Crystal Vision Introduction
FRX204 User Manual R1.01 2 24/05/05
1 Introduction
The FRX204 is a dual re-clocking optical serial digital video receiver and distribution
amplifier with up to two outputs per channel.
The universal connection system allows a mixture of Crystal Vision modules in the frame.
The modules plug in the front and the rear connectors plug in the rear. Depending on
frame design, a hinged or removable front panel reveals LED indication of input and PSU
status when opened.
FRX204 dual reclocking optical SDI distribution amplifier
The RM28 single slot rear connector provides two serial digital outputs per channel with
up to 24 modules in 4U of rack space.
The range of Crystal Vision optical boards has been designed to work in conjunction with
the Indigo 4 frames, or Issue 2 Indigo 1, 2 or DT frames. The board may be plugged into
any of the PCB slots, the only proviso being where it needs to be placed below a standard
definition board. The rules governing frame configuration are explained in the installation
chapter.
The Indigo frames have been designed to accept any selection of boards from our range of
standard definition, High Definition, audio and optical products. The high packing density
allows up to six modules in 1U, up to 12 modules in 2U and up to 24 modules in 4U.
The main features of the FRX204 are as follows:
•Dual 1-in 2-out optical to SDI distribution amplifier
•LED optical input presence indication.

FRX204 User Manual R1.01 3 24/05/05
2 Card edge operation
The front edge of the FRX204 card provides power rail monitoring and signal status.

LED Location/colour Meaning when lit
Optical
Input A
Green There is a modulated optical input present on input A.
Optical
Input B
Green There is a modulated optical input present on input B.
PSU Green Power supply voltage present.
Note. The optical input detectors will only detect an optical input that is modulated
so a steady state optical source may still be present even if the Input present
indicators are not illuminated.
Note. Caution must be taken when removing the FRX204 card if an optical
signal is present due to the possible damaging nature of high intensity light.
Although Crystal Vision optical products contain class 1 devices which are designed to be
unable to cause personal injury, you are advised not to look directly into a vacant optical
slot to avoid damage to the eyesight in case a piece of third party laser transmitting
equipment could be remotely connected to the Crystal Vision equipment.

FRX204 User Manual R1.01 4 24/05/05
3 Hardware installation
The Crystal Vision optical boards have been designed to work in conjunction with the
Indigo 4 frames, or Issue 2 Indigo 1, 2 or DT frames. All modules can be plugged in and
removed while the frame is powered without damage.
Links and settings
The FRX204 optical receiver does not contain any user adjustable controls.
Potentiometers P1 and P2, Jumper links PL2 and PL3 are factory set and require no
further adjustment.
Handling
Due to its fragile nature, fibre optic equipment must be handled with care. Sharp blows or
snagging the fibre pigtails will fracture the internal glass filament and destroy its light
carrying ability. A degraded performance will also result if a build-up of dust and dirt film
on the connector ferrules is allowed to occur. It is strongly recommended that the supplied
dust caps are in place whenever the receiver card or rear module are de-mounted for any
reason.
PCB connectors with the dust caps fitted
The RM28 rear module is also fitted with dust caps on both sides of the optical connector.
The pair of dust caps that are internal to the frame must be removed before the rear
module is fitted. The external pair can then be removed when the fibre tails are connected.
It is also recommended that dust caps should be re-fitted if the fibre tails are to be
removed for any length of time. Should the FRX204 be removed for a while it is
recommended that the rear module should also be removed and stored with the dust caps
in place.

RM28 rear module with dust caps fitted to both sides of the optical connector
3.1 Universal rear connectors
When using the RM28 single height rear connector, the 4U Indigo 4 frame will house up
to 24 modules and three power supplies, the 2U Indigo 2 frame will house up to 12
modules and dual power supplies, the 1U Indigo 1 frame will house six modules and a
single power supply. The desk top box will not currently accept the Crystal Vision optical
modules.
The Indigo frames have hinged front panels giving access to the PSU and all modules.
The universal frame wiring system allows any of the interface range of modules to be
fitted in (1) any position with the use of removable rear module.
(1) Due to height restraints, there are restrictions when mixing optical modules with other crystal vision modules.
Loading restrictions
The FRX204 can be loaded into any slot position of compatible frames but due to its extra
height it is not possible to place cards from the Crystal Vision standard definition or audio
range directly above it in certain positions. HD cards do not share this restriction.

3.2 General purpose interface
The external GPI control lines 'a' to 'f' at the frame remote connectors is provided to allow
remote control and/or remote status indication. The FRX204 has four GPI output lines
assigned for status reporting.

‘c’ Valid SDI video signal on input A Optical input on input A not valid video
‘d’ Valid SDI video signal on input A Optical input on input A not valid video
‘e’ Not assigned Not assigned
‘f’ Not assigned Not assigned
GPI lines are pulled up to +5V through 6k8 Ohm, 270 Ohm series resistor so they can
drive an LED directly. If the series resistor is shorted out, the GPI output can drive a bulb
at +45V 100mA max.

4 Using the active front panel
4.1 Module selected
This operational guide assumes that the panel has been set up according to the panel set
up procedure described in the Crystal Vision Control Panel manual.
Note: It is ESSENTIAL that the panel set up procedure is followed and any old or unknown
passwords cleared prior to using the panel for the first time.
At power up, the two-line 20-character screen will display ‘Crystal Vision’ followed by
the firmware version number for the control panel. All eight control panel key LED’s will
illuminate.
The Crystal Vision control panel start up display
'Control Panel' then briefly replaces the version number display.
If the control panel firmware has been updated for Statesman control (version 1.5.0 or
higher), Statesman Mode will be entered and the message, ‘Press CAL to Exit’ will be
displayed and the CAL LED will light.
Statesman mode is entered by default
