I.R.T
Communications

I.R.T. Communications (formerly trading as IRT Electronics) design and manufacture products for the Broadcast and Telecommunications industries and has built a reputation based on innovation, reliability and level of support. From simple distribution to system interface and protection IRT has a range of products in Eurocard, openGear and Stand Alone formats that allow a mix and match of various signal types allowing interfacing of various third party systems to complete systems to be designed in their own right. IRT's range of products include Distribution Amplifiers, Fibre (Fiber) Links, Switchers, Audio Embedders & De-embedders, High Definition (12G-SDI, 6G-SDI,3G-SDI, HD-SDI) and Standard Definition (SD-SDI), ASI, G.703 (E1, E3, DS3, STM-1), Network Interface Adapters, Protection Switching, SNMP and an expanding range of openGear cards.
 

DDT-4630 & DDR-4630: 3G/HD/SD-SDI/ASI Fibre Optic Link

FEATURES:

  • Transports 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI or ASI signal rates.
  • Path lengths up to 30 dB1 optical path loss using 9/125µm single mode fibre.
  • Automatic changeover switching of input for signal redundancy on Tx.
  • LED indicators and external alarm contacts.
  • Fibre, video and alarm connections at rear.
  • Remote monitoring via SNMP.

GENERAL:

The IRT DDT-4630 and DDR-4630 are transmit and receive modules designed principally for use as a serial data fibre optic transmission link for 3G-SDI, HD-SDI or SD-SDI applications conforming to SMPTE standards 424M, 292M and 259M-C using 9/125 ?m single mode fibre. This enables the use of space saving fibre optic cable for reliable transmission of digital video signals over lengths greater than can be achieved with coaxial cable.
In addition, the link may be used for ASI transport streams for use with MPEG compressed video streams or other 270 Mb/s type data.
The transmitter features automatic input cable equalisation. The unit can be configured with lasers of various wavelengths.
LED indicators are provided for digital signal presence, DC power and LASER failure.
A link selectable "keep link alive" signal is available to maintain optical link operation when no electrical input is present.
Two inputs are provided with automatic changeover to input 2 on loss of input 1 for input signal redundancy.
The receiver uses a choice of either a PIN photodiode or APD detector with signal conditioning and reclocking circuits. The data rate is automatically set to match the 3G-SDI, HD-SDI or SD-SDI rates dependent on the actual input data rate to the transmitter.
Two serial digital outputs are provided. LED indicators are provided for digital signal presence, signal type, optical loss and power.
Relay contact outputs are also provided for external use of alarm signals on both modules.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is available for remote monitoring when used in conjunction with an IRT frame fitted with SNMP capability.
NOTE: 1 27dB path loss at 3G. Typically >30dB at HD and SD. Fitted with APD detector.
