 Communications Specialties - Pure Digital Fiberlink 3150 HD/SD-SDI Series Datasheet
An inside look at the Pure Digital Fiberlink® 3150 Series Performance.
In any HD/SD-SDI signal distribution system, it is important to maintain the integrity of the HD/SD-SDI signal as it goes through various media
such as fiber and copper. Fiber optic transmission presents unique and potentially catostrophic challenges to HD/SD-SDI signal distribution
if not understood and compensated for in product design. It is with this in mind, that we present actual waveform data of the 3150 Series
illustrating key performance specifications under typical system conditions.
Environment:
Tektronix Signal Generator connects to a Pure Digital Fiberlink® 3150 through 250 feet of 1694A coax. The 3150
transmits HD or SD SDI over a 1000 meter multimode fiber to a 3151 Receiver. The 3151 Receiver outputs
to a Tektronix Measurement Device. All images shown are at the 3151 Receiver Output.
