Chapter 1 – OG-FiDO-12G-Series

Card Series Overview

The OG-FiDO-12G-Series cards are state-of-the-art, openGear-compatible,

12G-SDI to/from Fiber converter cards, enabling SDI signals to be extended up to

10km over standard Single-Mode fiber optic cable.

Five AJA cards are available in the OG-FiDO-12G-Series:

• OG-FiDO-TR-12G, 1-Channel 12G-SDI/LC Single-Mode LC Fiber Transceiver

• OG-FiDO-T-12G-ST, 1-Channel 12G-SDI to Single-Mode ST Fiber Transmitter

• OG-FiDO-R-12G-ST, 1-Channel Single-Mode ST Fiber to 12G-SDI Receiver

• OG-FiDO-2T-12G, 2-Channel 12G-SDI to Single-Mode LC Fiber Transmitter

• OG-FiDO-2R-12G, 2-Channel Single-Mode LC Fiber to 12G-SDI Receiver

The inputs are re-clocked with best-in-class input jitter tolerance. The two

channel cards (including the Transceiver card) have completely independent

paths, allowing different SDI rates to be carried on each channel.

The fiber SFP cage is attached to the main card for added reliability and for the

best signal integrity.

NOTE: In order to allow direct fiber connection to the card, and avoid problematic

optical couplers, AJA FiDO openGear cards have the SFP cage attached to the

front card. This means that the card cannot be removed from the frame with the

SFP module, cables, and/or BNC retaining nuts installed.

Signal Indicators in the DashBoard Control System

Card Alarm State – Yellow

SDI Signal Not Present, Fiber Signal Not Present

When the signal is either not present or is not locked, the DashBoard Control

System shows a yellow Card State alarm: "Signal Status No Signal."

Additionally, under the Signal Status tab for both SDI IN and FIBER IN, the Signal

Status is shown as "No Signal," and the Input Lock is shown as "No Lock."

For 2 channel models, this alarm will be on if either of the inputs is not present.

Figure 3. Signal Status No Signal

NOTE: The description above for one SDI input and one fiber input applies only to the TR

model. The other cards in this series are very similar in their behavior with respect

to signal status indicators.

Card Alarm State – Yellow

SDI Signal Present, Fiber Signal Not Present

The screen capture below shows an example in which there is an SDI signal

present and locked, but there is no Fiber signal present. In that case, the

DashBoard Control System shows a yellow Card State with the message "Signal

Status No Signal."

Additionally, under the Signal Status tab, the SDI IN Signal Status is shown as

"Signal Present," and the Input Lock is shown as "Locked," while the FIBER IN

Signal Status displays "No Signal," and the Input Lock displays "No Lock."

Figure 4. SDI Input Signal present and locked, Fiber Input Signal not present

NOTE: The description above for one SDI input and one fiber input applies only to the TR

model. The other cards in this series are very similar in their behavior with respect

to signal status indicators.
