The 2405EO-HD converter features one auto-equalized coaxial input with two reclocked serial digital outputs and one reclocked fiber output. The 2405EO-HD has been designed to be used primarily as a reclocking 1.5Gb/s distribution amplifier and converter, however, it can also be used as a non-reclocking SMPTE 310M (19.4 Mb/s), DVB-ASI or SMPTE 259M(143 to 540...

2400 Series Fiber Converter Manual 2405EO-HD SMPTE292M Re-Clocking Electrical to Fiber Converter INSTALLATION The 2405EO-HD is a compact module that has three BNC connectors and one SC/PC (shown), ST/PC or FC/PC optical connector. Figure 2-1: 2405EO-HD Module HD INPUT: Input BNC connector for 10-bit serial digital video signals compatible with the SMPTE 292M standard.
Triangular band: black Symbol: black 2.1.2. Assembly Assembly or repair of the laser sub-module is done only at Evertz facility and performed only by Evertz technical personnel. 2.1.3. Labeling Certification and Identification labels are combined into one label and it is located in the middle of the chassis, on the bottom, close to the rear.
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.

2400 Series Fiber Converter Manual 2405EO-HD SMPTE292M Re-Clocking Electrical to Fiber Converter STATUS LEDS ACTIVE SIGNAL: This Green LED will be On when there is a valid signal present at the module input. NO CARRIER: This Red LED will be On when there is no valid signal present at the module input.
USER CONTROLS The 2405EO-HD is equipped with a 4 position DIP switch to allow the user to configure the module. The On position is down, or closest to the printed circuit board. Table 5-1 gives an overview of the DIP switch functions.
2400 Series Fiber Converter Manual 2405EO-HD SMPTE292M Re-Clocking Electrical to Fiber Converter FIBER OPTICS SYSTEM DESIGN Fiber optics is best known for its applications in the telephone industry, even though it is widely used in video and television systems. In television systems they typically send signals between two locations or distribute the same signal to many destinations.
Line width is usually important only in high definition applications. 6.1.1.1. Transmitter Output Launch Power The launched output power tells us the maximum power available at the optical transmitter. Table 6-1 indicates the launched output power available on current Evertz EO modules. Minimum Spectral width of Module...

Linewidth The linewidth is a measure of the laser’s spectral purity, and determines the jitter penalty (how much jitter gets added to the signal).
Table 6-2: Optical Receiver Power Parameters 6.1.3. Passive Optical Module Parameters In passive optical modules, the main design parameter that is important is the loss through the passive device. Table 6-3 indicates the power loss on current Evertz 7705 series passive fiber modules. Module Port...

2400 Series Fiber Converter Manual 2405EO-HD SMPTE292M Re-Clocking Electrical to Fiber Converter 6.3. CALCULATING THE OPTICAL SYSTEM POWER BUDGET Given a specific optical transmitter and receiver pair, the most important question concerning a system designer or integrator is the maximum possible link length. Here is a worksheet that simplifies this calculation.
Never look directly into an optical fiber. Non-reversible damage to the eye can occur in a matter of milliseconds. The laser modules used in Evertz fiber optic products are all CLASS I, with a maximum output power of 2mW, and wavelengths of either 1310 nm or 14750 nm to 1610 nm.
