SDI-TD-MUX-4 Rev.8 1 Product overview The SDI-TD-MUX-4 is a Flashlink time-division multiplexer (TDM) for four SD-SDI or DVB- ASI inputs for signal transport in a single HD-SDI optical or electrical output according to the SMPTE 346M-2000 standard. Use the SDI-TD-DMUX-4 board for de-multiplexing the HD- SDI signal.
SDI-TD-MUX-4 Rev.8 Front view There will be a frame front covering the board and the on-board DIP-switches are then inaccessible (cover can however be opened). The LED’s are visible through the front panel by use of integral optical guides in the front panel, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2: Front Panel View with LED Indicators (only leftmost rack position shown) Figure 3 shows a sketch of the SDI-TD-MUX-4 board.
SDI-TD-MUX-4 Rev.8 1.2 Rear view and Connectors The rear view of the board is towards the right side of the board, as shown in Figure 3. The board must be mounted in a Flashlink FR-2RU-10-2 frame with a dedicated backplane board for the SDI-TD-MUX-4 board.
SDI-TD-MUX-4 Rev.8 1.3 Power connection Power is applied to the board via the backplane board, which again is plugged into the power distribution board in the Flashlink rack. The SDI-TD-MUX-4 board consumes slightly more than the full maximum of 3 watts from the +5V supply and slightly more than the full maximum of 1.5 watts from the +15V supply available at the backplane.
SDI-TD-MUX-4 Rev.8 2 Specifications Electrical input Number of inputs 4 independent SD-SDI, DVB-ASI or SDTI Data rates 270 Mbps (Max 35 Mbps active payload for DVB-ASI) Equalisation Automatic up to 300m Impedance 75 ohm Return loss >15dB @ 270MHz Connector Electrical output (standard) Output signal HD-SDI with TDM payload according to SMPTE 346M-2000...
SDI-TD-MUX-4 Rev.8 3 Configuration The SDI-TD-MUX-4 is self-configuring in the sense that it will start working according to default factory settings once the input signals and power are applied. Signals will be routed straight through without swapping and SD-SDI/DVB-ASI will be detected and handled automatically.

Both the GYDA. Factory default is ‘on’. electrical and optical outputs are active with the same signal at all times.
SDI-TD-MUX-4 Rev.8 4 Operation The SDI-TD-MUX-4 board transfers any or all of the four 270 Mbps input signals via an optical or electrical HD interface according to SMPTE 346M-2000. An SDI-TD-DMUX-4 board is required to reconstruct the four 270 Mbps signals, normally at a remote location and linked via an optical fibre or an electrical coax cable.
SDI-TD-MUX-4 Rev.8 5 Front Panel LEDs Figure 7 shows how the LEDs are located on the front panel. Figure 7: Front Panel View with LED Indicators The table below shows how the front panel LEDs are to be interpreted. Note that the term “in error” in the table means that there is either a missing signal (no carrier detect) AND/OR the reclocker has not been able to lock to the incoming signal.
SDI-TD-MUX-4 Rev.8 6 GPI alarms Four alarms are present on the RJ45 connector. These four GPI signals indicate the same status as the LEDs (see above): − GPI0: On => Power on, FPGA not configured Off => Power on, FPGA configured −...
SDI-TD-MUX-4 Rev.8 7 GYDA-SC Interface Figure 9 shows how GYDA-SC will present a rack equipped with an SDI-TD-MUX-4 module in rack position 2, an SDI-TD-DMUX-4 module in rack position 6, a GYDA-SC module in rack position 9 and a power supply unit in rack positions 10 and 11. For details on the GYDA-SC graphical user interface or the communication protocol, refer to the GYDA-SC documents or contact our support department at support@network-electronics.com.
SDI-TD-MUX-4 Rev.8 8 Laser safety precautions These are guidelines to limit hazards from laser exposure. All the available EO (including ETH100) units in the Flashlink range include a laser. Therefore this note on laser safety should be read thoroughly. The lasers emit light at wavelengths from 1270nm up to 1610nm. This means that the human eye cannot see the beam, and the blink reflex cannot protect the eye.
