Page 4: Overview
Thank you for purchasing this Bluebell Opticom professional broadcast video product. If you are new to Bluebell products, or to the subject of transmitting video and/or other types of signal over fibre links, please take the time to read through this document before putting the module to use. -
Page 5: Power Requirements
Power requirements Power supply requirements are dictated by the enclosure type used. BC100i modular frames: This is normally fitted with two identical AC mains PSU modules. Each module has sufficient capacity to power a fully-loaded frame. The AC connection is via standard IEC cables, DC power distribution inside the frame is via the motherboard. -
Page 6: Inputs And Outputs
Inputs and outputs SDI Video: BC370 interfaces can be used with serial digital video signals having data rates up to 3 Gb/s. Standards supported are: SD-SDI : SMPTE ST 259 compliant HD-SDI : SMPTE ST 292 compliant 3G-SDI : SMPTE ST 424 compliant Video inputs and outputs are on 75 ohm BNC sockets. -
Page 7: Bc370 Series Connections And Indicators
BC370 Series connections and indicators BC370T – four independent transmission channels OPT O/P - SFP carrier factory-fitted with dual LC optical connector. Each port is a dual transmitter, one LC connector per channel. The standard operating wavelength is 1310 nm; alternative wavelengths may have been specified at time of order. -
Page 8: Signal Routing
Signal routing BC370T/BC370R pair: BC370R receiver BC370T transmitter In this application, a BC370T will typically be installed at a remote camera location and a BC370R at the base location. Four independent SDI signals applied at the inputs of BC370T will be transported over separate optical links, and can be recovered at the SDI outputs of the BC370R. -
Page 9: Setup Options
Setup options BC370T and BC370R have four internal PCB jumpers: LK1, LK2, LK3 and CN3, whose position modify the interface’s operation. There are no other user adjustments. The “LK” links are set on 3-pin headers: a jumper is positioned either on pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3 of the header. -
Page 10: External Monitoring
External monitoring When installed in a BC100i, BC100, BC160i or BC160 frame, all cards in the Bluebell modular range can report their status to the frame’s monitoring system. The BC100i and BC160i frames provide visual indication of correct card operation (or otherwise) on the Home page of the frames’... -
