User Manual  

GENERAL:

The IRT DDT-4634 and DDR-4634 are quad transmit and receive modules designed principally for use as four independent serial data fibre optic transmission links for 3G-SDI, HD-SDI or SD-SDI applications conforming to SMPTE standards 424M, 292M and 259M-C using 9/125 µm single mode fibre

In addition, the link may be used for ASI transport streams for use with MPEG compressed video streams or other 270 Mb/s type data.

The transmitter features automatic input cable equalisation and comes standard with 1510nm, 1530nm, 1550nm and 1570nm lasers. Other wavelength combinations are available on request.

The receiver uses a choice of either a PIN photodiode or APD detectors with signal conditioning and reclocking circuits. The data rates are automatically set to match the 3G-SDI, HD-SDI or SD-SDI/ASI rates dependent on the actual input data rates to the transmitter.

The transmitter and receiver modules are compatible with IRT's single channel fibre cards for use as four independent fibre paths starting from or coming to a single location.

LED indicators are provided on both modules for digital signal presence and power.

Optionally a CWDM2 optical combiner can be fitted to allow for combined use on a single fibre.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is available for remote monitoring when used in conjunction with an IRT frame fitted with SNMP capability.


NOTE: 1 27dB path loss at 3G. Typically >30dB at HD and SD. Fitted with APD detector.
           2 With CWDM option fitted for combined use on a single fibre, optical path loss is reduced by
              approximately 2.5dB.
