Model 914-X Series Modular Multiplexer System User Manual

Introduction

1.0
The Focal Model 914-X Series Modular Multiplexer System is a compact and rugged video, data and Ethernet
multiplexer and fiber optic transmission system designed for industrial environments and other applications
requiring the transmission of HD video, serial data and Ethernet over an optical link. The 914-X Series has been
optimized for low power operation and delivery of low latency, uncompressed video and Ethernet data.
A series of expansion cards are available, allowing additional composite video channels, serial data channels,
Ethernet ports, as well as many specialty signals such as TTL, hydrophone, CAN bus and custom sonars to be
added to any 914-X Series system without requiring extra fibers or wavelengths.
The rich feature set and vast signal options are packaged in an incredibly small form factor. The credit card size,
along with the geometry and location of the connectors allow the 914-X Series multiplexers to be installed in very
small enclosures. Multiple card systems can be configured either as stacks, or via flexible high speed ribbon cable
providing even further installation flexibility.
This manual provides 914-X Series system users with detailed information relevant to the design,
configuration, installation, and operation of the 914-X Series system. This manual and the appropriate
reference documents should be reviewed prior to installation or configuration of the multiplexer system.
The figures below show different configurations and stacking options of the 914-X series. On the left, the 914-HDE
motherboard is shown stand-alone. On the right, the 914-HDE and expansion cards (914-EX, VDX and AX-232)
are shown stacked together and held into place via standoffs. At the bottom, a similar stack is shown but with a
high-speed ribbon cable to accommodate applications such as bottles or low profile enclosures.
