Description

Electrical to Optical Transmitter 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, ASI The BC313T is a transmitter module for the conversion of 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI and ASI signals into fibre optical cable. The incoming signal is auto-sensed and then equalised and reclocked prior to conversion and transmission down a single optical fibre. Each BC313T is housed in a compact robust enclosure and is designed for Outside Broadcast and special events as well as Studios. Power is provided via the optional PS10/XLR unit. The PS10/XLR has an IEC mains inlet allowing easy adoption into standard equipment bays. The BC313T has a 4 pin XLR allowing power from a variety of external DC sources in the range 4.5 to 17 V. The BC313s are extremely compact single channel fibre optic converters that are perfectly suited to provide interference free transmission and for extending the range of electrical signals, particularly HD-SDI and 3G-SDI signals. Each channel can operate in non-reclocking mode and handles data rates from 50 Mb/s to 3 Gb/s. The BC313T is available in singlemode, WDM and CWDM variants to suit any fibre application. The BC313T can also be used to interface to any of the standard Bluebell cards and enclosures. The single channel BC313 transmitter is also available with a loop input—see separate datasheet for full technical information.
