  • Page 10: System Overview

    Model 914-HDE User Manual System Overview 914-HDE systems are used as pairs (one remote and one console) to provide a transparent HD video and data link over optical fiber(s). The installed optical transceivers determine the maximum optical link speed, fiber type, number of fibers (1 or 2), and link distance.

    Model 914-HDE User Manual Figure 3-2 shows the top view of a 914-HDE card with user interface connectors highlighted. The remote and console 914 cards are physically identical; the only difference between them is the EEPROM configuration and optical transceiver. The 914-HDE does not use physical DIP switches for system configuration and settings. All settings are accessed via the Model 914 Diagnostic GUI and are saved in non-volatile memory.
