Product Overview
1.1 Introduction
The 3G-SDI/ST2110 over IP Uncompressed Gateway Converter allows HD-SDI and 3G-
SDI equipment to be extended up to 100ft (30m) via UTP Cat 6a/7 cable (model
500767-2110-UTP), or up to 1300ft (400m) via duplex multimode OM4 fiber with
LC connectors (model 500767-2110-MM), at up to 1080p resolution @ 60Hz
uncompressed, in a point-to-point configuration. A second Media/Data port is
provided and can be used to support ST-2022-7 Redundancy (Seamless Protection
Switching). Thus a second MuxLab SFP module (model: 500970-UTP for UTP model,
or 500970-MM for multimode fiber model) is pre-installed and
included.
Point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint configurations are also
possible by connecting several units to a 10G Ethernet network. The unit
provides a 1G Ethernet Switch port for unit management via a Rest API or NMOS,
and an RS232 port for remote control of end devices (for future
implementation).
