Getting Started
Congratulations on your purchase of a quality Multidyne product. This section contains a general overview of
device functionality and provides information to get you up and running quickly. Additional sections in this
manual can be consulted for more detailed information on the subsystems and features of this product.
1.1
Device Connections
The
FiberNet Routing Matrix
comes with a power supply adapter, a redundant power supply. Additional
cables and hardware are not usually provided.
•
Power supply adapter
– A 12 VDC 10 Amp power supply adapter is provided which is connected to the
DE-9 Male connector on the device and plugged into a 100-240V 50/60Hz AC power source.
•
Redundant power supply (Optional)
– The additional redundant power supply can be connected via the
second power supply connector, to provide an additional power source in the event that one of the
supplies fails or is disconnected from the power source.
•
Ethernet connector (Optional)
– Connect to a network switch with an Ethernet cable. Required for
accessing the web page interface, TCP/IP MDCP interface or for interfacing with remote control panels.
This device can also be connected directly to a computer or remote panel (supports auto MDI-X
allowing a crossover or straight through Ethernet cable to be used).
•
Video I/O Boards
– This system can be ordered factory configured for a specific size or modularly as a base frame and
video I/O boards. Please consult the Video I/O Boards section for details on expanding a device in the field using
modular I/O cards.
•
SDI BNC Video Inputs
– Connect SDI sources to input connectors using 75 Ohm Coax cable with BNC
connectors designed for high speed SDI video applications. Unused inputs can be left unconnected.
Inputs with supported standard rate (3G, HD or SD) SDI signals will be auto re-clocked for reduced
jitter. Other non standard rates between 125 Mbit/s and 2.97 Gbit/s will be passed through without re-
clocking or jitter reduction. Adaptive cable equalization on each input can equalize input signals from
Belden type 1694A cables up to lengths of 120m (@3G), 140m (@HD) and 400m (@SD).
•
SDI BNC Video Outputs
– Connect SDI destinations to output connectors using 75 Ohm Coax cable with
BNC connectors designed for high speed SDI video applications. Unused outputs can be left
unconnected. Outputs utilize standard SMPTE levels of 800mV peak-to-peak.
•
SDI SFP Video Inputs
– SFP input cards provide the means to utilize industry standard MSA SFP modules for
flexibility down to a single input. We offer fiber optic input SFP modules and many 3
rd
party modules may also be
used. See SFP Modules for more details.

•
External Audio Router (Optional)
– An additional Multidyne AES or analog audio router can be utilized
with this router by connecting it to the AUX/GPIO connector with a 25 pin straight through cable,
adding an additional audio level independent of SDI embedded audio.
NOTE:
The audio router should
be powered on before the video router to ensure proper initial routing state or alternatively Preset 0 can
be recalled to initialize it at any time.
•
Sync Reference (Optional)
– If switching on vertical sync pulse is desired, connect one of the Sync
Reference connectors to a sync pulse signal (NTSC, PAL or tri-level) using 75 Ohm Coax with BNC
connectors and the other Sync Reference connector can be used as a pass-through to additional properly
75 Ohm terminated equipment or a 75 Ohm terminator should be installed. If the sync reference
functionality is not used, both connectors can be left unconnected.
•
RS-232 Serial (Optional)
– If serial control is desired, using the MDCP Protocol, connect a D9 female to
