Main / Optical interfaces / POTM-3202

POTM-3202(CW) series SDI/ASI optical transmitters

PROFLEX™ POTM-3202(CW) optical transmitters accept the 270Mbps SDI/ASI streams to send over the single-mode optical fiber.
The POTM-3202 module occupies one slot in the PROLFEX 1U/3U racks so that up to four transmitters fit into a 1U rack and up to seventeen into a 3U rack.

Features

  • autodetection of input signal standard with manual override facility
  • EDH status indication (min/hour) and signal loss indication
  • automatic cable equalisation and reclocking
  • two BNC outputs with reclocked/restored input signal
  • PAL/NTSC monitor output for SDI input signal
  • 0dBm optical output power
  • CWDM system compatibility

POTM-3202 laser wavelengths:

  • a single-signal system: 1310±20nm (POTM-3202) or 1550±20nm by request (POTM-3202/1550)
  • WDM system: 1310±20nm (POTM-3202) and 1550±20nm (POTM-3202/1550)
  • CWDM system: the 1270~1610nm band with 20nm steps, (modification indexes: POTM-3202CW##, where ## – the laser wavelength; for example, POTM-3202CW1530)

Compatible with all our optical receivers.

General description

The optical transmitter POTM-3202 accepts the SDI/ASI input signal, provides an automatic cable equalization and reclocking. The restored signal is optically output (via a laser), a copy of the signal is provided at an electrical output and simultaneously processed to detect the standard, EDH status, to decode it. In case of an SDI signal - it is provided at the monitor output in PAL/NTSC format.

Controls and indicators

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

Modes of operation:

  • AUTO – automatic input signal standard selection
  • FORCE – manual override of input standard selection
  • RESET EDH – EDH counters reset

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
  • ASI,SDI - input signal standard indication

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 transmitter's output.
In case of the CWDM you should connect the transmitters' outputs to an optical MUX/DEMUX observing the wavelength markings.
