Multi channel J2K Encoder-Decoder
2.1.

REAR PLATE

The rear plate of 570J2K-HW-X19 is equipped with 20 Mini-Din connectors. When using the module as
an encoder, mini dins 1-12 are used for the encoder input sources.
When 570J2K-HW-X19 is being used as a decoder, mini din 1-9 are used for decoder SDI outputs.
The front plate of 570J2K-HW-X19 has 12 available SFP slots. These SFP slots can be populated with
SFP10G-TR13-A. This will allow 10G interface to the 570J2K-HW-X19 Encoder and Decoder. Note that
up to 4 x 10G interfaces or 4 X SFP10G-TR13-A are supported.
2.2.

CARE AND HANDLING OF OPTICAL FIBER

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 due to heavy objects or abrupt fiber bending.
Evertz recommends that the user maintains a minimum bending radius of 5 cm to avoid fiber-bending
loss that will decrease the maximum attainable distance of the fiber cable. The Evertz fiber optic
modules come with cable lockout devices, to prevent the user from damaging the fiber by installing a
module into a slot in the frame that does not have a suitable I/O module.

Never touch the end face of an optical fiber. Always keep dust caps on optical
fiber connectors when not connected and always remember to properly clean the
optical end face of a connector before making a connection.
