STEP 4: Connect your SDIXtreme 3G+ Transmitter to the HDX576

using multi-mode fiber optic cables. Connect the Transmitter’s
Fiber OUT to the Receive Port on any SFP of the Upper Card Cage.

If using RS422, a second, back-channel Fiber IN to the Transmitter
is required and should be connected to the same numbered Upper
Card Cage Transmit Port.

STEP 5: Install the provided +5VDC power supply into the

SDIXtreme 3G+ Transmitter and plug it into a standard AC source.

Ensure that the ACTIVE LED on the Transmitter comes on. The
ACTIVE LED will blink if no SDI input is present.

STEP 6: Connect your 3G, SD or HD SDI video source to the

SDIXtreme 3G+ Transmitter’s IN Port. A local Monitor or other

viewing device may be connected to the Transmitter’s LOOP OUT

port. If required, connect the Video Source’s RS422 port to the
Transmitter’s RS422 Port, located directly below the Power

connector.
