RB-3GSDI-01 series
SD/HD/3G-SDI Video Converter
User’s manual
(please read before installation)
1. Description
The RB-3GSDI-01 video digital optical converter uses an
all-digital fiber technology that allows transmission of SD,
HD or 3G-SDI video signals over one fiber optic strand
only at high-quality and for long reaches. RB-3GSDI-01
series offers transport of a single SDI video interface over
fiber optic. Besides the SDI interface, converters provide
a return RS-232/RS-485 interface path for control signals.
The single port series converters can also be installed in a
16 slot 19
”
, 2RU chassis with redundant AC power
supplies.

Installation
Package Contents: Converter, Power Adapter, and this
Manual
Please identify Transmitter and Receiver units in the
RB-3GSDI package.
“
-T
”
ending unit is Transmitter and
must be installed at the source of SDI signal,
“
-R
”
unit will
be installed at receiving end of the SDI video signal path.
Please connect optical fiber first and the SDI copper
connections before powering up the units. Check LED
lights to confirm proper connectivity has been
established. SDI signal should be available at remote end.
Only use the power supply provided with the converter
unit. Power adapter provides stable and filtered power
for the fiber converters; if adapter is lost please contact
vendor for a replacement part. A 3
rd
party AC adapter can
only be used if output voltage, polarity and power jack
connector are identical to the original AC adapter.
