1 Product overview
The flashlink®SDI-OE-2 is a dual multi bit-rate optical to electrical converter
module providing high performance media conversion for various signal
formats from 19.4Mbps up to 540Mbps. This state of the art unit offers a high
sensitivity PIN diode technology with long wavelength on single mode fiber.
Unmatched signal accuracy, even in critical applications with pathological
signal patterns makes the HD-OE-2 the first choice for all optical transport
demands.
The SDI-OE-2 can transport all SD signal formats in addition to DVB-ASI and
SMPTE 310. It performs optical refreshing and signal reclocking, which is
selectable on application. The optical input comes with a sophisticated PIN
diode with a sensitivity typically better than –30dBm operating in the 2nd and
3rd optical windows. The open system platform of Network Electronics
flashlink®system allows easy interoperability with third party fiber optical
systems.
The two independent electrical outputs are equipped with a distribution
amplifier where 2 outputs reduces the need for additional DA’s.

The SDI-OE-2 can support a number of different broadcast formats. The
correct configuration can either be set with a DIP switch or with the GYDA
Control System. The layout of SDI-OE-2 is shown in the drawing below with
the DIP switch to the upper left position.

4 Connector module
The SDI-OE-2 has a dedicated connector module: HD-EO-2-C1. This module
is mounted at the rear of the sub-rack. The module is shown in the figure
below.
Figure 5: Connector module for SDI-OE-2.
In typical use a SDI-EO-2 / SDI-OE-2 module at each end will be used. Two
channels simultaneously can be converted from optical to electrical channels
The electrical input signal is connected to the INx input on the transmitting
SDI-EO-2, and the electrical output is connected to corresponding the OUTx+
or OUTx- output BNC on the receiving SDI-OE-2. The fibre cable is connected
to the corresponding optical port (OPT1 uses IN1/OUT1- and OUT1+ and
OPT2 uses IN2/OUT2- and OUT2+).
4.1 Mounting the connector module
The details of how the connector module is mounted, is found in the user
manual for the sub-rack frame FR-2RU-10-2.
This manual is also available from our web site:
http://www.network-electronics.com/.

4.2 Terminal format support
The different input and output ports on SDI-OE-2 can support a number of
formats. The table below shows which signal formats are supported on the
selected terminals.

∗SDI-OE-2 has a “Transparent mode”. In this mode all reclockers are switched off and no jitter attenuation
will be performed. This mode may be used for non-standard or unsupported bit rates over shorter
distances and up to 1 Gbps.

5 Module status
The status of the module can be monitored in three ways.
1. GYDA System Controller (optional).
2. GPI at the rear of the sub-rack.
3. LED’s at the front of the sub-rack.
Of these three, the GPI and the LED’s are mounted on the module itself,
whereas the GYDA System Controller is a separate module giving detailed
information on the card status. The functions of the GPI and the LED’s are
described in sections 5.1 and 5.2. The GYDA controller is described in a
separate user manual.
5.1 GPI Alarm – Module status outputs
These outputs can be used for wiring up alarms for third party control systems.
The GPI outputs are open collector outputs, sinking to ground when an alarm
is triggered. The GPI connector is shown in figure below.

5.2 Front panel – Status monitoring
The status of the module can be easily monitored visually by the LED’s at the
front of the module. The LED’s are visible through the front panel as shown in
the figure below.
Figure 7: Front panel indicators for the SDI-OE-2.
The SDI-OE-2 has 4 LED’s each showing a status corresponding to the GPI
pinning.

6 Laser safety precautions
Guidelines to limit hazards from laser exposure.
All the available EO units in the flashlinkrange include a laser.
Therefore this note on laser safety should be read thoroughly.
The lasers emit light at 1310 nm or 1550 nm. This means that the human eye
cannot see the beam, and the blink reflex cannot protect the eye. (The human
eye can see light between 400 nm to 700 nm).
A laser beam can be harmful to the human eye (depending on laser power
and exposure time), therefore:
Instruments exist to verify light output power: Power meters, IR-cards etc.
Flashlinkfeatures:
All the laser module cards in the flashlinkproduct range, are Class 1
laser products according to IEC 825-1 1993, and class I according to
21 CFR 1040.10 when used in normal operation.
More details can be found in the user manual for the FR-2RU-10-2 frame.
Maximum output power1: 5 mW.
Operating wavelengths: > 1270 nm.
< 5mW
>1270nm
1Max power is for safety analysis only and does not represent device performance.
Note!
BE CAREFUL WHEN CONNECTING / DISCONNECTING
FIBER PIGTAILS (ENDS).
NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE PIGTAIL OF THE
LASER/FIBER.
NEVER USE MICROSCOPES, MAGNIFYING GLASSES OR
EYE LOUPES TO LOOK INTO A FIBER END.
USE LASER SAFETY GOGGLES BLOCKING LIGHT AT
1310 nm AND AT 1550 nm.
