2 Getting Started
We recommend that you:
•Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging
materials for possible future shipment
•Review the contents of this user manual
Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com to check for up-to-date
user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware
upgrades are available (where appropriate).
2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
•Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often
associated with low quality cables)
•Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
•Position your Kramer product away from moisture, excessive sunlight and
dust
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.
The customer can replace any SFP module with a standard SFP
module but Kramer guarantees correct operation only with Kramer
supplied modules.
SFP modules must be of the same type: either MSA or non-MSA.
Only modules Laser Class I acc. 21 CFR 1040 and Class 1 per IEC
60825-1 are allowed in this product.

2.2 Safety Instructions
Caution: There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit
Warning: Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall
adapter that is provided with the unit
Warning: Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall
before installing
2.3 Recycling Kramer Products
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC
aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by
requiring it to be collected and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive,
Kramer Electronics has made arrangements with the European Advanced
Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and
recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on arrival at the EARN
facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular country

4 690T, 690R - Overview
3 Overview
The 690T is a high-performance fiber optic transmitter for SD-SDI, HD-SDI and
3G-SDI signals. The unit converts up to two channels of serial digital signals to
light pulses that are transmitted over a dual single mode cable to a 690R receiver
that converts them back to serial digital signals. The 690T and the 690R pair have
a transmission range of 10km (more than 6.2 miles) for 3G-SDI.
The 690T and the 690R feature:
•A maximum data rate of up to 3Gbps, enabling it to be used for standard
definition, high definition and the new 3G high definition serial digital video
signals (3G-SDI)
•Two SDI gold-plated BNC connectors each for the transmitter and the receiver
•SD-SDI, HD-SDI and 3G-SDI support of video pathological patterns for
SMPTE 259M, SMPTE 344M, SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 297-2006
Standard Definition (SD-SDI)means an NTSC or PAL compatible video format,
consisting of 480 (for NTSC) or 576 (for PAL) lines of interlaced video
High Definition (HD-SDI)means a video format, consisting of 720 active lines of
progressive video or 1080 lines of progressive or interlaced video
3G-SDI means a video format, consisting of 1080 lines of progressive video
•Support of data rates of 270Mbps, 1483.5Mbps, 1485Mbps and 2970Mbps
•SMPTE 297-2006 compatible electrical-to-optical interfaces
•HDTV compatibility
•Reclocking and equalization on each channel
•Cable equalization up to 200m for 1.5GHz HD signals, and 100m for 3GHz
HD signals
•Only modules Laser Class I acc. 21 CFR 1040 and Class 1 per IEC 60825-1
are allowed in this product.
•5V DC power adapters and housing in Kramer Pico TOOLS™ enclosures.
Four units can be rack mounted side−by−side in a 1U rack space with the
optional RK-4PT rack adapter

6 690T, 690R - Connecting the 690T and the 690R
4 Connecting the 690T and the 690R
Always switch off the power to any device before connecting it to your
690T and/or 690R. After connecting your 690T and/or 690R connect
the power and then switch on the power to the device.
To connect the 690T and the 690R as illustrated in the example in Figure 3:
1. Connect up to two SDI sources (for example, 3G-SDI video players) to the
two SDI INconnectors.
2. Connect the two SDI OUT connectors to up to two SDI acceptors (for
example, 3G-SDI displays).
The SDI 1 IN source signal on the 690T is always routed to the SDI
1 OUT acceptor on the 690R and the SDI 2 IN source signal on the
690T is always passed to the SDI 2 OUT acceptor on the 690R
3. Remove the dust caps and connect the OPTIC CABLE connector of the
690T to the OPTIC CABLE connector of the 690R, via dual single mode
cable (9/12) over LC connectors (a maximum range of 10km (more than 6.2
miles)).
4. Connect the power adapter to the 5V DC socket and to the mains electricity
for both the 690T and the 690R (not shown in Figure 3).
