NOTE: Green illuminated LEDs labeled OPT, SDI, or LOCK indicate a signal has been
detected and locked for that input.
NOTE: The OPT or LOCK indicator for optical receivers may flicker or glow dim with the
optical input disconnected.
Installation
NOTE: AJA does not support use of any SFP modules other than our own; use of any non-
AJA SFP module will void the warranty.
Installation consists of the following steps:
1. Connect video equipment to the FiDO converter BNCs.
2. Connect ber to the FiDO Optical ber connectors.

FiDO 3G Series SDI/Optical Fiber Mini-Converters v1.2 11 www.aja.com
3. Connect single SC style Optical ber connectors to the SC equipped FiDO
converters (FiDO-T-SC, FiDO-R-SC).
Figure 1. SC Style Optical Fiber Connector
4. Connect ST style Optical ber connectors to the ST equipped FiDO
converters (FiDO-T-ST, FiDO-R-ST, FiDO-4T-ST, FiDO-4R-ST.
Figure 2. ST Style Optical Fiber Connector
5. FiDO-TR, FiDO-2T, and FiDO-2R all require either a duplex LC cable or two
simplex LC cables. Insert each connector until it latches.
Figure 3. FiDO to Duplex LC Example
6. FiDO-T and FiDO-R require a single simplex LC cable connected to the
optical port on the converter pointed to by the arrow (lower Optical In on
FiDO-R, or higher Optical Out on FiDO-T).
NOTE: Fiber optic interconnections can be severely compromised by dirt, oils, or other
contaminants. All dust caps should be replaced on cables and equipment
whenever FiDO converters are disconnected from fiber optic cables.
7. Apply +5VDC power to the converter (AJA power supply included).
Operation
FiDO series converters have no user controls. No configuration or settings are
required. Once powered, the FiDO converters will begin converting applied fiber/
SDI signals.
