1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
The F-M1SDI system by Thor is designed to extend the range of SDI digital video signals by transmitting the signals
over fiber cable. These units are compact and are suitable for a wide range of applications involving broadcast type
SD-SDI or HD-SDI video. They are available in a range of power levels to support transport distances from 10 to 80 km
when used with single mode fiber. In addition to SDI digital video, this system also provides 1 channel of RS-485 return
path data from the optical receiver back to the transmitter. This is ideal for controlling equipment such as video routers,
PTZ controllers, industrial equipment, or any SDI over Fiber signal up to 1.485GB/s.
