right most LC connector as shown below.

2. While looking at the unit from the top, connect the opposite

end of the fiber cable to the Receiver left most LC connector as shown below.

Figure 6 Connecting the Fiber Cable

3. The unused LC connector on both the Transmitter and

Receiver must be protected from dust. This can easily be accomplished by cutting the protective rubber plug in half and inserting the plug into the unused LC connectors.

Figure 7 Plug Unused Fiber Port

Important note: The serial port is not available when only using a

single fiber cable in a simplex arrangement.

Installation & Power-up Procedure

In order to install the product, please follow the steps below:

1. First, install the Transmitter near the SDI signal

source equipment and Return Channel sink (destination) equipment. Attach the unit via the mounting holes or by other appropriate means.

2. Transmitter: Follow the procedure in section 5 (Unit

Control and Status) to individually configure Ports B, C & D of the Transmitter as either Inputs, Outputs, or as Auto-detect (to automatically detect the transmission direction). Note that Auto-detect is the default setting.

3. Install the Receiver near the SDI signal sink

(destination) equipment and Return Channel source equipment. Attach the unit via the mounting holes or by other appropriate means.

4. Receiver: Follow the procedure in section 5 (Unit

Control and Status) to individually configure Ports B, C & D of the Receiver as either Inputs, Outputs, or as Auto-detect (to automatically detect the transmission direction). Note that Auto-detect is the default setting. Make sure that a given Transmitter Port set as an Input is set as an Output on the Receiver, and vice versa.

5. Connect the necessary number of SDI Compatible

75Ω Coax cables in order to carry the video/audio signal. Connect the source equipment to the Transmitter ports configured as SDI Inputs, and connect the Return Channel sink (destination) equipment to the Transmitter ports configured as

Page 19

SDI Outputs. Always start by connecting the first cable to the BNC A, then B and so on.

6. Once the Transmitter is installed and connected with

the SDI coax cables, then connect and run the fiber optic cable from the Transmitter to the Receiver unit, using either multimode or singlemode fiber depending on the 6G-SDI Extender model being installed. Respect the distance specification listed on Table 1.

7. After hooking up the fiber optic cable to the SFP+

port on the Receiver, proceed to connect the SDI coax cables from the Receiver to the destination device (e.g.: Recorder, Monitor, Mixer, Capture card, etc.). Connect the sink (destination) equipment to the Receiver ports configured as SDI Outputs, and connect the Return Channel source equipment to the Transmitter ports configured as SDI Inputs.

8. Once all the cabling is installed, next plug the

12VDC wall-mount power supplies to both the Transmitter and Receiver.

9. Each unit will power up and auto-initialize.

10. Next the fiber link will sync, and the link indicator

on each unit will blink after the negotiation process has successfully completed.

11. If the source is generating a video signal at the

Transmitter end, then the Receiver will output the same signal which can be terminated on a Recorder, Monitor, Mixer, Capture card, etc.

USB Driver Setup

When interfacing a MuxLab device with the USB port on Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10 operating systems, a driver setup file will be required. For Linux and Mac OS X operating systems, no driver is necessary.

To install the USB serial driver, download the SC000032-A (or later version) USB to serial driver file from the MuxLab website and save it to the local hard drive. NOTE: If the downloaded file is compressed, it will need to be uncompressed before it may be utilized.

Plug the USB cable between the MuxLab device and the PC, and power up the device. The Found New

Hardware wizard will open (see Figure 8). Select Locate and install driver software (recommended).

Figure 8 Found New Hardware Wizard

Page 26

A new dialog box will open (see Figure 9). Select Browse my computer for driver software (advanced).
