1. DESCRIPTION
1.1. The HVD3001C03
The HVD3001C03 module is a dual digital video distributor for SDI format signals at
3Gbit/s (3G), 1.5Gbit/s (HD) and 270Mbit/s (SD) with automatic cable equalization and
reclocking functions. The module consists of two independent sections, each of which
has one electrical input and four electrical outputs. In addition, electrical-to-optical and
optical-to-electrical SFP modules can be installed in order to add fiber optic connectivity
to each section. Also, the two sections can be combined for use a as a single channel
distributor with one input and eight outputs.
The HVD3001C03 can also distribute DVB-ASI signals however in this case the number of
electrical outputs is reduced by one half.
The SFP converter modules are optional. Up to two can be added - one for the input and
one for the outputs. Each module has two independent channels, one per section.
The fiber optic inputs and outputs of the HVD3001C03 module connect at the rear
panel, limiting the system to four outputs per section.
The HVD3001C03 includes the following status LEDs for each section: input failure,
de-sync of the reclocker and failure of the SFP module laser (if an SFP is inserted). In
addition there is an LED to indicate HD signals and two more LEDs to indicate if the input
is electrical or optical.
It is possible to monitor the HVD3001C03 status remotely using a communications
controller module installed in the same mounting frame. In addition, certain controller
modules provide SNMP management and the ability to record events in a file including
date and time information for further analysis.
The HVD3001C03 is a member of the TL3000 line terminal family but can only be
installed in (3 RU) UR3000 mounting frames.
The HVD3001 family encompasses the following range of 3G/HD/SD-SDI signal
distributors:
•HVD3001C01: A dual 3G/HD/SD-SDI signal distributor with one input and six outputs
and capability for optical inputs and outputs via optional, front panel SFP modules.

3. INSTALLATION
THE HVD3001C03 MODULE CONTAINS ELECTRONIC DEVICES SENSITIVE TO
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE. Always use antistatic bags clearly identified
with a high degree of shielding for storage and transportation.
The HVD3001C03 module is composed of two parts: one HVD3001P02 main board and
one XVD3000P11 rear board. Both parts must be installed in a UR3000 or UR3100
mounting frame following the instructions in the corresponding section of this chapter.
3.1. Initial inspection
Verify that the package has been properly handled during transport. After opening the
packaging, check that one HVD3001P02 main board and one XVD3000P11 rear board
are inside.
You must notify your Albalá Ingenieros distributor or dealer of any damage or defects
observed.
Follow the instructions in this manual to install this module in the mounting frame.
3.2. Safety instructions
When the module incorporates any optional SFP optic fiber transmitter provided by
Albalá Ingenieros, the HVD3001C03 is a CLASS 1 LASER product as per the IEC 60825-1
standard. Please read the safety instructions included in this manual carefully before
using this module.
•The HVD3001C03 may contain an SFP fiber optic transmitter module with
laser diodes. These modules are CLASS 1 LASER products. Due to its features
this device is inherently safe. However, exercise CAUTION as there is
invisible laser radiation in the module's fiber optic connectors. Avoid
exposure to the beam. NEVER lift or remove the cover of the HVD3001C03's
optical connectors except to connect a fiber optic connection, and be sure
that the power is off when doing so. NEVER leave optical connections that
are carrying signals disconnected from the equipment. NEVER examine a
fiber optic connector with a microscope without being absolutely certain
13

Albalá Ingenieros | Manual HVD3001C03
that no optical signal is present, as this could cause serious damage to the
retina.
•This equipment must be connected to a mains outlet with a protective
earth connection. Never use extension cords that do not have protective
earthing connection. The lack of an effective electrical connection between
the ground pin in the mains input connector of the equipment and the
protective earth of the electrical power distribution can cause serious harm.
•All modules of the Albalá Ingenieros TL3000 terminal line can be
hot-plugged or unplugged without suffering any damage or affecting the
processes that are currently taking place in other modules in the same
mounting frame. When a module is installed in an empty bay of a mounting
frame, it is necessary to mount the rear board that is part of that module.
Prior to installing this board, the mounting frame must be disconnected
from the power supply network. This is required because in addition to the
risk of electrocution for the person handling the device it is possible that a
high instantaneous current coming from the power supply could damage
the connectors and components of the mounting frame and/or the rear
board.
•The HVD3001C03 module and the mounting frame should always be
installed, maintained, operated and removed by personnel with sufficient
technical qualifications. The equipment should never be placed in damp
areas, near splashing liquid, or in explosive or corrosive atmospheres.
Neither modules nor mounting frames can be used in applications that
could endanger human life.
3.3. Environmental considerations
This symbol indicates that this equipment must be deposited at a collection
point for proper waste treatment once it has reached the end of its useful
life.
3.4. Power considerations
The UR3000 and UR3100 mounting frames can house as many HVD3001C03 modules as
will fit in them.
14

