HDLink Optical Fiber
HDLink Optical Fiber is easy to use because any valid video signal received by the SDI or
optical fiber SDI inputs is sent to all outputs, i.e. DVI/HDMI, SDI and optical fiber SDI outputs.
HDLink Optical Fiber automatically detects the format of the incoming signal and displays the
video on any supported DVI or HDMI-based monitor.
HDLink Optical Fiber has two video input connections which means that one can be used as a
redundant connection for the other in case a video feed is lost. If HDLink Optical Fiber receives
valid video signals through both of the SDI and optical fiber SDI inputs, the first signal received
will be displayed on the DVI/HDMI output and also sent to the SDI and optical fiber SDI outputs.
Should the first signal be lost, the other will immediately replace it. For example if HDLink
Optical Fiber was receiving video from a distant location via optical fiber SDI, and the link was
unexpectedly cut, HDLink would automatically switch over to the SDI video input which could
be from a nearby SDI source. Similarly HDLink would automatically switch to the optical fiber
SDI source should the SDI input be unexpectedly lost.
To switch between SDI input and Optical Fiber SDI input, ensure a video signal is being sent
to the desired input and then simply stop the signal on the input which you no longer require.
HDLink will automatically switch over and receive video from the desired input.

HDLink Optical Fiber features an indicator lamp to show the operational status of the unit:
Off - HDLink Optical Fiber is powered off.
Dim - HDLink Optical Fiber is powered on but is not receiving a valid SDI video signal via either
SDI or Optical Fiber SDI inputs.
Bright - HDLink Optical Fiber is powered on and is receiving a valid SDI video signal via either
or both SDI and Optical Fiber SDI inputs.
