OVERVIEW 1. Overview The SilverBullet 12G is a device designed to extend the reach of SDI (Serial Digital Interface) signals over long distances using single-mode fiber optic cables. At 11.88 Gbps, coax-only devices are typically limited to 50m runs, compared to the 10km distance fiber transmission is capable of. It provides a reliable and efficient solution for transmitting SDI signals while minimizing signal degradation and maintaining high-quality video transmission.
OPERATION 3. Operation 3.1 Transmitter Connect coax and fiber to unit before powering up. When a valid signal is present and the unit is powered up, the LEDs will function as shown: “Status” Arrow Green Yellow High BNC Signal Present (non-SMPTE Rate), no BNC SMPTE Signal Present temp Power...

OPERATION 3.2.1 Optical Power Meter The smart optical power meter gives information based on the measured light levels according to the data rate, i.e., the LED color ranges are data-dependent. “Green” is good, “yellow” is near failure, and “red” is out of range. The operational range for 12G-SDI is narrower than it is, for example, 3G-SDI.