Albalá Ingenieros | Manual HVD3001C03
3.5. Installation of SFP modules
The HVD3001C03 features receptacles to install optional SFP modules for signal
transmission or reception over optical fiber or other functions. To install or uninstall one
of these modules in the equipment, follow the instructions given below.
To install, insert the SFP module into the receptacle and slide it carefully until it clicks,
indicating that the module has reached its final position.
To uninstall, first remove any optical or electrical cables that are connected to the SFP
module. Then lift the metal ring located at the opening of the SFP module to disable the
module's retention mechanism and release it. Finally, pull module carefully out of its
receptacle.
There are different types of SFP modules. Make sure that module to be installed is
appropriate for the receptacle that will contain it.
3.6. Installing the module in the mounting frame
The steps needed to install the HVD3001C03 module with the rear board in the
mounting frame are:
1 - Disconnect all power cords from the power supplies of the mounting frame.
2 - Remove the blank panels covering the front and rear of the empty bays chosen for
installing the HVD3001C03 in the mounting frame.
3 - Install the XVD3000P11 rear board ensuring that its 12-pin connectors are properly
aligned with the mounting frame´s mating connectors. Check that the orientation of
the board is correct by looking at the placement of the text printed on it according to
the illustration below.
4 - Attach the rear board to the mounting frame with two M3 metric screws and tighten.
5 - Insert the HVD3001P02 board (main board of the HVD3001C03 module) into the front
of the mounting frame. The edges of the card slide into two plastic guides inside the
mounting frame.
6 - Conector the two fiber optic LC connector pigtails coming from the rear board to the
SFP modules.
7 - Affix the main board to the mounting frame using the two screws included on the
front panel.
After these steps, the module is ready to be connected to other equipment.

3.7. Interconnection
The following figure shows the HVD3001C03 module rear board connector layout.
Rear view of the HVD3001C03
The HVD3001C03 module includes two inputs (IN A,IN B) and four outputs per section
(OUT0-A to OUT3-A,OUT0-B to OUT3-B) for 3G/HD/SD-SDI digital video. When
configured as a single channel one input, eight output distributor only input IN A is used.
The HVD3001C03 also includes rear-panel optical inputs and outputs (B-IN and A-IN
OPTICAL,A-OUT and B-OUT OPTICAL) for SDI video.
The HVD3001C03 also accepts 270 Mbits/s DVB-ASI signals. These signals are polarity
sensitive, and because half of the outputs of the distributor are polarity inverted, only
the non-inverted outputs of each section (OUT0 and OUT2) can be used.
The rear interconnection board is not designed to withstand mechanical stress. The
wiring must be fastened properly to the frame where the mounting frame is housed to
prevent the rear board from supporting the weight of the cables.
17

Albalá Ingenieros | Manual HVD3001C03
3.7.1. Electrical SDI video connections
All electrical SDI video connections are BNC type. The following suggestions should be
kept in mind when wiring the electrical signals.
BNC connectors used on cables must be suitable for the high frequencies of digital
video signals: it is strongly recommended to use high quality connectors from well
known manufacturers.
All coaxial cable used must be Belden 1694A or similar. This type provides the greatest
lengths because it is used to calculate the equalizers in the HVD3001C03. Cables
carrying signal between the module and the devices should use single piece
construction, avoiding spliced sections with double BNC female or barrel connectors.
If it is necessary to split the cable into two sections the same type of wire should be
used in both sections.
The use of analog video coaxial cables RG-59 type or similar is not recommended for
digital video except for very short distances.
3.7.2. Optical SDI video connections
The SFP fiber optic module must be inserted into its housing as described previously
before interconnection.
Optical connections are performed in the SFP module, which is equipped with LC/PC
connectors. Connectors using single-mode fiber optics are usually blue. Connectors
for multimode fiber optics are usually gray.
Singlemode fiber must be used in fiber optic cabling. However, for standard definition
and short lengths multimode fiber can be employed. Before connecting any fiber
optics, the cap that protects the connectors must be removed. Unused fiber optic
connectors should always be covered by the protective cap.
All fiber optic cables have a minimum curvature radius that must be obeyed (consult
the specification of the cabling used) and should be run with enough strain relief to
absorb small, unintended pulling or mechanical stress.
Fiber optic connections are sensitive to dust and dirt. Any dust or dirt particles trapped
in the optical pathway act as attenuators of unknown value and in the worst case can
render the signal unusable. Care must be taken to ensure the cleanliness of and not to
dirty the connectors during insertion and removal of the fiber optic cables.

19

Albalá Ingenieros | Manual HVD3001C03
In the SECTION A and SECTION B box:
NO SIG.: Red. This LED lights up when no input signal is present.
UNLOCK: Red. This LED lights up when the reclocker fails to lock to the input.
OPT.: Green. This LED lights up to indicate that the optical input has been
selected.
ELECT.: Green. This LED lights up to indicate that the electrical input has been
selected.
HD: Green. This LED lights up to indicate that the input signal is HD at
1.5Gbit/s or 3Gbit/s.
LAS. FAIL: Red. This LED lights up to indicate a failure in the laser of the
electrical-to-optical SFP converter module.
4.2. Configuration
The HVD3001C03 includes two sections and can function either as two independent one
input, four output (2x4) distributors or as a single one input, eight output (1x8)
distributor. When operating as a single channel distributor the input for Section B is not
used (regardless of whether the input is electrical or optical) and the Section B indicator
LEDs remain off. If the optional electrical-to-optical SFP converter is installed the two
optical outputs carry the signal from Input A in optical format. The HVD3001C03 comes
from the factory programmed as a dual 2x4 distributor.
The HVD3001C03 can receive optical signals coded as per SMPTE ST 297 when an
optical-to-electrical SFP module is installed. The active input is always indicated by the
front panel LEDs. The HVD3001C03 comes from the factory programmed to distribute
the signal received at the electrical input.
The module can be configured remotely as described in the following section.
