8.6 Pulse SFP input

Note: The Barco SFP Input Board has been designed and tested to work alongside the Barco SFP Output Board.

However, it is possible that the SFP Input board can also work with other third-party devices that support 12G over fiber. Due to the many third-party options available on the market, the input board could not be tested for every option available.

Overview SFP input

The SFP Input board is used to connect 12G SDI over fiber. The SFP input is delivered without any connector. It is up to the customer to buy the necessary connectors, transceivers and cables. These parts can be mounted on the indicated places on the front panel of the board.

Note: For specifications about the supported inputs for SFP see chapter “Specifications”.

LED behavior

The SYNC LED lights up ORANGE when valid input sync is detected.
The SEL LED lights up GREEN when the input is selected.
Blinking YELLOW: Sync/signal is present, but not conform with input port standard.

Note: Non-conformity issues can be caused by older or low quality cables unable to handle the requested resolution, or connected signal converters manipulating the signal out of the supported video standards.

Use cases

The SFP can be configured as follows:

SFP+ transceiver + Fiber connection (integrated or separated)
Neutrik OpticalCon Duo + SFP+ transceiver + internal fiber
Neutrik OpticalCon Quad + SFP+ transceiver + internal fiber
Loop-through mode

Note: See projector installation manual for detailed instructions on how to install/configure the SFP input.

Warning: Only by Barco trained and qualified technicians are allowed to install the SFP input.

Note: Optical Tranceiver to comply with Laser Class 1, IEC60825–1: 2014
