Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The HD-SDI Fiber Extender Kit allows HD-SDI to be transmitted up to 1,000 ft (300m)
via a single multimode fiber and up to 6.6mi (10km) via a one singlemode fiber cable in
a point-to-point configuration at all specified bit rates.
The HD-SDI Fiber Extender Kit supports transmission of up to 2.97/3.0 Gbps digital
video within television facilities and between professional video equipment.
Applications
Video production, broadcasting, SDI camcorder, studio-to-studio, post-production,
live events, medical imaging displays, mobile video, HD/SD routing, HD CCTV,
medical imaging.

Installation
1. Identify the connectors on the Transmitter (LC Fiber out) and Receiver (LC FIBER in)
as indicated on the product labels.
2. Verify that the distance between the Transmitter and Receiver is within MuxLab
specifications (see Specifications table).
3. To install the Transmitter:
3a. Connect the Transmitter to the SDI video source with a BNC 75-ohm coaxial
cable.
3b. Remove the white protective plug from the fiber connector. Connect one
multimode or singlemode optical fiber cable with LC connector. Keep the plug
and put it back if the fiber is not present.
3c. DO NOT LOOK into the fiber or module when the power is on.
3d. Connect the external power supply or the Hirose power cable if being powered by
an SDI camcorder that supports the Hirose interface. The power cable has a
locking mechanism, push the plug and rotate it until it locks.
4. To install the Receiver:
4a. Connect the Receiver to the SDI display equipment with a BNC 75 ohm compliant
cable.
4b. Remove the white protective plug from the fiber connector. Keep the plug and put
it back if the fiber is not present. Connect the other side of the fiber.
4c. Connect the external power supply.
4d. Power-up the equipment and verify the image quality. Verify that both power
LEDs are on. With a valid source check the transmitter side that the signal
LED is on, and on the receiver side that the signal LED is on.
Troubleshooting
The following table describes some of the symptoms, probable causes and possible solutions
in respect to the installation of the HD-SDI Extender Kit:
LEDS Status Possible cause Action
On both
unit:
Power
OFF No AC power or
defective power supply.
Try swapping the two power
supplies.
On TX:

ohm and length must be less than
330 ft (100m).
On RX:
Signal
OFF No source signal or
incompatible signal.
Fiber not connected or
broken.
Remote unit off or
defective.
