BlueLite Quick Start Guide V1.0

Using BlueLite:
BlueLite units should be used in pairs; a Remote unit and a Base unit. (An exception to this rule
is if a Bluebell BC Series modular rack system with suitable interface cards is installed at the
base station end.)

LEDs:
On both types of module, bi-colour LEDs are fitted adjacent to each of the SDI BNC connectors.
These illuminate green to confirm a valid input signal, or red to indicate either no signal or
a signal which is in some way invalid. The LEDs adjacent to SDI output connectors indicate
whether a valid SDI signal has been recovered from the incoming fibre signal.
Reclocking:
The factory default is for the data at all the inputs (SDI or optical) to be internally reclocked.
This will generally be desirable for the majority of operational situations. The reclocking
circuitry may be bypassed on a per-channel basis by moving internal PCB jumpers; this may
be desirable when low data rates or asynchronous operation are in use. Please consult the
Operation Guide for details of how to do this.
SDI LED detection source:
Each SDI input and output (i.e., a total of four per unit) has an additional jumper that sets the
source signal for triggering the bi-colour LED. The default setting is for the LED to confirm a
valid SDI stream, but this may be altered to monitor the amplitude of the incoming signal, in
which case a red illumination indicates that the signal level is too low for data recovery to be
made.
