Vidblox SL-3G / 3G-SL

Offering both coax and fiber inputs in the same SL-3G module opens up a wide range of capabilities for mission critical redundancy or system backup requirements. With the optional fiber ports activated, systems can be setup for long haul video transports well over 10km; and with the parallel coax outputs, local displays can be supported at distances as far as 80m away.

Transmission over fiber is inherently secure and immune to outside interference, therefore, fiber applications are favored in government, military, and medical environments.

The SL- 3G supports both single-mode and multimode fiber cabling with an optional duplex SFP pluggable fiber module. Each port supports output data rates up to 1080p/60. Additionally, each SL-3G comes with two BNC ports allowing two additional HD/3G output ports. With a total of four output ports, the SL-3G can be configured to support up to four displays per input.

The SL-3G accepts unbalanced stereo audio and embeds the signal for transport over the SMPTE output transport stream. In addition to DVI and VGA inputs, each SL-3G can be configured to accept other component video inputs such as RGsB, RGBS, and RGBHV where sync levels are different than traditional VGA. Each SL-3G can be used in conjunction with all PESA 3G-SDI routers and distribution gear.

The 3G-SL supports both single-mode and multimode fiber cabling with an optional duplex SFP pluggable fiber input module. Each port supports input data rates up to 1080p/60. Additionally, each 3G-SL module comes standard with two BNC ports allowing two additional 1080p/60 input ports. With a total of four input ports, the 3G-DL can be configured to select any one of up to four incoming signals. Primary and secondary sources can be pre-set via the Cattrax setup program or auto-detected.

The 3G-SL de-embeds auxiliary audio to an unbalanced stereo audio output. Also included on the input transport video from a 3G-SL transmitter is resolution-format data allowing each unit to properly communicate the specific resolution and format of the data received. Each 3G-SL can be controlled and configured using the local USB port; or using the optional Cattrax software, up to 1024 modules can be managed or monitored over a network connection. A wide range of adjustments and calibration features are available with Cattrax allowing output scaling, progressive to interlace conversion, test pattern setup, audio muting, and a large array of signal measurements for fiber and coax inputs.

In addition to DVI and VGA, each 3G-SL can be set up to output other component video inputs such as RGsB, RGBS, and RGBHV where sync levels are different than traditional VGA. Each 3G-SL can be used in conjunction with all PESA 3G-SDI routers and distribution gear.
