VS-44FO - Overview
5
The unit can be controlled using the front panel buttons or:
Using an
RC-IR3
infrared remote control transmitter (included)
Remotely, by RS-232 or RS-485 serial commands transmitted by a PC,
touch screen system, or other serial controller
Via the Ethernet
By default, the
VS-44FO
is controlled using the Kramer 3000 protocol (see
Section
6.1.9
for details of how to switch to Protocol 2000 and
Section
9
for the relevant
protocol commands).
3.1
Defining the SFP
An SFP is a small form-factor pluggable transceiver that is a compact, hot-
swappable, input/output transceiver used in data communication and
telecommunications networks. The SFP interfaces between communication
devices like switches, routers and fiber optic cables, and performs conversions
between optical and electrical signals.
The SFP transceiver is specified by the SFP Transceiver Multisource Agreement
(MSA), which was developed and is followed by different transceiver
manufacturers. SFP transceivers have a wide range of detachable interfaces to
multimode/single-mode fiber optics that allows users to select the appropriate
transceiver according to the required optical range for the network. The
VS-44FO
supports use of non-MSA (SFP Transceiver Multisource Agreement) video
modules and MSA communication modules.
The optical transceiver modules are engineered for exceptional performance in the
presence of SDI pathological patterns. The transceivers feature best-in-class
optical receiver sensitivity for SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 344M, SMPTE 292M and
SMPTE 424M serial rates, to provide superior optical link budget and robustness.
