DETOUR User Guide (v3.0)

The Relay Bypass on Lock Error feature has an adjustable time out hysteresis to prevent a bypass on every lock 
error. The hysteresis may be varied in sensitivity to prevent bypass relay “chattering” on a signal that contains 
noise that makes it difficult for the reclocker to lock to. Set the slider to 1 for very sensitive, or to 100 for less 
sensitive. 

6. Select 

Bypass on USB power loss

 box to enable DETOUR to automatically switch to Bypass mode when the 

power from the USB connection is lost.

7. Select a 

Failover mode

 to specify how DETOUR responds to multiple bypass error trigger events. Refer to the 

section “

Setup Tab

” on page 23 for details.

8. Use the 

Failover Hysteresis

 slider to specify the number of seconds that DETOUR uses for the timeout to 

prevent multiple bypass error trigger events.

Configuring the Equalizer

You can choose to enable or bypass the equalizer for the SDI input. The equalizer enables DETOUR to compensate 
for noise and signal losses inherent in long coaxial cable runs.

You must bypass the equalizer when using signals of less than 125Mbps (such as SMPTE 310 signals). For 
signals 125Mbps and greater (such as SDI signals), you must enable the equalizer.

To configure the equalizer

1. From the 

Device View

, select the 

Setup

 tab.

2. Select the 

EQ Enable

 box.

The box displays a check-mark.

To bypass the equalizer

1. From the 

Device View

, select the 

Setup

 tab.

2. Clear the 

EQ Enable

 box.

The box does not display a check-mark. The EQ settings are not applied to the SDI input.

Configuring the Reclocker

This section summarizes how to select a data rate for the reclocker. This enables the DETOUR to reclock at a 
specific data rate or automatically detect and reclock the data rate. It also sets the input signal type that the 
DETOUR will process. Note that reclocking does not convert the signal, it selects the appropriate signal slew rate 
only. The reclocking outputs are only active when they are enabled and DETOUR is not in bypass mode.

To enable the reclocker

1. From the 

Device View

, select the 

Setup

 tab.

2. Use the 

Reclocker Rate 

options to specify a data rate. Choose from the following:

Auto

 — The DETOUR reclocks at the detected rate on the SDI input automatically.

MADI

 — The DETOUR is set to reclock at MADI data rate of 125Mbps only. This is the required setting 

when using MADI signals.

SD

 — The DETOUR is set to reclock at a data rate of 270Mbps.

HD 

— The DETOUR is set to reclock at a data rate of 1.485Gbps.

3G

 — The DETOUR is set to reclock at a data rate of 2.97Gbps.

6G

 — The DETOUR is set to reclock at a data rate of 5.94Gbps.

12G

 — The DETOUR is set to reclock at a data rate of 11.88Gbps.
