8 Channel Video Receive Unit with Bi-directional Data plus
The AMG3784BxE is a standalone eight channel video receive unit designed to receive 8 video
signals from a single optical fibre ring. It also provides 2 bi-directional data channels via a low speed
data interface, plus full duplex 100BaseT Ethernet connectivity around the ring.
The AMG3784BxE is designed to be powered using an AMG2003 standalone power supply.
The AMG3784BxE is designed to operate with AMG3713E or rackmount equivalent AMG3713ER
single channel video, data and Ethernet insert units. It may also be used with other combinations of
single, dual and four channel video, data and Ethernet insert units.
An AMG3784BxE receive unit will 'drop off' up to eight video channels which are being transmitted
around the fibre ring from up to eight single channel insert units, or from an equivalent combination of
multi-channel insert units.

  • Page 7: Ethernet Operation

    Ethernet Operation In order for the AMG system to transmit Ethernet signals, an onboard RJ45 Ethernet interface or X16003 Ethernet interface adaptor should be fitted to all units in the ring. The Ethernet interface can operate at either 10Mbits/s half duplex, or 100Mbit/s full duplex. When all the Ethernet interfaces around the ring are operating at 100Mbit/s full duplex the system behaves as a multi-port repeater.
