BC370R

Description

The BC370R is a high-performance receiver card designed for the conversion of four independent optical signals, 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, and ASI, back into electrical format. Each incoming optical signal is processed through a trans-impedance and limiting amplifier before being electrically reclocked at the outputs, ensuring jitter-free optical transport and exceptional signal integrity.

When a non-standard SDI signal is detected, each channel automatically switches to a non-reclocking bypass mode, handling data rates up to 3 Gb/s with ease. The BC370R is available in multimode, singlemode, WDM, and CWDM variants, making it suitable for a wide range of fibre optic applications.

Paired with the BC370T, which performs reverse conversions of electrical SDI signals into optical format, the BC370R provides a versatile solution for SDI signal transport.

The BC370R occupies a single slot in the BC100/BC100i (3RU) 19″ rack-mounting frame which can hold up to 15 single-slot cards, allowing up to 60 channels of video to be transmitted or received from a single 3RU frame. For smaller deployments, the BC160/BC160i (1RU) 19” frame can six single-slot cards, supporting the transmit/receive up to 24 SDI channels.

Signal and card status monitoring is available through the BM102/BM102i internal webpage or via SNMP for comprehensive network management.

For stand alone applications, the BC370R can be housed in an individual rugged enclosure, such as BC101 (1-slot), BC102 (2-slot) or BC120 (3-slot), offering flexibility and durability for various operational needs.
