Description

BC Series Modular Fibre Optic Interface System – Multi-format Interface The BC363 is a compact rack-based multi-format converter for use with a wide range of broadcast video and audio signals. The BC363 provides a base unit that comprises an input and output SFP cage. By using different SFP converter modules the functionality of the unit can be adapted to suit different applications. The signal input and output formats are defined by the selection of appropriate standard SFPs. This can be both in the form of an optical and/or electrical format conversion. A wide range of functionality can be achieved and allows the BC363 to act as a toolkit for Systems Engineers as well as a high quality stand alone converter for a fixed installation. Multi format SFPs include conversion to and from composite, HDMI, DVI, optical and HD-SDI. Units can also be used for regenerating optical signals from multimode to singlemode or re-mapping wavelengths within existing fibre systems. See separate SFP documentation for the options available. The BC363 occupies a single slot in the BC100i 3RU 19″ rack-mounting frame which can hold up to 15 single slot cards. The compact BC160i 1RU is available for up to six cards. Signal and card monitoring is achieved through SNMP monitoring in the BM102i network card, or through the BM102i network monitoring webpages. For stand-alone applications the BC363 can be housed in an individual rugged enclosure.
