HD-SDI Video Transmission Over Fiber

The HDSDI-11 provides a fiber optic link for transmitting one channel of high-definition SDI video between a video source and monitoring or recording equipment. A typical installation places the transmitter at the video source and the receiver at the monitoring end, connected through a fiber optic cable.

The system supports HD video data rates from 270 Mbps to 2.97 Gbps, providing compatibility with a range of professional SDI video applications.

1-Channel RS-485 Return Data

The HDSDI-11 also provides one channel of RS-485 return data with data rates up to 300 Kbps. The data channel operates in the return direction, allowing compatible control or auxiliary data to travel back over the fiber link.

1G and 3G SFP Options

The HDSDI-11 uses fiber optic SFP modules to establish the optical link. The datasheet identifies both 1G and 3G SFP options, including multimode and singlemode configurations.

Available options include:

  • GB2MM — 1G, multimode, up to 0.5 km
  • GB10SM — 1G, singlemode, up to 10 km
  • GB20SFA / GB20SFB — 1G, singlemode, up to 20 km
  • 3GBMM — 3G, multimode, up to 0.5 km
  • 3GB20SM — 3G, singlemode, up to 20 km
  • 3GB20SFA / 3GB20SFB — 3G, singlemode, up to 20 km

Local Monitoring Output

The HDSDI-11 transmitter includes a redundant video output for local monitoring, allowing the incoming SDI signal to be monitored locally while it is simultaneously transmitted over the fiber link. The transmitter has one local video output, while the receiver provides two video outputs.

Adjustment-Free Installation

The HDSDI-11 is designed for straightforward installation without electrical or optical adjustments. LED indicators provide system status information, while the hot-pluggable design allows the units to be installed into the FVC18 18-slot chassis.
