Cobalt Digital COMPASS 9212-EO 3G_HD_SD-SDI Fiber Transmitter - Manual (Page 10)

1-2 •••• Introduction 9211-OE, 9212-EO User Manual
Overview
The 9211-OE and 9212-EO are capable of equalizing and reclocking all common serial digital
signals. With support for both standard-definition and high-definition signals, the 9211-OE and
9212-EO are the ideal universal SDI distribution amplifiers.
Both cards provide the ability to transport digital video baseband signals over a fiber optic link,
allowing for longer transport distances. The electrical to optical (9212-EO) and optical to electrical
(9211-OE) conversions are done using video specific small form-factor pluggable (SFP)
transceivers.
Both cards equalize the incoming SDI signal, then reclocks the signal with automatic rate detection
for all popular data rates. LED indicators at the front of the card identify the presence of incoming
video and the identified signal data rate.
In a 20-slot frame, the 9211-OE can be operated as a 1x6 using a Full Rear Module or operated as
an independent 1x3 (one in, three out), using the Split Rear Module. In the 1x3 configuration, the
outputs are non-inverting, making it an excellent ASI distribution amplifier.
