INTRODUCTION
These 3G/HD/SDI/ASI -to- optical fiber converters facilitate the automatic conversion and
transport of SDI, HD-SDI, DVB/ASI and 3GBPS SDI signals over distances up to 10 km using
readily available fiber-optic cable. Consisting of 6 new modules, the new HD-3000-II family
provides customers with a choice of LC, ST, FC or SC connectors, depending on the
converter model selected. MultiDyne’s HD-3000-II converters are compliant with all SMPTE
specifications and are housed in a rugged enclosure that stands up to daily production, both
in the studio and in the field. The HD-3000-II line offers the flexibility to convert HDSDI
signals to optical fiber and output them as single or dual HDSDI feeds. Dual-channel models
allow the conversion of two channels, making them ideal for 3D, dual-link HDSDI, or two
completely independent HDSDI channels. SD, HD, and 3G signals can be intermixed in any
combination. Also, the HD-3000-II converters offer electrical isolation that eliminates ground
loop problems. They also include automatic cable EQ up to 120m for 3G and 350m for SD.
HD-3000-II Models include:
- HD-3000-2TX: Dual channel HDSDI to Fiber converter
- HD-3000-2RX: Dual channel Fiber to HDSDI converter
- HD-3000-1TX: Single channel HDSDI to Fiber converter with looping HDSDI output
- HD-3000-1RX: Single channel Fiber to HDSDI converter with dual HDSDI outputs
- HD-3000-TRX: HDSDI/Fiber transceiver
- HD-3000-DR: Single channel HDSDI optical in, Single channel HDSDI optical out with two
BNC HDSDI outputs, for drop and repeat application.
FEATURES and OPERATION
Please consult the appropriate section below and block diagram in Appendix A according to
what model(s) you have.
TRANSMITTER, HD3000-xTX
The transmitter models, designated by model numbers HD3000-1TX or HD3000-2TX
include 1 or 2 reclocked fiber OUT optical connectors, and 1 or 2 serial digital video IN 75
Ohm BNC connectors, depending on number of channels. Only digital carriers of 125 Mbps
and above should be applied to the BNC input(s). The -1TX also includes a 75 Ohm LOOP
OUT BNC loop-through connector. It is an active re-clocked version of the signal at the BNC
SDI input that can be used to feed other SDI gear or as a cable repeater. Due to lack of rear
panel space, the -2TX does not have any loop thru outputs.
