Description

The 6G-SDI Extender over Fiber Optic with Return Channel is a

unique solution from MuxLab for extending SDI cameras or other

SDI sources up to 4K resolutions at 30Hz to a distance of up to

1300ft (400m) using OM4 multi-mode fiber (model 500734),

33,000ft (10km) using single-mode fiber (model 500734-SM10),

132,000ft (40km) using single-mode fiber (model 500734-SM40),

and 264,000ft (80km) using single-mode fiber (model 500734-

SM80).

The product supports multichannel transmission, and can

simultaneously transmit up to 9Gbps of data throughput over the

fiber link, and allows for versatile combinations of sources,

including 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI and HD-SDI. The unit supports

simultaneous transmission of mixed signals such as one 6G-SDI

signal + one 3G-SDI, or three 3G-SDI signals, or two 3G-SDI

signals + two HD-SDI signals, and many other combinations up to

9Gbps. The device supports one input and one output SDI port,

plus three directional SDI ports that can be individually configured

as input or output, or set to automatic direction detection. This

flexibility allows for up to four source ports and one return

channel, or up to one source port and four return channels, or

anything in between. The SDI return channel may be used for AV

monitoring and talk-back, while the RS232 pass-through supports

return of tally light, camera control unit (CCU) and control of end

devices.

Features

•Up to 1300ft (400m) via multimode OM4 fiber and

up to 264,000ft (80km) via singlemode fiber.

•Supports multichannel transmission, and can

simultaneously transmit up to 9Gbps of data traffic

on the fiber link.

•Accepts mixed signal transmission of up to one 6G-

SDI signal + one 3G-SDI signal, three 3G-SDI

signals, or two 3G-SDI signals + two HD-SDI

signals, and many other combinations up to 9Gbps,

and in any direction, including the return channels.

•Supports one input and one output SDI port, plus

three configurable directional SDI ports that can be

individually configured as input or output, or set to

automation direction detection.

•Supports up to four source ports and one return

channel, or up to one source port and four return

channels, or any combination in between. The SDI

return channel may be used for AV monitoring and

talk-back.

•Supports RS232 pass-through for remote control,

and as a return channel for tally light and for a

camera control unit (CCU).

•Maximum resolution supported: 4096x2160 @

24/25Hz, 3840x2160 @ 30Hz.

•Supported SMPTE Standards: SMPTE-292M, SMPTE-

296M, SMPTE-372M, SMPTE-424M, SMPTE-425M.

•Supports all 6G channel configurations (1, 2 or 4

BNC).

•Automatic SDI Link recognition and configuration.

•USB interface may be used for setting the three

directional SDI ports to a fixed direction, or to set

them to automatic direction detection mode. The

USB port is also used for diagnostics, and

upgrading the unit firmware.

•Supports a standard 10G SFP+ module for the

optical fiber interface.

•Supports an aluminum casting enclosure for

ruggedized use.

•Multiple ¼”-20 threads for Camera mounting or

equipment attachment.
