Thinklogical 12G SDI Extenders Quick start guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the Quick Start Guide for the thinklogical SDI Extenders and Matrix Switch. This document details how to connect the 12G SDI Transmitters and Receivers using fiber optic cables and the TLX160 Matrix Switch. It also covers steps for setting video formats and ensuring all system functions operate correctly. I'm ready to assist you with any questions you have about this setup.
  • What type of fiber optic cable is recommended?
    How far can the 12G SDI extenders reach?
    How do I change video formats?

Thinklogical recommends connecting 12G SDI
Extenders and Matrix Switches up to 40km (25 miles)
with Type OS2 9/125 Single-mode fiber terminated
with LC type connectors.
Complete Steps 1-7 to connect 12G SDI Transmitters to 12G SDI Receivers:
STEP 1: Connect the 12G SDI Transmitter Modules to the 12G SDI Receiver
Modules, through a TLX160 Matrix Switch’s 12G SDI (TLX-MSD-S12G10) I/O Card,
using fiber-optic cables (up to 40km with Single-Mode Fiber). See above.
STEP 2: On the Receiver, install the +5VDC adapter PWR-22 and plug it into a standard
AC Source.
STEP 3: Connect the SDI OUT ports to the SDI display device(s) with 75W BNC
Cable(s). Turn the device(s) ON.
STEP 4: On the Transmitter, install the +5VDC adapter PWR-22 and plug it into a
standard AC Source.
STEP 5: Connect the 3G Level A Quad-Link Input to the Transmitter with 75W BNC
Cables. Ensure the sources are ON.
STEP 6: Set the desired video format using the Select (2) and Store (1) buttons on the
Receiver. (See RX BUTTONS, right.)
STEP 7: Ensure all system functions are operating properly.
