INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the 3GSDI Fiber Optic Extender. Your

complete satisfaction is very important to us.

Gefen

Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions

that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.

Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer

systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes

with hard-working solutions that are easy to implement and simple to operate.

The Gefen 3GSDI Fiber Optic Extender

The Gefen 3GSDI Fiber Optic Extender is a miniature digital video data transport

system over ﬁber optic cable supporting 1080p for 3G-SDI and HD-SDI. It

converts a one-channel SMPTE-424M 3G-SDI, SMPTE-292M HD, or SMPTE-

259M serial digital video signal over extended distances up to 12 miles (20 km)

over either single-mode or multi-mode ﬁber optic cable.

How It Works

The Sender receives the SDI input signal and converts the SMPTE-424M / 292M

/ 259M SDI signals to optical data. The Receiver unit collects the optical data

from the ﬁber cable and converts it to an SDI signal.

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR

OPERATING THE 3GSDI FIBER OPTIC EXTENDER

• The use of an intermediate cable or adapter is not recommended. Additional

coupling devices may deteriorate the signal transmission.
