Appendix D: Automatic Fail-Over Option

For applications that require an automatic fail-over system, Thinklogical offers a solution. The
®
Automatic Fail-Over Option features a transmitter with two separate fiber paths and the option
to select which of the two is the viable path.
The transmitter contains all the same features as standard Velocity products in addition to
offering redundant fiber connectors (L1' and L2') for each standard fiber connector (L1 and L2).
All other features function the same as other Velocity products.

Fiber Connections
L1 and L1' are redundant outputs, transmitting the same video and KMASS data.
L2 and L2' are redundant KMASS data back-channel inputs. When the unit is powered on,
an internal MUX will select L2 as the default back-channel, providing it is active (a fiber
connected). L2' will be selected as the default back-channel if it is the only active port.
