SDIXtreme

Dual Loop-Out 3G SDI Fiber Optic Extension

The Logical Solution - Dual Serial Digital Interface Extension. The SDIXtreme product series is a compact, broadcast quality, SDI over fi ber extension system.

3G+

The dual system is designed to transmit up to two 3G (2.97 Gb/s) or four SD (270 Mb/s)/HD (1.485 Gb/s) SDI signals with or without embedded audio and data, and is SMPTE 424M, 292M, 259M, 372M and 425 level A and B compliant. In addition, this fiber based transport system gives users the assurance that each signal is immune to video pathological signals over the entire length of the fiber interconnect, while supporting all pathological patterns at all rates using standard SFPs. The system also supports either single or multi-mode fiber and is fully compatible with Thinklogical’s VX and HDX Router line of products.

STEP 6: Install the provided

+5VDC power supply to the

SDIXtreme 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 7: Connect your 3G or SD/HD SDI

video sources to the SDIXtreme Transmitter’s IN Ports. If using RS422,

connect the devices’ RS422 ports to the Transmitter’s RS422 Ports located directly

below the BNC ports.

STEP 8: A Local Monitor or

other viewing device may be

connected to the Transmitter’s

LOOP OUT port.

STEP 5: Connect your Fiber Optic Cables

from the SDIXtreme Transmitter OUT Ports to any Router Receive Ports. If using RS422, a second, back-channel fiber is required at the corresponding Router Transmit Port. If your application does not require a router, connect directly

to the Receiver fiber ports.

STEP 9: Check that the 3G, SD or HD LEDs are illuminated

(depending on your signal type) on both the Transmitters and

the Receivers. These indicate that the connections are sound.

Ensure that all system functions are operating properly.
