Application Examples

Note: Fiber SFP are optional equipment and not included with the base module.

Connections

• This module has six BNC connectors and one SFP cage. One for dedicated input, one for dedicated output, one for loop or dedicated output, and three switchable in/outputs.
• The optical port (SFP slot) can be used for transceiver SFPs (i.e. OH-TR-12G-LC) as well as single Transmitter or Receiver SFPs.

Operation Modes

Operation Mode settings can be changed on the device it control software.

• 6G/12G SDI Single Link ►4 x 1.5G/3G SDI Quad Link (2SI)
• 6G/12G SDI Single Link ► 4 x 1.5G/3G Quad Link (SQD)
• 4 x 1.5G/3G SDI Quad Link (2SI) ► 6G/12G SDI Single Link
• 4 x 1.5G/3G SDI Quad Link (SQD) ► 6G/12G SDI Single Link
• Auto Quad Link to Single Link
• Distribution mode
  In Distribution Mode the CQS 1462 can be used for distributing SDI signals from Input 1 (BNC/SFP) to the five Outputs (BNC) as well as the fiber Output (SFP).

Operation Modes
Following Input Settings are available:

• Auto Select: Switch Automatic and Manual Selection of input sources ( Ignored in quad to single modes )
• Link Indication: Add numbered overlay for outputs to indicate link source.
• Link Loss Reply: Choose how to respond to missing links.
• Mode shows in which modes support which Operations.
• Operations are:
  • Link Replacement (only 2SI output) duplicates input link 1 to preserve image brightness.
  • Black “Missing Link“ replace missing link with frame black (reduces the image brightness).
  • Black “Full Picture” output full frame black image if a single link is lost.
  • Output Down turns off the output entirely ( no SDI output signal ).
• Bit Switch Settings visualizes how to set the DIP switches.

Power
The module requires a 12V DC power input and the LED confirms when power is connected. A power supply is provided, however, if you use your own power supply, please provide a clean 12V DC power source(or between 7 and 24V DC).

Module LEDs

The module has several LEDs included to indicate status:

SDI Present LED (electrical and fiber input have individual LEDs)

Power / Prog Setting LED

• Green Power OK and no internal programmed settings are present
• Yellow Power OK and control software exclusive settings are not at factory default*
• Yellow (blinking) “Locate” functionality enabled via control software to identify physical module
• Red Power OK and physical settings are overwritten by software settings
• Red (blinking) Hardware malfunction ( Fan Error, Overheating, etc.)
• Off Power not present

The module can be reset to factory defaults by using the reset switch

Central Control Interface via USB

• The USB connection on the module is for firmware updates and control via the Lynx Centraal or yelloGUI software applications.
• Please register to connect to our update server [Database settings Registration] and you will receive the latest firmware updates automatically. Check in the “update” section on Lynx Centraal or look for the red update flag in yelloGUI.
• Firmware updates and our control software are free of charge.

Fiber I/O Options

The optional fiber I/O SFP modules plug into the side of the yellobrik and are ideal to bridge longer distances. We offer Singlemode CWDM versions (in 18 different wavelengths according to ITU-T G694.2), as well as Singlemode. This module can use TR (Transceiver), TX (Transmitter), RX (Receiver) SFPs.

Option #| Wavelength| TX Power| RX Sensitivity| Max Distance
---|---|---|---|---
OH-TR-12G-LC| 1310 nm| -5 … +0.5dBm| 6 – 12G: -10dBm
1.5 – 3G: -14dBm| 10km (6.2miles)
OH-TR-12G-XXXX-LC| 1270 – 1610nm| -2 … +3dBm| 6 – 12G: -10dBm
1.5 – 3G: -14dBm| 10km (6.2miles)
OH-TX-12G-LC| 1310nm| -5 … +0.5dBm| –| 10km (6.2miles)*
OH-RX-12G-LC| 1310nm|

–

| 6 – 12G: -10dBm
3G: -14dBm
1.5G:-16dBm| 10km (6.2miles)*

Power Lead Strain Relief

The module (different module shown here) has a small hole in the case located above the power connection. This prevents the power lead from being accidentally pulled out. Use the supplied tie-wrap and secure the lead, as shown below.

Mounting Solutions

• The optional RFR 1001 mounting bracket can be used to permanently mount the module on any surface or on 19” rack rails.
• The optional RFR 1200 rack mount can be used to mount up to 14 yellobrik modules permanently. In addition, the RFR 1200 can provide full power redundancy for all mounted yellobriks.

• We are constantly adding more yellobrik modules.
