The SDI Xtreme 3G+ product series is a compact, broadcast quality, SDI over fiber extension system. The system is designed to transmit up to two SD/HD signals or one 3G SDI signal with or without embedded audio and data, and is SMPTE 424M, 292M, 259M, 372M and 425 level A and B compliant. In addition, this fiber based transport system gives users the assurance that each signal is immune to video pathological signals over the entire length of the fiber interconnect, while supporting all pathological patterns at all rates. The system also supports either single or multi-mode fiber, and is fully compatible with Thinklogical’s VX and HDX Router line of products.
The SDI Xtreme 3G+ provides industry leading performance and reliable media conversion for a wide variety of applications. Therefore, it is an ideal solution for Pro A/V, broadcast, and corporate studio applications, including video production and editing, sports tele-production, field production, cross-town fiber links, cross on–campus production, pre–fibered venues, courtesy feeds and many more.
The System
The reliability of the SDI Xtreme 3G+ stems from the quality of its design and construction, with advanced integrated re-clocking circuitry designed into the transmitter and receiver. Equalized and re-driven SDI loop-through is also provided on the transmitter. These key features provide assurance that the signal is equalized and re-clocked prior to fiber transmission; therefore it retains all of the signals initial parameters allowing for pristine re-clocked SDI outputs on the receiver. Additional options for the transmitter component include loop-out, or dual channel, which provides two muliplexed (1.485 Gbps) signals transmitted and received over a single fiber. Status LEDs indicate system activity and link activity.
Installation possibilities are expanded with built-in support for either multi-mode or single mode fiber, making this a convenient and cost effective solution to combat the restrictions involved with the distribution of uncompressed broadcast quality video signals over long distances. In addition, the standard SFP+ optics are hot swappable/pluggable with LC connectors. An RS-422 connector provides a full duplex channel to send/receive data, making it ideal for remote camera operations (such as pan, tilt and zoom), and access to video and audio players/recorders.
The system provides transmitter and receiver models as well as a transceiver model for bi-directional video extension.
