Section 2: Product Features
Designed to be compatible with the 12G SDI Input/Output Card for the TLX160 Matrix
Switch
®
, the 12G SDI Extension System accepts one video signal over one to four
standard BNC connectors.
DL and QL video signals are multiplexed into a single data stream where an SDI pathological TX SFP
module, which supports data rates between HD-SDI (1.5G) and 12G SDI, is used to transport the serial
stream over a single fiber-optic cable. An SDI pathological RX SFP module then receives the data.
Operating in either pass-through mode or demultiplex mode generates the output video signal and
allows cross-conversion between the input signal and the output signal. For instance, a Quad-Link 3G
input can be displayed at 12G Single-Link, and vice versa.
This product is a stand-alone design and is not compatible with TLX or SDI Extreme 3G+ Extender
product lines. It is only compatible with the 12G SDI I/O Card of the TLX 160 Matrix Switch.
Operating Requirements
➢
12G SDI Extenders support the following signal formats:
•
1 x HD-SDI (1.485/1.4835 Gbps), per SMPTE ST 292
•
2 x HD-SDI (1.485/1.4835 Gbps), per SMPTE ST 372
•
4 x HD-SDI (1.485/1.4835 Gbps), per SMPTE ST 425-3
•
1 x 3G-SDI (2.97/2.967 Gbps), per SMPTE ST 425-1
•
2 x 3G-SDI (2.97/2.967 Gbps), per SMPTE ST 425-3
•
4 x 3G-SDI (2.97/2.967 Gbps), per SMPTE ST 425-5
•
1 x 6G-SDI (5.94/5.934Gbps), per SMPTE ST 2081-10 MODE 1 and MODE 2
•
2 x 6G-SDI (5.94/5.934Gbps), per SMPTE ST ST 2081-11 MODE 1
•
1 x 12G-SDI (11.88/11.868 Gbps), per SMPTE ST 2082-10 MODE 1
➢
The transport scheme is compatible with the 12G SDI I/O Card for the TLX160 Matrix Switch.
➢
Transmit distances from up to 10km or 40km, depending upon the SFP module.
➢
Requires use of non-MSA compliant, single-mode TX and RX SFP modules. (Not interoperable with
all other MSA compliant devices.)
➢
All signals are transported via one single-mode fiber.
➢
The Transmitter accepts a single, dual, or quad copper inputs (from a single video source). The
Transmitter multiplexes Dual-Link and Quad-Link inputs or passes through a single input to the
pathological SFP.
➢
The Receiver converts the received fiber-optic signal back to its equivalent SDI signal or can convert
specific formats for cross conversion (See tables on pg. 13 for more information).
➢
Thinklogical recommends Belden 6G (1694A) coaxial cable or better to extend 12G SDI signals.
