Introduction

The Logical Solution

The SDI Xtreme 3G and 3G+ product series is available with LC-type fiber connectors. See Appendix A, for ordering details on the complete line of the Thinklogical SDI Xtreme 3G and

3G+ products.

Theory of Operation

The SDI Xtreme 3G and 3G+ product series is a compact, broadcast quality SDI over fiber extension system. The system is designed to transmit up to two SD/HD signals or one 3G SDI

signal 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. The system also supports either single or multimode fiber and is fully compatible with Thinklogical’s VX and HDX Router line of products.

The SDI Xtreme 3G+ product line has an RS-422 port for device control. These are available in single or dual chassis models. The dual chassis model houses two separate SDI Xtreme 3G+ units, providing multiple combinations of transmitter and receiver possibilities. There are also options for loop out and multiplexed signals.

The SDI Xtreme 3G+ Rack Mount (RM) may be used as a transmitter, a receiver, or the slots may be mixed for flexible configurations (as a transceiver). All SDI interface modules are hotswappable and each has its own RS-422 port. The front panel user interface provides all the essential features such as status monitoring and link activity for mission critical environments. System architecture provides hot-swappable, current sharing power supply modules, a critical component in high up-time environments which typically are supported by more than one power grid as a failover option. In the unlikely event that a power module fails, there is no interruption to the component because they are both working all the time. In addition, a dry contact annunciator provides an alarm warning in the event of a power failure or a unit overheating and a replacement may be installed with minimal downtime.

Warning! In order to avoid possible exposure to laser energy, it is good

practice to attach the fiber optic cables prior to applying power to the unit. If the fiber optic cable should become disconnected, DO NOT attempt to look into the cable or the panel mounted connector.

Part 1: Hardware

Contents

When you receive your Thinklogical® SDI Xtreme 3G, you should receive the following items:

• SDI Xtreme 3G Hardware

• 5VDC Power Cords – PWR-000022-R (3G, 3G+)

• AC power cord, PWR-000006-R (International connections may differ) – Qty 2 (3G+ Rack-

mount Only)

• Product Manual CD

• Product Quick-Start Guide

All physical connections to the product use industry-standard connectors.

SFP+ Modules

Small Form-factor Pluggable modules are short-wavelength transceivers designed for use in bi-

directional fiber-optic channel links. Each SFP module is hot-pluggable and operates on 3.3VDC. Each Tx and Rx contains SFP+ modules that serve as the fiber-optic couplers for the fiber cables

to and from the Thinklogical® Tx and Rx units.

Always use dust caps to protect against damage when a fiber optic connector is not attached to its coupling device (fiber optic equipment, bulkheads, etc.)

Figure 1: SFP+ Module Figure 2: It is good practice to install

dust plugs in unused SFP+s.

Dry Contact Alarm (3G+ RM Only)

There are dry contact alarms located on each module in the 3G+ Rack Mount units. When there is an alarm condition, such as an over temperature condition or an issue with a power supply or fan, the relay is energized.

Figure 3: Dry Contact Alarm

The dry contact alarm is a Form C contact with the following ratings:

• Nominal switching capacity- 1A, 30VDC, 0.3A 125VAX (resistive load)

• Max. switching power- 30W (DC), 37.5VA (AC) (resistive load)

If there are no current alarm conditions the front panel should read as below with “0” indicating that there are no failures:

0000 00 0

Figure 4: No Alarm Conditions Present If an alarm condition is identified, a “1” will indicate a failure as described below:

0100 01 0

Figure 5: Alarm Conditions Present

This example indicates that Fan #2 and Power Supply #1 have each encountered a failure.

Revision E 10 July 2012

Hot Swappable Power Supplies (3G+ Rack-Mount Only)

The 3G+ Rack Mount units are equipped with dual hot-swappable, current sharing power supply modules. Each module has an ON/OFF rocker-type power switch. When the power supply is ON the LED on the front of the power supply will be lit.

Note: If no modules are plugged in but both power supplies are powered “On” the front LED status may flash or malfunction, giving you an inconclusive reading of power supply status for the unit. An uninstalled power module will not report an alarm.

In the unlikely event that a power module fails, the replacement can be swapped with no interruption in unit functionality. To hot swap a power supply, simply unscrew the failed module and replace it with a new power supply module (part number VTM-000001, which can be ordered from Thinklogical™).

Figure 6: Power Supply Status and Rocker Switch Location

Fiber Optic Cable

Fiber optic cable must run between the Transmitter unit and the Receiver unit. The multi-mode fiber optic cable must be 50 microns, terminated with a LC-type fiber optic connector and no longer than 3280 running feet (1000 meters). Single-mode fiber can extend to distances beyond 1000m.

Unlike copper cabling, fiber optic cable requires special handling. A small speck of dust or a scratch to the ferrule tip can attenuate the optical signal, making the fiber cable unusable.

Warning! The ends of the connectors (the ferrule) should never come in contact

with any foreign object, including fingertips.

Warning! Minimum bend radius must be 3”. Be careful not to pinch the fiber

when using ties.

Connecting to the Thinklogical® SDI Xtreme 3G Installation

All physical connections to the product use industry-standard connectors. Non-supplied cables that may be needed are commercially available. All connections are found on the rear of the unit.

Set-Up

Note: To avoid inadvertent exposure to the lasers, the fiber optic cables should be attached to the SDI Xtreme 3G prior to powering up the units.

Order of Installation Events

Refer to the Quick Start Guides in Appendix B on page 23.

RS-422 (3G+ Products Only)

The RS-422 connector on 3G+ models is wired to emulate an SMPTE 207M Machine Control Pin-out.

• In Rack Mount products jumper J5 may be used to flip the transmit and receive polarities on both TX and RX boards.

• In Stand Alone products jumper J8 may be used to flip the transmit and receive polarities on both TX and RX boards.

Note: For devices that use straight pinned cables, the jumpers must be in the

same position on both the TX and RX to function correctly.
