The OTR 1814 is a 4-Channel 3G Fiber Optic / SDI transmitter and receiver combined in a single self contained package. It is a convenient and cost-effective solution to overcome the restrictions involved with the distribution of uncompressed, high bandwidth, broadcast quality video signals over long distances. It fits within 2RU height and requires no cooling.
Each OTR 1814 transceiver has two independent SDI transmit channels and two independent SDI receive channels, which provides an effective solution for any 3G-SDI signal up to 1920Ă—1080 60Hz. Operation of the receivers and transmitters are automatic. For transmission, the 3G-SDI video format is automatically detected, reclocked and then transmitted over the fiber TX connection. For reception, the optical SDI video input signal on the RX connection is automatically detected, reclocked and provided on the 3G-SDI output.
Two versions are available,
- OTR 1814 is for single mode fiber for distances up to 10km (6.2 miles)*
- OTR 1814 MM is for Multimode Fiber for distances up to 300m (984feet)*
The OTR 1814 supports 3G/1.5G/270Mbit SDI video standards. Like all yellobrik modules, it is compatible with the RFR 1200 rack frame, which provides power redundancy.
