    Laser Safety Information This unit is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER PRO15-ampccording to EN60825-1 (EU) and FDA 21CFR 1040.10 (USA). Class 1 laser products are considered safe and do not result in biological hazard if used according to these instructions. Warning –...
  • Page 6: Overview

    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.

  • Page 11 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.
  • Page 12 OPERATION 3.3 Maintaining Clean Fiber Cleaning an ST/UPC fiber connector properly is crucial to maintain optimal performance and prevent signal loss. Cleaning is recommended if the optical level is low. Here's a step-by-step procedure to clean an ST/UPC fiber connector: 1.
