May 26, 2009
POWER REQUIREMENTS
The HD1500 / HD3000 Series operates from 110 or 220 VAC with the appropriate
wall-mount power supply or 5 to 24 VDC @ 1A using a coaxial type connector (sleeve
ground) on the rear panel labeled POWER. The wall-mount power supply should provide a
minimum of 5V DC at 1 amp. If desired, the units could be powered from a battery pack or
automotive battery instead of the wall unit.
INSTALLATION
The installation and start up of the HD1500 /HD3000 Series do not have special
requirements. No special sequence must be followed to connect and start up the unit. RG59
or other 75 Ohms Coax cable must be used for the SDI inputs and outputs and single mode
fiber with the selected proper connectors must be used for the fiber link. Optionally,
multimode fiber can be used with a shift patch on the transmitter, though significant reduced
range performance is expected for this scenario. The HD1500 / HD3000 Series come
standard as stand-alone units. An optional rack-mounting kit is available to mount up to 6
units in a 1 Rack-unit or 1 ¾” by 19” rack space. The part number is –RM6.
NON STANDARD SETTING
The HD1500 / HD3000 series comes configured to satisfy the needs of most users.
This includes automatic cable equalization and auto mute for SMPTE HD and SD signals and
support for DVB/ASI. However, it is possible to pass other non SMPTE rates and digital
signals by setting a jumper in the FTX and FRX units. It is possible that SMPTE 310 or
19.4Mbps will not operate in automatic mode. In this case please change jumpers as
suggested below.
The FTX unit uses the 3 pin jumper J2, 1-2 setting by default to auto mute the link
when there is not a valid signal in the input, like noise from any external source. The default
optic of this link is designed for SMPTE rates over 143 Mbps; however the link can support a
wider range with alternative optics. The J2 Jumper must be set to 2-3 for passing signals
slower than 20 Mbps. Similarly to the FTX, the FRX unit has the jumper J5 placed by default
to auto mute when no signal or non SMPTE rates are detected.
Transmitter –FTX Jumper J2:
Short 1-2 or closest positition to BNC for Auto Mute
Transmitter –FTX Jumper J2:
Short 2-3 or positition away from BNC for SMPTE 310, 20Mbps or less
Receiver –FRX Jumper J5:
Short for Auto Mute
Receiver –FRX Jumper J5:
Open for SMPTE 310, 20Mbps or less
