2.3 Rear Connector Panels
The following diagrams illustrate the layout and connectors on the available HDA-3961 rear panels. Note that the HDA-3961
functionality is determined by the rear panel that is installed.
HDA-3961 Rear Panels:
HDA-3961-3SRP-HF
Single rear panel with single 1×10 or dual 2×5 HD-BNC with fiber option support.
HDA-3961-3SRP-2IN
Single rear panel with single 1×6 or dual 2×3 BNCs.
This table summarizes the input/output connections on the various rear panels shown above:

12G/3G/HD/SD IN
– Serial digital Video Inputs
Connect a serial digital video signal, conforming to the ST 2082-1 for 12G-SDI, ST 424 for 3G-SDI, SMPTE 292M standard
for HD input signals or SMPTE 259M standard for SD input signals, to the BNC labeled
12G/3G/HD SDI IN
. The HDA-3961
will automatically switch to the detected video line format.
12G/3G/HD/SD OUT
– Serial Digital Video Outputs
The HDA-3961 provides multiple12G/3G/HD/SD SDI video outputs on BNC or HD-BNC connectors, labeled

, etc. The SDI video signal conforms to the SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 259M-C standard.
Fiber I/O connector
SFP optical modules are small, hot-pluggable cartridges which provide fiber connectivity to the HDA-3961 distribution
amplifiers. By using fiber instead of coaxial cable, these interfaces can be used over much longer distances without
impacting signal quality.
SFP Modules can be installed into HDA-3961 rear panels that offer SFP connectivity, easily identifiable by a -F extension in
the Grass Valley Rear part number. A single SFP optical module offers either 1 or 2 fiber connections, available as single Tx
or Rx, or dual Rx or Tx.
The fiber I/O connector accepts any of the available SFP cartridges. At the time of publication of this document, the following
cartridges were available:
