Chapter 1 Introduction Overview The HOMS+OP+ module is a Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) SDI-to-optical converter and fiber optic multiplexer. The OHDS+OP+ is a CWDM optical-to-SDI converter and fiber optic demultiplexer. These modules are designed for high-end multi-channel transport of video in limited “fiber-line” applications. The following topics are described in this chapter: •...
Chapter 1: Introduction Product Description General Description The HOMS+OP+ and OHDS+OP+ modules are designed for use in any SD and/or HD environment in which SDI and DVB-ASI signals must cross distances that exceed the normal capabilities of professional video cable. The modules incorporate a passive filter design and feature high optical isolation to ensure low crosstalk.
Chapter 1: Introduction OHDS+OP+ Main Features OHDS+OP+ features include the following: • Remote control and monitoring via CCS-compliant software and control panels of the following: • Automatic and manual reclocking rate settings and reporting (143, 177, 270, 360, 540 MB/s; and 1.485 Gb/s) •...
Chapter 1: Introduction Typical Broadcast and Production Applications HOMS+OP+ and OHDS+OP+ products can be used in broadcast, cable, production, educational, and auditorium applications where a low-cost method of distributing serial digital video signals is required. Typical applications include sending signals from a studio, remote truck, or other production facility to the transmission site/facility.

Chapter 2 Installation Overview This chapter describes the HOMS+OP+ and OHDS+OP+module installation process, including the following topics: • “Maximum Frame Power Ratings” on page 12 • “Unpacking the Module” on page 13 • “Setting Jumpers” on page 13 • “Installing and Removing the Modules” on page 14 See the FR6802+ Frame Installation and Operation Manual for information about installing and operating an FR6802+X(F) frame and its components.
Dissipation OHDS+OP+ Type Supply Dissipation Slots Per Slot Requirements • 6W FR6802+XF 120 W (HOMS+OP+xx4D FR6802+XF48 105 W 5.25 W OHDS+OP+xx4D) FR6802+QXF AC or 120 W • 12 W (HOMS+OP+xx8D OHDS+OP+xx8D) * Each front module requires two of these slots. Therefore, to calculate the maximum power dissipation available per module, double the rating shown in the Max.
Chapter 2: Installation Unpacking the Module Preparing the Product for Installation Before you install HOMS+OP+ or OHDS+OP+ modules, perform the following: • Check the equipment for any visible damage that may have occurred during transit. • Confirm receipt of all items on the packing list. See “Checking the Packing List”...
Chapter 2: Installation Installing and Removing the Modules Installation Overview Front and back modules in the OPTO+ series have plastic caps that protect the fragile laser connections from damage. You must remove these protective covers before you install the back and front modules (see Figure 2-1).
Chapter 2: Installation Back Module Installation Follow these steps to install the back module into an FR6802+XF, FR6802+XF48, or FR6802+QXF frame: 1. Power down the frame. CAUTION Although front modules can be hot-swapped, back modules can only be safely installed or removed when the frame’s power is off. Ensure the front module has been removed before you install the back module.
Chapter 2: Installation Front Module Installation HOMS+OP+ and OHDS+OP+ modules have “locking” latches (see Figure 2-2). On the left side, the latch is in the down (locked) position; the latch on the right is in the up (unlocked) position. Both front modules are hot-swappable and can be installed with the power supply either turned on, or turned off.
Page 31
Chapter 2: Installation 3. Gently remove the outer and inner protective caps from the laser connections. (see Figure 2-1 on page 14). CAUTION Microscopic dust or other contaminants can seriously impair or disable a fiber optic network. Observe strict cleaning procedures. Do not touch the end of the fiber.
Chapter 2: Installation Removing Modules NOTE The removal steps provided here are similar to those outlined in your FR6802 Frame Installation and Operation Manual. Refer to that manual for detailed information about installing and operating an FR6802 frame and its components. Front Module Follow these steps to remove a front module from an FR6802+ frame: 1.
Chapter 2: Installation Inspecting and Cleaning Fiber Optic Connections Small amounts of microscopic dust or other contaminants can seriously impair or disable a fiber optic network. To ensure that your network operates reliably, you must carefully inspect and clean each connection when installing OPTO+ products.
Page 34
Chapter 2: Installation • Never touch the dispenser tip of an alcohol bottle or any clean portion of a tissue or swab. • Use care when handling the fiber; do not twist or pull. • Keep your cleaning fluids away from open flame or spark. Figure 2-3 describes the acceptable limits of defects in a fiber connection.
Chapter 2: Installation Inspection and Cleaning Procedure Inspection To inspect and clean the fibers, follow these steps: 1. Ensure the fiber is not “live.” WARNING Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to stare at an energized fiber end.
Page 36
Chapter 2: Installation Wet Cleaning Using 99% isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes, follow these steps to wet clean the fiber: 1. Fold the wipe into a square, about 4 to 8 layers thick. 2. Moisten one section of the lint-free wipe with one drop of 99% alcohol, ensuring that a portion of the wipe remains dry.

Chapter 3 Operation Overview This chapter describes the operation of the HOMS+OP+ and OHDS+OP+ modules using CCS-enabled software or control panels. (Most of the parameter settings can be controlled at the card edge.) See the operation manuals or online help associated with the CCS products for more information on monitoring and control.
Chapter 3: Operation Operation Notes When setting the control parameters on the HOMS+OP+ and OHDS+OP+ modules, observe the following: • If you make changes to certain parameters, other related parameters may be affected also. See “Cross-Functional Parameter Changes” on page 25 for more information.
Chapter 3: Operation Cross-Functional Parameter Changes In some situations, when certain parameters are changed, other changes are forced in associated parameters. Table 3-1 Table 3-2 describe those changes in the HOMS+OP+ and OHDS+OP+, respectively. The value of x in Table 3-1 Table 3-2 is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8.
Chapter 3: Operation Setting Parameters HOMS+OP+ Table 3-3 (below) and Table 3-4 on page 28 list the available HOMS+OP+ parameter options (four-channel and eight-channel, respectively). You must use CCS-enabled software or control panels to access most of these parameters (Transmitter Enable can also be controlled at the card-edge).
