Introduction
Unit Functional Schematic
The AMG2787-1 DR-SF transmits and
receives optical signals from both a primary
and secondary optical channels. These
optical channels are transmitted on the same
optical fibre in different directions, operating
at different wavelengths. The primary
channel operates on 1550nm and the
secondary channel on 1310nm.
The AMG2787-1-DR-SF receives and drops
off the data signals transmitted from an
AMG2788R-DR-SF receiver. It then inserts
video and data signals onto the outgoing
optical signal. The video signal is inserted on
1 of 8 channels available on the optical signal. The insert channel number is set by SW1 inside the unit
(see below). If the video channel is set to a channel that already has a video signal on it, this unit will over-
write this in-coming video signal.
In normal operation where connection of both the previous unit and the subsequent unit are OK, the video
and data signal is transmitted on the primary output and the data received from the primary input. The
secondary optical input is independent and is regenerated on the secondary output.
If the primary input signal is not present, the unit will shut down the secondary output to inform the
previous unit that the signal route is not OK. The previous unit will then send out the video and data
signals on its secondary output in the opposite direction. This signal will be repeated around the ring to get
back to this AMG2787-1-DR-SF on the secondary route. As the primary input is not present on this unit,
the data signals will now be taken from the secondary optical input. Thus maintaining integrity of the data
transmission.
If the secondary input signal is not present, the unit will assume that the route to the next unit is not OK
and send out the video and data signals on the secondary optical output. This video and data will be
transmitted to the next unit around the ring in the opposite direction on the secondary route.
Optical System Connection
The AMG2787-1-DR-SF units are designed to be connected in a ring system.
In a ring system AMG2787-1-DR-SF and AMG2787-2-DR-SF single and dual channel insert units
respectively can be combined to make up an 8 channel video transmission system as illustrated below,
dropping off the video signals at a AMG2788R-DR-SF. As each unit regenerates the optical signal, the
optical dynamic range between each optically connected node is a minimum of 15dB.
