SFC-6901

• Support for SD to 12G SDI, plus ASI
• Flexible SFP options
  • 2 SFPs for up to 4 fiber links per card
  • Each SFP can be provisioned with dual transmit, dual receive or transceiver SFP
  • Select from 3G or 12G capable SFPs to suit the application and budget
  • 1310nm and standard sensitivity receiver SFPs available for short-haul links
  • CWDM lasers (16 wavelengths) and high-sensitivity receivers available for multiplexing, fiber-conservation and longer link budgets. Learn more about CWDM technology and its applications with Ross and other equipment in our application note
• Industry-standard E/O/E conversion (outside gearbox mode) ensures interoperability with Ultrix ULTRIX-MOD-SFP modules, Gearlite fiber converters, and other SMPTE 297M-compliant SDI optical endpoints, enabling scalable core-to-edge solutions.
• Configurable any-to-any port-mapping between the four HDBNC connectors and the optical ports, including:
  • One-to-one optical to/from electrical
  • Electrical or optical distribution
  • Electrical or optical loop-outs
• Onboard gearbox with multiple uses:
  • Quad 2SI 3G <-> 12G conversion and fiber transport for UHD signals
  • Fiber savings: Up to four synchronous HD/3G SDI signals of the same framerate and standard can be combined for transport as a 12G single link
  • When combined with CWDM, up to 64 HD/3G signals can be conveyed over a single singlemode fiber
  • In gearbox mode, signal transport over fiber is uninterrupted by loss of any electrical input feed
• Pairs of inputs may be configured for failover redundancy, allowing pairs of optical inputs, pairs of copper inputs or even optical and copper inputs as backups for each other
• Pair with the companion SHC-8932-F to convert SDI to HDMI to feed monitors, display processors, etc.
• Transparently passes embedded AES and all ancillary data
• Hot swappable from the front of the frame without decabling any fiber or coax connections
• High-density openGear solution – up to 40 fiber conversion paths per OG3 or OGX frame
• 5-year transferrable warranty

SFP Transceivers

With the ability to select from various SFP transmitter and receiver options, as well as configure the mapping of inputs and outputs using the internal crosspoint, the SHC-6901 can be flexibly configured to suit the needs of many applications.

Point-to-Point Unidirectional

The SHC-6901 can be configured for simple, uni-directional signal transport for signals from SD to 12G over multiple fibers with four channels on each card.

Point-to-Point Bidirectional

A single card may be configured to support bi-directional fiber links over multiple fibers.

Point-to-MultiPoint with Electrical Distribution

Flexible port mapping facilitates multiple electrical and/or optical outputs. In this case, a single 12G SDI source is locally distributed on two loop-outs, and optically distributed to two destination over two fibers. Three electrical outputs are configured at each destination.

Point-to-Point Over Single Fiber using Gearbox

The onboard gearbox may be used to combine up to four synchronous HD signals of the same standard and frame rate over a single, fiber-conserving 12G link.

Point-to-Point Using Gearbox with Optical Failover

The transmitter may be configured to output two copies of the same optical signal to accommodate dual/diverse fibre paths. The receive side is configured to treat the two inputs as main and backup for optical failover. The example combines use of the gearbox, but individual signals per fibre may also be configured.

Point-to-Point Over Single Fiber with SDI to HDMI Conversion

Utilizing CWDM SFPs, mix and demux, up to 16 12G signals may be conveyed over a single fibre.

Point-to-Point Bi-Directional using Gearbox and CWDM

The onboard gearbox may be used to combine up to four synchronous HD signals of the same standard and frame rate to a single 12G optical signal. Combining this with CWDM SFPs, mux and demux, up to 64 HD signals may be conveyed over a single fiber.
