Model 5150
Video Generator Module
a wavelength between 1250 and 1650
nanometers and meets the applicable
SMPTE standards it will be recognized
correctly.
A single-mode optical fiber terminated
with an LC plug can be connected to the
receive port on the SFP module. This port
is on the right side when looking directly at
the back of the SFP module. Typically there
will be a graphic arrow icon pointing “in” on
the top of the module. Refer to Figure 2 for
details on the location of the SFP module.
Ensure that the LC plug fully “mates” with
the receive port and its tab is locked into
the slot of the SFP module.
A configuration setting must be appropri-
ately made to enable the optical SDI input.
There is no automatic switching between
the optical and coaxial (BNC) SDI inputs.
Only one of the two SDI inputs can be
selected and active at a time. Refer to
the Configuration section of this guide
for details.
DC Input and Data Bus
A 4-position header is used to connect DC
power and a local RS-485 serial data bus
to the Model 5150. Two pins on the mating
connector are used to connect a source
of nominal 12 volts DC. The acceptable
range is 10 to 18 volts DC with a maximum
current of 400 milliamperes at 12 volts DC.
For remote control operation two pins on
the mating connector will implement the
data bus connection from a Studio Tech-
nologies’ Model 5190 Remote Access
Module.
The mating connector is compatible with
the AMP MTA-100 series of IDC recepta-
cles. For 22 AWG wire the closed-end-style
receptacle is AMP 3-643813-4; the feed-
through-style receptacle, used for busing
1. – DC (Common)
2. + DC (10-18 volts)
3. + Data (RS-485)
4. – Data (RS-485)

connections, is AMP 3-644540-4. The body
color for both receptacles is red, following
the convention of the MTA-100 series for
compatibility with 22 AWG wire. Refer to
Appendix B of this guide for additional
connector details.
GPI and GPO
This section applies only to Model 5150
modules with serial numbers 00251 and
later.
A 3-position header is used to connect with
the Model 5150’s GPI (general-purpose
input) and GPO (general-purpose output)
functions. Pin 1 is used by both the GPI and
GPO, pin 2 is used by the GPI, and pin 3 by
the GPO. The mating connector is compat-
ible with the AMP MTA-100 series of IDC
receptacles. For 22 AWG wire the closed-
end-style receptacle is AMP 3-643813-3;
the feed-through-style receptacle, used for
busing connections, is AMP 3-644540-3.
The body color for both receptacles is red,
following the convention of the MTA-100
series for compatibility with 22 AWG wire.
Refer to Appendix B of this guide for addi-
tional connector details.
Pins 1 and 2 should be connected to the
switch or relay contact designated to control
the GPI. Electrically the GPI (pin 2) is a log-
ic input that is “pulled up” to 3.3 volts DC by
way of a 5 k (5000) ohm resistor. It operates
in a “logic low” manner requiring that the
switch or contact closure carry a little less
