FIO-1821-13
DESCRIPTION
The FIO-1821-13 is a serial digital video-to-fiber module
for the Densité frame. The FIO-1821-13 is designed for
SD and HD serial video as well as compressed bit-
streams. It supports any data rate in the range 5 Mbps
to 1.5 Gbps and provides a single fiber Tx. The FIO-
1821-13 can be installed in the same chassis as a series
of interface modules, providing a wide variety of video,
audio and data conversion and multiplexing functions.
This card operates with the MSB-1121 Monitoring
Switching Bridge which allows the output of any module
in the Densité frame to be monitored.

INSTALLATION
Make sure you have ordered and received the FIO-1821-
13 and its associated rear panel. If any of the following
items are missing, contact your distributor or Miranda
Technologies Inc.
* FIO-1821-13 Internal Audio Reference DA
* FIO-1821-13-SRP Rear Panel (see figure)
The FIO-1821-13 must be mounted in a DENSITÉ frame.
The installation includes both the FIO-1821-13 module,
and the rear panel module. It is not necessary to switch
off the power from these frames when installing or
removing the FIO-1821-13.
Note 1 : Before attempting to install the FIO-1821-13
module in the Densité frame, ensure that protective caps
on the fiber ends of the SC connectors have been
removed prior to shipping, otherwise remove them.
Note 2: If the loop-through output is not used, terminate
it with a 75 Ωtermination.
Detailed instructions for installing cards and their
associated rear panels in the Densité frame are given in
the Densité Frame manual.
OPERATION
Overview
The DENSITÉ frame incorporates a central controller
card, located in the center of the frame, it is equipped
with an LCD display and a control panel. The controller
handles error reporting and local and remote control for
all cards installed in the frame. The display and control
panel are assigned to the card in the frame whose
SELECT button has been pushed.
User Interface
Pushing the SELECT button will cause the on-card
STATUS LED to flash yellow, and the card identification
and the current status will be shown on the controller
card’s display. The STATUS LED will revert to it’s normal
state upon a second push of the button, or after a short
delay. The messages which may appear are shown in
the top line of the menu chart on page 3
Status Monitor LED
The status monitor LED is located on the front card-edge
of the FIO-1821-13 module, and is visible through the
front access door of the DENSITÉ frame. This multi-color
LED indicates module status by color, and by
flashing/steady illumination, according to the following
chart (which also indicates fault reporting for this card on
the DENSITÉ frame’s serial and GPI interfaces).
A “Flashing Yellow” Status LED indicates that the
SELECT button on the front panel has been pushed, and
the controller display and control panel are now assigned
to this card.
The LED color assignments for some error conditions
can be reconfigured by the user (see the chart and menu
for details).
Example :
-SELECT button pushed twice when there is no input
signal connected to the rear panel and the LED is
steady red:
Use the local control panel to access the detailed
status report shown in the STATUS menu next page.

OPERATION (cont’d)
STATUS menu
Displays status of the different board alarms, even if not
configured to activate the STATUS Led. ALL OK indicates
an absence of alarm.
NO REAR: indicates an absence of the rear panel or an
incompatibility between the module and the rear panel. The
STATUS led turns on flashing red.
NO SIGNAL: indicates an absence of input signal.
UNKNOW RATE: the input signal data rate is not recognized
by the module.
143 Mb, 270 Mb, 360 Mb, 540 Mb, 1.48 Gb: indicates the
input signal data rate.
Tx: OK, FAIL: indicates the status of the optical
transmission.
VERSION: FIO-1821 : XXX.000: microcontroller firmware
version.
CONFIG menu
Tx: enables or disables the optical transmission of the video
input signal.
CONFIGURE ALARM menu
It is possible to associate the STATUS Led color and/or GPI
relay activation to each detected error.
Alarm relay activation depends of the ENABLE selection of
the controller board menu GPI REPORT.

ALARM LEVEL: Associates to each error the STATUS led
color: GREEN, YELLOW, RED and FLASH RED. This
selection has no influence on the STATUS menu display.
ALARM REPORT: The default value NONE is assigned to
errors. Alarm relay activation will be associated to an error
when GPI is set.
