BlueLite Quick Start Guide V1.0

Power supply:
Each BlueLite unit requires an external power supply of 12 V DC. The power supply connector
is a Neutrik
®
XLR4M; wire the mating connector as below:
The optional Bluebell Model PS12 PSU is ideal, as it is supplied pre-wired with a locking mating
connector.
The power consumption of a BlueLite module is 6.7 W.
Inputs and outputs:
Video:
The BlueLite system allows two independent 3G-SDI signals to be transported simultaneously
over fibre in each direction. The system is for use with serial digital video signals with data rates
up to 3 Gb/s. Standards supported are SD-SDI (SMPTE 259M-compliant), HD-SDI (SMPTE
292M-compliant) and 3G-SDI (SMPTE 424M-compliant).
All video inputs and outputs are on 75 ohm BNC sockets.
Audio:
The BlueLite system supports the simultaneous transport of two independent audio signals
(referred to as Audio Ch.1 and Audio Ch.2 in the Guide) in each direction. All audio inputs and
outputs are analogue, and electronically balanced on XLR connectors.
On both units, the inputs and outputs for Audio Ch.1 in each direction are on separate 3-pin
connectors; those for Audio Ch.2 are combined on a single 5-pin connector. The pinouts follow
the table below:
