1.0  PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

The  Mini-12GSDI  Series  is  a  miniature,  Fiber  Optic  12Gb/s  SDI 
Digital  Video  Transport  System,  supporting  the  new  1080p  12Gbps 
SDI  format.    The  standard  Mini-12GSDI  system  is  designed  to 
transport  one  (1)  channel  SMPTE-2082  12Gb/s  SDI,  SMPTE-424M 
3Gb/s SDI, SMPTE-292M HD-SDI or SMPTE-259M SDI serial digital 
video  signal  over  long  distance  through  either  single-mode  or  multi-
mode fiber.

 

 

Due  to  the  use  of  advanced  digital  fiber  optic  transmission 
technology,  no  user  adjustments  are  required  in  the  Mini-12GSDI 
system,  enabling  quick  setup  and  trouble-free  operation.  The  Mini-
12GSDI  can  handle  SDI,  DVB-ASI,  HD-SDI,  12G-SDI,  and  many 
other  video  formats.    The  power  connector  has  a  latch-locking 
mechanism, thus no power disruption due to mis-handling problem.

 

 

The  Mini-12GSDI  comes  with  a  rugged,  standalone,  miniature  unit. 
Panel connectors are provided for digital video (BNC connector) and 
fiber  connection    (ST-type    for    the    single-mode    and    multi-mode  
version. 

 

 

Top  panel  LED  indicators  provide  power  (PWR),  received  optical 
power (OPT-LEVEL), and signal detect (OPT) as illustrated in  
Figure 1-1.
