IQFDA31 Introduction
Issue 1 Rev 1 Page 4 © 2016 SAM
1 Introduction
1.1 Description
The IQFDA31 provides dual HD-SDI 3 Gbit/s, 1.5 Gbit/s, or 270 Mbit/s SD-SDI inputs with
both SDI and fiber optic outputs in a single-width package. Flexible routing of inputs and
outputs allows the module to operate as a single- or dual-channel mixing fiber and copper I/O.
Input signal loss detection enables switching from a main feed to a back-up feed
automatically, providing emergency changeover functionality. Its 80m 3G, 170m HD, and
300m SD input equalization performance and non re-clocking distribution of wide-band
signals make it ideal for all distribution applications.

5 Operation Using the RollCall Control Panel
5.1 Information Window
The Information Window is displayed in the upper-right corner of each screen and displays
basic information about the input and output status of the module.
5.1.1 Unit Status
The Unit Status pane provides basic information about the status of the video inputs, video
outputs, product settings, and status.
5.1.2 SFP Status
Note:
The IQFDA31 will dynamically configure itself depending on rear and SFP options. The
RollCall control panel will change to reflect the current product configuration.
The screens shown in this section are for guidance and reference only, and may be slightly
different to those on your module.
Name Description
IN1:
IN2:
Displays the status of Input 1 and Input 2, the detected
rate, and whether the signal is locked or in bypass mode. If
no valid input is detected, asterisks (**) are displayed.
OUT:
The first line represents the outputs (1–4). The second line
is character aligned with the first and indicates the input
routed to that output. If no valid input signal is detected for
the output, an E is displayed.
Name Description
Type: Shows the type of SFP installed. This is supplemented
with a simple report for each SFP.
Status: Shows the operational status of the SFP.
Connector: Shows the physical connector type, for example, Fiber LC.

5.2 Input
The Input screen enables the inputs and outputs to be configured, and can be used to
determine how the module behaves in the event of an input error.
5.2.1 Input 1 and 2
•SD/DVB-ASI (270 Mb): When selected, the unit will re-clock SD/DVB-ASI (270 Mb)
signals.
•HD (1.5 Gb): When selected, the unit will re-clock HD (1.5 Gb) signals.
•3G (3 Gb): When selected, the unit will re-clock 3G (3 Gb) signals.
•Others: When selected, signals that are not of any of the above rates will be
re-clocked.
•Reclock Bypass: When selected, the unit will not re-clock the input signal. If a
supported rate is detected, the Unit Status will display the detected rate, otherwise, ***
will be displayed.
•Input Select: Use the radio buttons to select the input.
5.2.2 Outputs
Use the radio buttons to specify the input for each of the outputs.
Select Mute On Inp Err to apply a mute to the output if any rate other than those specified as
valid in the Input 1 and Input 2 sections is detected.
Select Mute to manually apply a mute to the output.

5.3 SFP
5.3.1 SFP Transmit
For an SFP transmitter channel, the SFP screen is used to select whether the output is turned
off – either permanently, or when an error condition on the selected input is detected.
5.3.1.1 SFP B Tx
•Output OFF: Enables the fiber optic output to be turned off manually.
•Output OFF- On Input Error: When selected, enables the fiber optic output to be
turned off automatically when the signal is lost at the associated fiber optic receiver
input.
•Tx Power State: Displays the state of the transmitted output signal (options include
OK, WARN:HI, WARN:LO, FAIL:LO and FAIL:HI).
•Tx Power: Displays the signal level of the transmitted output signal (in dBm).
•Tx Wavelength: Displays the wavelength of the transmitted output signal (either 1310
nm or 1550 nm).
•Laser Bias: Displays the bias level (in mA).
•Laser Bias State: Displays the bias state (options include OK, WARN:HI, WARN:LO,
FAIL:LO and FAIL:HI).
5.3.2 SFP Receive
For an SFP receiver channel, the SFP reports the status of the SFP. If a deselected data rate
is presented to the module t will cause an “On Error” condition and the module will handle this
as per its On Error settings on the Translate screen.
5.3.2.1 SFP A Rx
•Rx Power State: Displays the state of the received signal (options include OK,
WARN:HI, WARN:LO, FAIL:LO and FAIL:HI).
•Rx Power: Displays the signal level received at the input (in dBm).
Note:
This screen is only displayed when the module is fitted with a rear that supports SFPs.

5.4 Memory 1-16
The Memory 1-16 screen enables up to 16 setups to be saved and recalled later. Default
memory names can be changed to provide more meaningful descriptions.
5.4.1 Recall Memory
This column lists the settings that have been previously saved. If no settings have been
saved, None Selected is displayed.
To recall the settings saved in a memory:
• In the Recall Memory column, select the memory to recall by clicking on it. The
recalled settings will be applied and the memory name will appear in the Last
Recalled Memory section.
5.4.2 Save Memory
This column lists the 16 pre-set memory names that are available for use.
To save settings:
• In the Save Memory column, select a memory location, and then click Save. The
current settings are saved and the memory appears in the Recall Memory column.
To clear a memory location:
• In the Save Memory column, select a memory location, and then click Clear. The
current settings stored for that memory are cleared. After you clear a memory
location, it disappears from the Recall Memory list.
5.4.3 Last Recalled Memory
The Last Recalled Memory pane displays the most recently recalled memory. If any of the
settings have been changed since it was recalled, an asterisk will be displayed after the
memory name.
Note:
User memories do not recall log field “states” – that is, whether a log value has been
enabled or disabled.

5.4.4 Save Memory Name
This option enables the pre-set memory names to be changed (to something more
memorable or meaningful), if required.
To change a memory name:
• In the Save Memory Name field, type the new memory name, and then click the S
button. To return the memory to its default preset value, click P button.

5.5 Logging
Information about several parameters can be made available to a logging device that is
connected to the RollCall network.
Each logging screen comprises three columns:
•Log Enable: Select the check boxes that correspond to the parameters for which log
information should be collected.
•Log Field: Displays the name of the logging field.
•Log Value: Displays the current log value.
5.5.1 Logging Misc
The Logging Misc screen displays the current log information about the unit’s basic
parameters.
5.5.2 Logging Inputs
The Logging Inputs screen is used to select which fields should be enabled for each of the
serial inputs.

5.5.4 Log Field Descriptions
Log Field Description
SN= The module’s unique serial number.
OS_VERSION= The operating system version.
BUILD_NUMBER= The software build number.
HARDWARE_VERSION The hardware build version.
UPTIME= Shows the time since the last restart (format
ddd:hh:mm:ss).
LICENSED_OPTIONS= The licensed features installed in the module.
ROL_STATES= The status of any RollTracks that have been enabled.
REAR_ID= The rear panel type.
REAR_STATUS= The status of the rear panel.
SLOT_WIDTH= The number of slots used by rear and module.1 or 2.
SLOT_START= The first slot number the rear occupies. Use in
conjunction with SLOT_WIDTH to determine the slots
that the unit occupies.

•OK
• WARN:Mismatch
•FAIL:Lost
•FAIL:Error
Note: WARN:Mismatch indicates that the input and
output standards are not the same.
INPUT_N_SDIRATE= The current bit rate for the serial data input.
SFP_N_TYPE= The transmitter type.
SFP_N_STATUS= The status of the SFPs as reported by the SFPs.

Log Field Description
Note:
Nshould be replaced with the respective SFP/output identifier, for example, 1 for an SFP
and B for an output.
