When power is properly connected, LED will be red.
When there is a problem, LED will blink or not light.
SDIInputLED
 TX SDI LED will be green when the SDI input is
connected to a valid SDI signal.
 RX SDI LED will be green when the SDI output is
transming a valid SDI signal and the transmier
and receiver are properly connected with a fiber cable.

CMX-3G-4SDI Set Up Instructions
1. Secure the units in a safe locaon, where they will not be subject to impact and where there is
room around the unit so nothing will interfere with the fiber opc cabling causing it to bend sharply
in a ght radius in any way which can severely affect the signal transfer.
2. Carefully connect your source(s) to the transmier input(s) and the receiver unit output(s) to your
receiving device input(s) using the BNC connectors on the transmier and on the receiver unit.
3. CLEAN* the ST fiber opcal cable contacts that will be used for connecng the Tx and Rx units and
aach the fiber cable to the ST connecons and secure, as you would secure a bayonet BNC. While
pressing lightly in on the connector, twist it in a clockwise direcon about 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn and
then release. The connector should stay inserted and have backwards spring pressure holding the
bayonet in place.
4. Connect the included power supplies to the transmier & receiver units, and plug them both into
an AC power source.
* CLEAN: All fiber opcal cable contacts (the end that is inserted and makes contact to enable light
wave transmission through the fiber) require cleaning each me before inserng into a device’s out‐
puts or inputs. Failure to clean the contacts can damage the unit’s opcs over me and also render the
cable and the device nonoperaonal.
Use cleaning kits designed specifically for fiber opcs. Other cleaners may add contaminants not seen
by the naked eye which could damage cables and/or equipment.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equipment to high humidity and dust. Do not
use in an unprotected outdoor installaon nor any area classified as overly damp.
2. The temperature for installaon should be kept between 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C). Avoid direct
sunlight exposure or extreme changes of temperature over a short period of me.
3. Do not disassemble the unit or place it on an unstable base.
4. Do not drop the unit and avoid heavy impact.
5. This unit should not be permanently installed unless proper venlaon is provided. Any enclo‐
sure openings must not be blocked or covered as they protect the unit from overheang.
6. Before cleaning, turn offthe power and unplug the unit from all connecons. Use a damp
cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
7. Do not overload outlets and extension cords as this may result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
8. Enclosure entry is dangerous. Never push objects of any kind, including liquids, into this unit
through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short‐out parts that could
result in a fire or electric shock.
9. Do not aempt to open or service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage and other hazards.
10. There are no user‐serviceable parts inside the unit. If the unit requires service contact your au‐
thorized dealer, or an authorized repair service company.
