INTRODUCTION
The EX-36KRM 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI Fiber Extender with Bi-Directional RS232 is an ideal and
economic solution designed for transmission of multi-rate SDI video, with embedded audio and
metadata over a single-mode fiber optic cable. The transmitter module receives one 12G/6G/3G/HD/SDI
electrical input, perfectly converts SMPTE 292M, SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 424M, SMPTE 2082 or DVB-ASI
electrical SDI signal to single-mode optic SDI signals. The receiver module receives optical signal from
input SFP connector, and then perfectly converts it to electrical SDI signal. EX-36KRM is immune to
pathological pattern (SMPTE RP-198) without introducing any flickers, and this feature further
guarantees the transmission quality over optical fibers.
Both transmitter and receiver provide equalizing and re-clocking at input unit in order to re-
construct the signal for consistent quality. The EX-36KRM is perfect for today’s broadcast applications,
including video production, video editing, studio to studio and studio to CATV head end. EX-36KRM is also
equipped with bi-directional RS-232 serial port control. This bonus features allow users to boost RS-232
control distance up to 10km (32800ft) through Optical fiber cable with SDI signals. In addition, since
transmission of content is inherently secure and immune to outside interference, fiber applications are
favored in government, military, and medical environments.
