IRT-6630-DTR OPERATIONAL SAFETY WARNING Operation of electronic equipment involves the use of voltages and currents that may be dangerous to human life. Note that under certain conditions dangerous potentials may exist in some circuits when power controls are in the OFF position.
IRT-6630-DTR openGear® INTRODUCTION Developed by Ross Video, openGear® is a standard where various manufacturers can design their equipment to fit a common frame allowing the end user to mix and match the various openGear® cards available in the market place together in one frame. This allows a single frame to be used instead of multiple different vendor’s frames that each would otherwise be using their own proprietary standard.
The IRT-6630-DTR is designed to fit the openGear® standard 2RU frames which allow a mixture of cards from various manufacturers to be mounted within the same frame.
With WDM option fitted for combined use on a single fibre, optical path loss is reduced by approximately 2dB. With WDM module fitted, when operating as a pair, one IRT-6630-DTR must be fitted with a 1310nm laser and the other a 1550nm laser.
SC/PC connector is provided with both transmit and receive functions occurring on a single fibre. When operating the IRT-6630-DTR as a pair with the WDM option fitted, one unit must be fitted with a 1310nm (or 1260- 1360nm) optical transceiver and the other with a 1550nm (or 1520-1600nm) optical transceiver.
IRT-6630-DTR Front Edge LED and Switch Locations Green/Red LED: GREEN – Communication with frame’s Network card. RED - No communication with Network card / No Network card. Front Edge LED Indicators Tx Laser (Present – Green; Failure – Red) Rx Input (Present –...
Rear Assembly Layouts The OUT 1 BNC connector of the IRT-6630-DTR is used either as a receiver (Rx) output or a transmitter (Tx) monitoring port - dependent upon the SW1-8 DIP switch setting as described in the Configuration section of this manual.
A 2.97 Gb/s 3G-SDI signal, 1.485 Gb/s HD-SDI signal or a 270 Mb/s type of signal, such as ASI or SDI, is connected to a 75 Ω BNC connector (IN 1) on the rear assembly of the IRT-6630-DTR fibre optic transceiver. Front edge LEDs indicates the presence and data rate of a valid input signal.
Tx data rate was set for SD only operation, then both the HD and 3G LEDs will alternatively flash. Laser failure on the IRT-6630-DTR is indicated by a red illuminated LASER LED at the top of the board. In the above example there is no laser failure as indicated by the green illuminated LASER LED.
4 is highlighted. All sections and tabs to the right of the basic tree view now relate to the card in slot position 4, in this case the IRT-6630-DTR transceiver. The name of the switcher, in this case IRT-6630-DTR, can be set under the Configuration TAB setting.

IRT-6630-DTR Status TAB: Status TAB shows the Optical Status & Optical Component of both the transmitter’s laser (Optical 1) and the receiver’s detector (Optical 2). The signal status of both the transmitter and receiver are also shown. The Alias (name) of the transmitter inputs (Channel Tx &...

IRT-6630-DTR Config TAB: Under the Configuration TAB parameters such as Product Alias (name) and channel names (Channel Tx, Channel Rx & Channel Tx2) can be user set. Click computer mouse into the field to change and type new name. If DIP switch SW1-7 has been set for DashBoard™ control, parameters such as the transmitter and receiver data rates can be set as well as Auto Change Over mode to automatically switch to input 2 on loss of input 1, and whether the OUT 1 output acts as a monitor port for the transmitter or a second receiver output.
NMS software - see I.R.T. Communications website (www.irtcommunications.com) for MIB download. The MIB file for the IRT-6630-DTR is a common MIB file for the family of IRT-6630 fibre links and is named IRT-663x-Dxx. Not all parameters in the MIB file relate to this card.
