BC300T

BC300T Dual Channel Electrical to Optical Converter SD-SDI, ASI

The BC300T is a transmitter card for the conversion of two independent SD-SDI, ASI signals into fibre optical cable. Each incoming signal is auto-sensed and then equalised prior to conversion and transmission down a separate single optical fibre. All Bluebell cards are designed to retain maximum integrity of the signal path offering excellent jitter free optical transport.

The BC300T is available in multimode, singlemode, WDM and CWDM variants to suit any fibre application.
The BC300T occupies a single slot in the BC100-3RU 19" rack-mounting frame which can hold up to 15 single slot cards. This dual functionality allows up to 30 channels of video to be transmitted or received from a single 3RU frame.
Signal and card monitoring is achieved through SNMP monitoring in the BM101 network card.
Alternatively GP-Output alarms can be triggered via the BM100 module.

For stand alone applications the BC300T can be housed in an individual rugged enclosure.
