Application Diagram ..
* The distance depends on the quality of the SDI signal from the HD camera source and also the Coax
Cable & Connector
Install Guide :
1) Connect the SDI source (such as SDI CAM ) to the SDI IN of Transmitter
2) Connect the SDI out of Receiver to HDTV display or SDI device like SDI converter ,SDI
DVR
3) Use the quality FC patch cord to connect FC connector of the transmitter and Receiver
and then connect to the fiber-optic cable pigtail
4) Connect the output data port of Receiver (eg. TX+ and TX-) of other control device
such as Keyboard to the RX+ and RX- of the RX.
Connect the input data port of transmitter (eg. RX+ and RX-) of other under- controlled
device s such as SDI camera to the TX+ and TX- of the TX. GND in both TX and RX should
be connected directly to user’s equipment.
5) Plug two pieces of 12V power supply into the transmitter and Receiver.
6) Power on the other devices like SDI camera and SDI DVR , HDTV monitor ect

IMPORTANT NOTE: Cable & Connector for HD Camera
In order to achieve the Best Quality and Long Range coax cable run of up to 200m /
600ft, you will need:
1. Good Quality Cable: We suggest using RG6 Belden 1694A Low Loss Serial Digital
coax cable because RG6 cables have better grounding than RG59 cables. RG6 is
for Digital Signal and RG59 is for Analog Signal.
2. Good Quality BNC Connectors: Contact Plating Gold plated pins provide
exceptional conductivity.
3. Good Quality Installation: Do not over cut the braid because it will affect the
grounding. The image will have lines and noise.
