2408RGBT/DVIT RGBHV/DVI Portable SFP Fiber Transmitter 1.1. SETTING UP THE DDC VALUE DDC (Display Data Channel) is a series of protocols that enables plug and play communication between a graphics adapter and a computer monitor. It allows the display to communicate its supported display modes and display parameters to the graphics adapter.
An industry-standard DB-15 connector adapter may be used for RGB. Figure 2-1 shows all rear plate options for the 2408RGBT/DVIT. When installing the Evertz SFP module into the rear plate SFP housing, align the transmit and receive arrow indicators UPWARDS with the 2408RGBT/DVIT module upright.
DB-15 to DVI-I adapter such as the Belkin F2E4162, or appropriately terminated cable assembly such as the Amp 16539332-1. Note: When making digital DVI connections, Evertz recommends using only high quality DVI cables, no longer than 6 feet (1.8m). AUDIO INPUTS (A2 Version): The 2408RGBT/DVIT-A2 module provides a terminal block for input connections compatible with either balanced or unbalanced analog audio.
Triangular band: black Symbol: black 2.4.2. Assembly Assembly or repair of the laser sub-module is performed only at the Evertz facility by qualified Evertz technical personnel. 2.4.3. Labeling Certification and Identification labels are combined into one label. As there is not enough room on the product to place the label, it is reproduced here in the manuals.
The transmission characteristics of the fiber are dependent on the shape of the optical core and therefore care must be taken to prevent fiber damage caused by heavy objects or abrupt fiber bending. Evertz recommends that you maintain a minimum bending radius of 5 cm to avoid fiber-bending loss that will decrease the maximum attainable distance of the fiber cable.

2408RGBT/DVIT RGBHV/DVI Portable SFP Fiber Transmitter CARD-EDGE MONITORING AND CONTROL 4.1. ACCESSING THE TOGGLE SWITCH AND PUSH BUTTON To expose the card edge controls you must remove the side panel. To do so, follow the instructions listed below: 1. Locate the two screws on the top (near the front) of the 2408 unit, as shown in Figure 4-1.
4.2. CARD EDGE OPERATION The 2408RGBT/DVIT has six LED status indicators and a four-digit dot-matrix display on the front card- edge to show the card’s operational status at a glance. The card-edge pushbutton and toggle switch are used to select various control and status indicators on the dot-matrix display. Figure 4-4 shows the locations of the indicators and controls.
2408RGBT/DVIT RGBHV/DVI Portable SFP Fiber Transmitter 4.3. STATUS INDICATOR LEDS LOCAL FAULT: This red LED indicates poor module health. Several conditions could cause this fault indication to be active: o Laser fault o Input video not present o A card power fault exists (i.e. a blown fuse) This LOCAL FAULT indication can also be reported to the frame by setting the FRAME STATUS jumper.
Figure 4-5: 2408RGBT Card Edge Menu 4.4.1. Card-Edge Display Warning Indications There are flashing warning indicators that may appear on the display of the 2408RGBT/DVIT. These warning indicators can overwrite other displayed text. Pressing the pushbutton will clear a warning indicator from the display and allow access to other menu items.
0-31: 4.4.4. Selecting Link Rate In applications with 3G routing, the Link Rate of the 2408RGBT/DVIT must be 2970Mb/s to be compatible with 3G routers. Two user selectable Link Rates may be chosen, 2970Mb/s for routing purposes and 3125Mb/s for normal operation.
2408RGBT/DVIT RGBHV/DVI Portable SFP Fiber Transmitter 4.4.5. Setting Input RGB Gain (2408RGBT Models Only) When RGB video is applied, the Input ADC Gain level can be adjusted to affect the brightness of the RGB video seen out of the 2408RGBR. The affect of this menu item is seen when 2 sets of 2408RGBTs and 2408RGBRs are connected in sequence.
2408RGBT/DVIT RGBHV/DVI Portable SFP Fiber Transmitter 4.4.7. Setting the Analog Audio Detection Threshold (A2 Version) Two card-edge LEDs indicate signal presence of the two respective analog audio channels. A Detection Threshold is used to indicate audio signal presence. The Audio Detection Threshold adjustment is implemented in the digital domain, and applies to both channels.
Press the pushbutton to apply the displayed selection and return to the first menu level. The following selections are available for this menu item: Each 2408RGBT/DVIT card must have a unique ID 00000 to 7FFFE: tag.
4.4.16. Displaying the Selected Link Rate The 2408RGBT/DVIT can display the Active Link Rate. To indicate the Link Rate, select the STAT menu item in menu level 1. Use the toggle switch to select the LINK menu item and press the pushbutton.
4.4.17. Displaying the Selected ID Tag The 2408RGBT/DVIT can display the current ID Tag. To indicate the current ID Tag, select the STAT menu item in menu level 1. Use the toggle switch to select the ID menu item and press the pushbutton.
2408RGBT/DVIT RGBHV/DVI Portable SFP Fiber Transmitter JUMPER CONTROLS Several jumpers (located at the front of the module) are used to preset various operating modes. Figure 4-4 shows the locations of the jumpers. 5.1. CONFIGURING THE MODULE FOR FIRMWARE UPGRADES RUN/UPGRADE: The RUN/UPGRADE jumper is used when firmware upgrades are being done to the module.
