1.0Product Description
Meridian’s RGB-T/R product is part of Meridian’s new DigiView product family. This state-of-the-art, high performance video transmission system transmits fully-compliant DVI, RGsB or RGBHV signals over one, multimode fiber. Optional DVI adapter cables allow easy interface to standard video connection interfaces on computers, monitors, switches, etc. The RGB-T/R provides real-time, digitized transmission of DVI, RGB and H&V sync signals. Because it transmits signals in real-time, no video information is lost and is a perfect solution for dynamic video signals with crystal clear video and no color pixel skewing.
Having both DVI and RGB input/output capability, this system offers an easy upgrade path from RGB to DVI systems with the same modules. With this dual input/output capability, the user can easily interface RGBHV sources to DVI monitors and also DVI video sources to standard RGBHV monitors and video switches. The user can further enhance the video performance with the use of the computer USB interface. This data channel allows the user to adjust brightness, contrast, H&V position, picture sharpness, color, etc.
This product uses Meridian’s standard 1-slot wide chassis mount card assembly and plugs into the following Meridian chassis: SR-500/S, SR-1000/S, SR-1200/S, SR-1500/S, and SR-2001 & SR-2000 series 19” equipment chassis.
2.0Installation
The RGB/DVI series products are one-slot wide cards and, as such, occupy one slot in Meridian’s standard chassis (SR-500/S, SR-1000/S, SR-1200/S, SR-1500/S, and SR-2001 & SR-2000 series 19” equipment chassis). To install in the chassis, orient the card with the Meridian logo at the top of the module and slide onto the top and bottom card guides in the chassis. Press securely on the top and bottom of the module to ensure that it is fully seated in the chassis so that the electrical connector mates with the chassis-mounted motherboard. Once installed, manually tighten the two thumbscrews located at the top and bottom of the card. Do not use tools to secure these and do not over tighten.
Note: A fully populated subrack should have forced-air cooling to avoid excessive heat buildup inside the chassis. A fan assembly tray (P/N FA-2000/1) with three (3) fans is available from Meridian and should be installed under the 19" SR-2000/1 whenever possible.
2.1Fiber connections
There is one ST style fiber connection interface on the transmitter and a corresponding ST style fiber connection on the receiver. These modems are designed for multimode fiber (either 62.5 or 50 micron core diameter fiber). The maximum fiber distance is listed below:
Fiber type | Maximum distance |
62.5/125um | 300 meters |
50/125um (standard performance) | 1000 meters |
50/125um (high bandwidth) | 2000 meters |
If the fiber distance is larger than that listed above, the video signal quality will be compromised and may not operate properly.
