The BCI Mini-3GHD Series units are used in pairs. For unidirectional
systems, one Mini-3GHD transmitter unit is located at the near end and
connected to the Mini-3GHD receiver located at the far end of the link,
connected through one optical fiber. Each unit provides a separate
electrical interface connector for the HD-SDI video signal. Figure 2-1
depicts a typical installation.
