Introduction
The Focal Model 914 High Definition Video Multiplexer (914-HDE) is a compact and rugged video, data and
Ethernet multiplexer and fiber optic transmission system designed for industrial environments and other
applications requiring the transmission of HD video, data and Ethernet over an optical link. The 914-HDE has
been optimized for low power operation and delivery of low latency, uncompressed 3G/HD/SD-SDI video.
A series of expansion cards are available, allowing additional composite video channels, serial data channels,
and Ethernet ports to be added to any 914-HDE system without requiring extra fibers of wavelengths.
This manual provides 914-HDE users with detailed information relevant to the design, configuration, installation,
and operation of the 914-HDE system. This manual and the appropriate reference documents should be
reviewed prior to installation or configuration of the multiplexer system.

Setup Check List
The purpose of this section is to provide a check list that can be followed to setup 914-HDE systems both
physically and through electronic configuration. Details regarding each step can be found in the manual via the
referenced section links.
1. Expansion cards:
a. 914-VDX: Set dip switch to appropriate setting, refer to Section 5.1.6.
i. The (bottom) card closest to the 914-HDE should be set to OFF, OFF (Expansion 1).
2. Mounting cards:
a. 4 mm minimum clearance under the 914-HDE.
b. 16.15 mm (nominal) standoffs of 2-56 type between cards.
c. Thermal gap material to provide conductive cooling to an enclosure should be placed under
the 914-HDE.
d. Refer to Section 7.1.
3. Connect console to remote via LC to LC fiber jumper. For short links, attenuation is required. 10 dB is
the suggested minimum attenuation in the fiber link. For flux budget calculations refer to Section 3.8.1.
4. Connect the diagnostic port on console 914-HDE to a local COM port of a computer running the 914
Diagnostic GUI. Refer to Section 4.0.
5. Connect the 914-HDE to a DC power supply with 5 V to 12 V power. Refer to Section 3.2. Verify all
system voltages in the 914 Diagnostic GUI.
6. Configure all cards via Diagnostic GUI:
a. Configure console HDE
i. Serial protocol. Refer to Section 4.1.2.
ii. Ethernet auto-negotiate settings. Refer to Section 4.1.3.
b. Configure console VDX
i. Remote vs console. Refer to Section 5.1.7.
ii. Video direction. Refer to Section 5.1.7.
iii. Serial protocol. Refer to Section 5.1.8.
c. Configure remote HDE
i. Serial protocol. Refer to Section 4.1.2.
ii. Ethernet auto-negotiate settings. Refer to Section 4.1.3.
d. Configure remote VDX
i. Remote vs console. Refer to Section 5.1.7.
ii. Video direction. Refer to Section 5.1.7.
iii. Serial protocol. Refer to Section 5.1.8.
e. Turn the power off, wait 10 seconds and power up again. Confirm settings using the 914
Diagnostic GUI.
7. Connect video, Ethernet and serial as required. Verify plug status and activity in the 914 Diagnostic
GUI.
a. HD Video –Refer to Section 3.3.
b. Ethernet –Refer to Section 3.5.
c. Serial Ports –Refer to Section 3.4.
d. Composite Video –Refer to Section 5.1.2.
8. Perform bench level testing to verify links. Refer to troubleshooting Section 10.0.
9. Install cards in system, ensure good thermal contact via mounting hardware, thermal gap pads, and
heat spreaders. Refer to Section 7.3.
10. Verify and monitor the FPGA and SFP temperatures and voltages during operation. All values should
remain in green.

System Overview
914-HDE systems are used as pairs (one remote and one console) to provide a transparent HD video and data
link over optical fiber(s). The installed optical transceivers determine the maximum optical link speed, fiber type,
number of fibers (1 or 2), and link distance. The card version sets the operational bandwidth, which is
independent from the optical data rate. The optical link uses a proprietary data protocol ensuring reliable
transmission with extremely low latency using highly efficient and dynamic bandwidth utilization.
Typically, the uplink (remote to console) and downlink (console to remote) are combined on a single fiber –
multimode or singlemode (standard) –with a passive optical coupler known as a wavelength division multiplexer
(WDM). Standard systems operate with 1310 nm uplink and 1550 nm downlink wavelengths. In larger systems,
multiple 914-HDE units may be combined on a single fiber using a coarse wavelength division multiplexer
(CWDM) to take advantage of the high bandwidth of optical fiber.
Figure 3-1 illustrates an example of a 914-HDE system configuration using a standard, standalone 914-HDE,
which supports the multiplexing of one (1) 3G/HD/SD-SDI channels, two (2) bidirectional RS-232 / RS-485 /
RS-422 serial data channels and one (1) Gigabit Ethernet channel over a single optical fiber.
Note that the HD video source (e.g. from an HD camera) is connected at the remote end. The HD video output
is provided at the console end (e.g. to an HD monitor).
The expansion connector supports 6 expansion card ports: 2 low speed and 4 medium speed ports. Optional
expansion cards are detailed in Section 5.0.
The external fiber optic system includes optical components such as optical connectors and a Fiber Optic Rotary
Joint (FORJ).
