BC Series Modular Fibre Optic Interface System -TDM-300RA Mux/Demux Optical Link - HD-SDI, SD-SDI, Audio, Datapdf

The TDM-300RA is a card for the Time Division Demultiplexing of multiple signals from one singemode fibre. Four serial digital video signals (including one HD-SDI signal), eight line level analogue audio and RS232/422 data can be electrically demultiplexed from the TDM-300T. Embedded audio or other data embedded within the ancillary data space is passed transparently.

The TDM-300 links are ideal for tie-lines and Outside Broadcast applications and are particularly suited to the PROBE portable fibre optic enclosures.

An electrical input from each card also allows the TDM signal routed via a standard 3G-SDI routing and distribution network to be demultiplexed within a broadcast facility.
This is link selectable between the optical and electrical inputs. By combining multiple or bidirectional TDM-300 links with standard BC Series cards complex optical networks can be realized in the most cost effective and compact footprint.

The TDM-300RA occupies a double slot in the BC100-3RU 19" rack-mounting frame allowing multiple channels of multiplexed video (e.g. 7 x HD-SDI, 21 x SD-SDI, 56 x audio and 28 x data signals) to be received in a single 3RU frame. Signal and card monitoring is achieved through SNMP monitoring in the BM101 network card. Alternatively GP-Output alarms can be triggered via the BM100 module.

CWDM variants are available allowing up to 16 TDM links on one single fibre.
For stand alone applications the TDM-300RA can be housed in an individual BC120 enclosure.
