VMDA-6 Video Media Conversion DA

Product Overview

The VMDA-6 is the latest Product offering from the Stratos Video Optic Line. This

unique Distribution Amplifier and Media Converter offers the end user the flexibility

needed for todays HD/SD Field Production work.

The VMDA-6 is a unique device in that it offers the end-user selectable modes for

media conversion and distribution of SMPTE 297m Compatible HD/SD Traffic. Based

on 3 efficient configurations, this device accommodates situations most common to

production work. Mode 1 allows for a Fiber Signal input reclocked to Fiber out and

Media converted to a distributed 6 Channel Electrical output. Mode 2 allows an

Electrical input to be media converted to Fiber out, while accepting a Fiber input, media

converted to a distributed 6 channel Electrical output. Mode 3 distributes an Electrical

input to a 6 channel Electrical output while media converting the signal for Fiber

output. All signals are internally reclocked for added signal integrity.

User Friendly Intuitive Display

The VMDA-6 top cover display enables the user to quickly Configure & Identify mode of

operation. With Signal present LED’s and under lit signal flow arrows, setup is easy and

can be identified at a glance.

MX-3010F – Four Channel Camera Fibre Link System

Product Overview The MX-3010F Four Channel Camera Fiber Link Multiplexer is the latest addition to the

Stratos video product line. It enables the user to connect up to 4 SMPTE 311M

interfaced broadcast cameras and to multiplex them over one Single Mode Fiber (SMF).

These bi-directional camera channels accomplishes video, CCU control, audio, talley

telecom, and return video all over a single fiber.

The system consists of two multiplex / de-multiplex units, one for connection to the

camera and the other for connection to the associated Camera Control Units. The

electrical connection types available are SMPTE 304M or Stratos’ own HX1080

expanded beam technology. The optical link between these two units is either “SC” or

“ST” terminated single mode fibre.

MX-3010F System Benefits include the ability to extend the camera optical connection

range to more than 20km. The MX-3010F utilizes standard SMPTE Electrical Emulating

technology when local power is provided to the cameras. Thus, eliminating multiple

cable runs and distance restriction associated with HD production. It also cuts rigging

time in half and reduces overall vehicle transport weight.

Standard features include Redundant Power Supplies, Front Panel Indicator LEDs and

Digital Diagnostic Monitoring Interface read out via Ethernet 10/100T compliant web

enabled port.

• Multiplex up to 4 SMPTE 311M Fibre Camera Link Channels

• Plug and Play Operation

• Dual universal 110/240V power supply

• Power & Sensing conventions for multiple Camera Manufacturers

• Options available for all SMPTE 311M Compatible Connectors or Stratos HX1080 expanded beam technology

LX-8000 Series SMPTE Emulator Box

Product Overview

The LX-8000 Series SMPTE Emulator Box is the latest addition to the Stratos video

product line. It enables the user to connect a SMPTE fiber equipped camera with

hybrid wire/fiber cable, and convert it to a low cost single mode fiber. By utilizing

SMPTE Electrical Interface Technology you can effectively eliminate a majority of your

Bulky Hybrid cable runs.

The LX Box Series consist of a number of different connector style adaptor options. From any SMPTE 304m compliant plug/jack or the Stratos HX-1080 expanded beam connector to an optional ‘ST’ or ‘SC’ fiber connection. Each emulator pair performs two functions. The first is to allow bi-directional communication, with the full capabilities of a standard HD or SD fiber camera link protocol. The second is to provide the appropriate power and Connection sensing vital to proper operation.

Camera Power Options

The Stratos HX-1080 Series

Connectors provide robust field

deployable, high performance

expanded beam solutions for HD &

SD Broadcast applications.

In the event of connector or cable

damage due to abuse or misfortune,

rapid cost effective and de-skilled field

re-instatement is a must to support the

successful deployment of any hybrid

fibre/electrical broadcast cabling solution.

To complement the Stratos HX1080

connector products unique repair/install

solutions are available. Typically three

scenarios challenge field deployment.

(1) Connector failure, (2) Cable failure

and (3) miscalculations of cable lengths

for fixed installations. Stratos provides

three strategies to deal with each

providing a measured balance between

cost, adaptability and performance for

each.

(1) With factory certified Temporary

Repair Patchcords (TRP) (a HX-1080 to

LX-1080(1) assembly), rapid de-skill

repairs using common LC technology are

effected in minutes. Half the work is

already done, the field work is little more

than the use of regular fibre optic pot

and polish techniques. Stratos can even

offer training courses for those new to

the job. TRPs are used either as a

permanent repair or temporary re-

instatement in which case the TRP can be

reused should misfortune strike again.

(2) Using similar principles mid-stream

cable repair can also be achieved

quickly and effectively through the use

of a factory terminated LX1080/LX1080

cord. This method even allows short

damaged lengths of cable to be

removed entirely.

(3) The frustrations of permanent

installs without storing excessive cable

over-lengths are eased by the freedom

to easily terminate on site once the

cable has been ideally routed. To

enable this while exploiting the benefits

of the HX-1080 expanded beam

interface, Stratos has designed a

unique optical feedthrough bulkhead

with standard LC pot/polish connections

on the rear, a de-skilled on-site

terminated LX-1080.

Low skilled, cost effective and rapid

solutions available for all eventualities,

when the show must go on the Stratos

product portfolio makes its as easy as 1

Fibre Optic Transmitter/Receiver Module

FEATURES Wide dynamic range Suitable for all modulation

formats Adjustable receiver gain High reliability Alarm and status output Low power consumption Single 12V power supply

Class 1 Laser safety compliant optical output

BENEFITS OF FIBRE OPTIC TRANSMISSION Low loss which enables very

long transmission with minimal degradation of carrier-to-noise Lightweight, highly flexible,

small diameter cable Frequency response is

independent of transmission length

Nonconductive – provides electrical isolation

Lower cost compared to coaxial cable over long distances.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW Stratos VRF-X-X-X fibre optic modules are high performance compact modules which allow equipment supplier to provide an optical interface for their RF signals as an alternative or in addition to the traditional coaxial interface.

APPLICATIONS Satcomms up/down converters Broadcast Earth stations Head ends RF signal distribution GPS VSAT equipment
