The Logical Solution - Serial Digital Interface Extension

The SDI Xtreme 3G product series is a compact, broadcast quality, SDI over fiber extension system. The system is designed to transmit SD, HD, and 3G SDI signals with or without embedded audio and data, as well as DVB/ASI at 270 mbit/s. In addition, this fiber based transport system gives users the assurances that each signal is immune to video pathological signals over the entire length of the fiber interconnect. The system also supports either single or multi-mode fiber, and is SMPTE 424M, 292M, 259M, and 297M compliant.

The SDI Xtreme 3G provides industry leading performance and reliable media conversion for a wide variety of applications. Therefore, it is an ideal solution for Pro A/V, broadcast, and corporate studio applications, including video production and editing, (ENG) sports tele-production, field production, cross-town fiber links, cross on-campus production, pre-fibered venues, courtesy feeds and many more.

The System

The reliability of the SDI Xtreme 3G stems from the quality of its design and construction, with advanced integrated re-clocking circuitry designed into the transmitter and receiver. Equalized and re-driven SDI loop-through is also provided on the transmitter and re-clocked SDI outputs are provided on the receiver. These key features provide assurance that the signal is equalized and re-clocked prior to fiber transmission; therefore it retains all of the signals' initial parameters allowing for pristine output. In addition, front panel status LEDs indicate system activity and link activity.

Installation possibilities are expanded with built-in support for either multi-mode or single mode fiber, making this a convenient and cost effective solution to combat the restrictions involved with the distribution of uncompressed broadcast quality video signals over long distances. In addition, the SDI Xtreme 3G is fully compatible with Thinklogical's VX Router line of products.
