Main / Optical interfaces / PORC-7242SFP
| PORC-7242SFP series HD/SD SDI/DVB-ASI optical receivers |
PORC-7242SFP series optical receivers convert an optical signal into electrical SDI/ASI 270Mbps stream.
PORC-7242SFP module occupies one slot in the PROLFEX 1U/3U racks so that up to four transmitters fit into a 1U rack and up to fifteen into a 3U rack.

Features
- Automatic input signal's standard detection with manual override option
- EDH status indicators
- Signal loss indication
- Signal reclocking
- PAL/NTSC monitor output (for SDI input standard)
- hot-swappable SFP module providing the diagnostic information about TX power and wavelength
- High optical sensitivity (-31dBm for SDI/ASI)
- Two output BNC connectors for the reclocked signal

General description
An input optical signal is applied to the photodiode, converted into electrical form and amplified. After the reclocking and reshaping, the signal is available at the BNC electrical output. A copy of restored signal is processed to recover the DVB-ASI or SDI stream. For the SDI stream the EDH status is collected, the PAL/NTSC video is decoded for monitoring.

Controls and indicators
All the controls and indicators are located at the module's frontal board

Modes of operation:
- INP MODE – input signal standard automatic/manual selection
- TX POWER – display of the laser TX optical power
Indicators:
- LOSS – lit when no input signal is detected
- EDH DET – lit when an SDI signal with the EDH is present
- EDH MIN/HOUR – lit when two or more EDH errors were detected within one hour/one minute interval
- INPUT STATUS - input signal standard indication:
- AUTO - autodetection mode is ON
- ASI - the ASI input signal is detected
- SDI - the SD SDI input signal is detected
- HD - the HD SDI input signal is detected
Remote control from a PC
All “PROFLEX”-family devices are capable of a remote control from a PC via a PROFITT's proprietaty software packege. An optional CPU module installed in a PROFLEX rack provides the RS-232/RS-485/Ethernet connectivity.
Application example
In case of a single-fiber usage, just connect it to the receiver's input.
In case of the CWDM you should connect the receivers' inputs to an optical MUX/DEMUX observing the wavelength markings. PORC-7242SFP is sensitive to any wavelength in the 1100..1650nm band, it is possible to connect it to any MUX/DEMUX output to provide optical signal selectivity.
