613T, 613R - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

Review the contents of this user manual

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date

user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware

upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in

signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your Kramer 613T, 613R away from moisture, excessive sunlight

and dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

2.3 Recycling Kramer Products

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC

aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by

requiring it to be collected and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive,

Kramer Electronics has made arrangements with the European Advanced

Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and

recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on arrival at the EARN

facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular country

go to our recycling pages at http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/recycling/.

613T, 613R - Overview

3 Overview

The 613Tconverts 3G-SDI, HD-SDI and DVB-ASI (Digital Video Broadcasting –

Asynchronous Serial Interface) digital video signals to optical signals. It transmits

them over single mode fiber optic cable to the 613Rthat decodes the optical

signals back to electrical 3G-SDI, HD-SDI and DVB-ASI digital video signals.

The 613T and 613Rtransmitter/receiver pair:

Supports up to 3G-SDI digital video signals over fiber optic cable

Supports 1080p, 3G-SDI format

Is designed to transport one-channel SMPTE-424M 3G-SDI, SMPTE 292M

HD-SDI or SMPTE-259M serial digital video signal over long distance

through single-mode optical fiber

Features signal equalizing and re-clocking

Has a transmission range of up to 19 miles (30 km) at 3Gbps

Handles SDI, DVB-ASI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI

Includes a latch locking mechanism for the power supply to prevent the

power from disconnecting due to misuse

Includes power and status blue LEDs

Does not require any special memory size, CPU speed and chipsets, when

using a computer

Both the 613T and 613R come in a very small standalone, metal die-cast

enclosure suitable for rugged applications.

3.2 Powering the 613T, 613R

Your 613T/613R pair comes with two 5V DC power adapters. Both units need to

be connected to their external power adapter. Figure 2 illustrates the power

connector pinout:

4 Using the 3G-SDI Mini Optical Set

This section describes how to:

Connect the detachable optical 3G-SDI Mini Optical Transmitter/ Receiver

(see Section 4.1)

Avoid pitfalls when using the 613Tand 613R(see Section 4.2)

4.1 Connecting the 3G-SDI Mini Optical

Transmitter/Receiver Set

To connect the 613T 3G-SDI Mini Optical Transmitter with the 613R 3G-SDI Mini

Optical Receiver, as the example in Figure 1 illustrates, do the following:

1. Connect the BNC connector of the SDI Source (for example, a camera)

directly to the 613TBNC connector.

Avoid using any intermediate cable which may result in signal quality deterioration.

2. Plug the 5V power adapters to the transmitter and to the receiver, and

connect the adapters to the mains electricity.

The blue LED lights.

3. Connect the 613RBNC connector directly to the BNC connector of the display

device.

4. Remove the protective cover from the optic fiber ST connector on the 613T

and connect to the fiber optic cable.

Use glass single-mode fiber optic cable with 1310, 1550nm bandwidth on ST

connectors.

5. Remove the protective cover from the optic fiber ST connector on the 613R

and connect to the other side of the fiber optic cable.

6. Turn ON the power on the source and the display devices.

4.2 Avoiding Pitfalls Using the 613T and 613R

If any of these problems occur, we recommend the following solutions:

If the display device shows only a black screen:

Make sure that all the AC and DC plugs and jacks used by the external

power supplies are firmly connected

Be sure that the BNC connectors are firmly plugged into the SDI source and the

display devices, and be sure that the transmitter and receiver modules are

correctly plugged into the source and SDI display devices, respectively

Check if the SDI source and display are powered ON and properly booted

Reset the system by unplugging and then replugging the transmitter SDI port

or receiver SDI port and then reboot the system

If the picture on the screen appears distorted or displays noise, check the quality

of the SDI source and the length of the optical fiber cable.

Caution:

Be sure that the fiber optic cables are always stored

and used away from liquid or dirt
