12G HD-SDI 101 • Setup Guide
Introduction
This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer
to set up and operate the Extron 12G HD-SDI 101, a cable
equalizer for SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, 6G-SDI, and 12G-SDI digital
video.
The Extron 12G HD-SDI 101 is a 1 input, 1 output HD-SDI signal
equalizer that can recondition and equalize digital video signals
up to 12G-SDI due to losses incurred from long cable runs. The
equalizer is typically placed at the end of a long cable run.
Installation
Mounting the Unit
Mounting instructions can be found in Mounting the Equalizer on page 3. Compatible optional hardware is listed on the Extron
website (www.extron.com).
ATTENTION:
• Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.
• L’installation et l’entretien doivent être effectués par le personnel autorisé uniquement.

APower connector — Connect the provided external 12 VDC, 6 watt power supply to this 2-pole, orange, 3.5 mm captive
screw connector. See Power Connector Wiring on the next page.
BHD-SDI input — This female BNC connector accepts an HD-SDI input.
The maximum length from the signal source to the 12G HD-SDI 101 input varies, dependent on the input:
Format Max. length Format Max. length
12G SDI 230 feet (70 m) HD-SDI 787 feet (240 m)
6G SDI 295 feet (90 m) SDI 984 feet (300 m)
3G SDI 590 feet (180 m)
NOTE: The maximum signal transmission distance depends on signal resolution, the source, the display, and the quality
of the cable.

CAUTION:
ATTENTION :
• The wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.
• Les deux cordons d’alimentation doivent être tenus à l’écart l’un de l’autre quand l’alimentation est branchée.
• The length of exposed wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).
• Any longer and the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them.
• Any shorter and the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.
• La longueur des câbles exposés est importante. La longueur idéale est de 5mm (3/16inches).
• S’ils sont un peu plus longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court circuit.
• S’ils sont un peu plus courts, ils pourraient sortir, même s’ils sont attachés par les vis captives.
• Do not tin the power supply leads before installing them in the connector. Tinned wires are not as secure in the
connector and could be pulled out.
• Ne pas étamer les conducteurs avant de les insérer dans le connecteur. Les câbles étamés ne sont pas aussi bien xés
dans le connecteur et pourraient être retirés.
ATTENTION:
• If not provided with a power supply, this product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed power source marked “Class
2” or “LPS”, rated output 12 VDC min. 0.1A. Always use a power supply supplied by or specied by Extron. Use of an
unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certication and may cause damage to the supply and the
end product.
• Si le produit n’est pas fourni avec une source d’alimentation, il doit être alimenté par une source d’alimentation certiée
UL de classe 2 ou LPS, avec une tension nominale 12 Vcc, 0.1 A minimum. Utilisez toujours une source d’alimentation
fournie ou recommandée par Extron. L’utilisation d’une source d’alimentation non autorisée annule toute conformité
réglementaire et peut endommager la source d’alimentation ainsi que le produit nal.
• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities.
• Sauf mention contraire, les adaptateurs AC/DC ne sont pas appropriés pour une utilisation dans les espaces d’aération
ou dans les cavités murales.
• The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70,
article 725 and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently xed to a
building structure or similar structure.
• Cette installation doit toujours être en accord avec les mesures qui s’applique au National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA70, article725, et au Canadian Electrical Code, partie1, section16. La source d’alimentation ne devra pas
être xée de façon permanente à une structure de bâtiment ou à une structure similaire.

ATTENTION:
• Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the power supply and the unit. The ridges
on the side of the cord (see figure 2 on the previous page) identify the power cord negative lead.
• La polarité de la source d’alimentation est primordiale. Une polarité incorrecte pourrait endommager la source
d’alimentation et l’unité. Les stries sur le côté du cordon (voir l’illustration 2 sur la page 2) permettent de repérer le pôle
négatif du cordon d’alimentation.
To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.
Mounting the Equalizer
ATTENTION:
• Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.
• L’installation et l’entretien doivent être effectués par le personnel autorisé uniquement.
The 1-inch high, eighth-rack width 12G HD-SDI 101 cable equalizer can be placed on a table, mounted in a rack, or mounted
under a desk or table.
Tabletop Use
Afx the included rubber feet to the bottom of the unit and place it in any convenient location.
Mounting Kits
Mount the unit using any optional compatible mounting kit listed on the 12G HD-SDI 101 product page at www.extron.com, in
accordance with the directions included with the kit. For rack mounting, see “UL rack-mounting guidelines” below.
UL rack-mounting guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the unit into a rack.
• Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (TMA = +122 °F, +50 °C) specied by Extron.
• Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air ow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved
due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the
effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
• Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as use of power strips).
Troubleshooting
If no image appears:
• Ensure that all devices are plugged in and powered on. The equalizer is receiving power if its power LED is lit.
• Ensure an active input is applied to the equalizer.
• Ensure that the proper signal format is supplied.
• Check the cabling and make corrections as necessary.
• Call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline if necessary. See the Extron website for the Extron ofce nearest you.
