The DLC156 is an innovative, six channel TDM multiplexer for 

transporting uncompressed and compressed video over dark fiber or 

managed optical networks such as ROADM and OTN. Users can mix and 

match SD-SDI, ASI, HD-SDI, or 3G-SDI services into a single 10.7 Gb/s 

optical transport stream. 

The DLC156 is a space efficient, cost-effective module for transporting up 

to six HD-SDI or three 3G-SDI digital video services over a single optical wavelength, 

saving fiber cost and simplifying network design and deployment. Using time division 

multiplexing (TDM), each channel is assigned a fixed time-slot, eliminating complex 

configurations. Six independent, mixed format video signals are aggregated to a 

single wavelength and two time slots can be combined to carry 3G-SDI. 

The DLC156 supports links in excess of 80 km using industry standard, hot 

swappable 10G XFP transceivers in WDM, CWDM, and DWDM wavelengths. Installing 

a DLC156 repeater between the link source and destination extends the range of 

a link. Up to 240 uncompressed HD channels are possible over a single fiber. For 

additional flexibility, the DLC156 can also be used as a transport aggregator for 

Artel’s DLC274 four-channel TDM module supporting as many as 960 270 Mb/s video 

services over a single fiber. 

With its format flexibility, easy configuration, and competitive price, the DLC156 is 

an ideal solution for fiber constrained, multi-service video transport applications.

The DLC170AD converts analog video and audio to SDI (SMPTE 259M) 

and provides optical transport. Used with the DLC170DA, the design 

insures full TV-1 RS250-C “short haul” analog performance over a true 

SMPTE 259M SD-SDI optical transport link. 

The DLC170AD uses advanced high performance 12-bit video processing with adaptive 

3D comb filters to convert NTSC-M /PAL-B/G analog composite video to ITU-R BT.601/656 

compliant, 525 or 625 line, 4:2:2 component digital video. Four channels of analog 

audio are converted to 24-bit digital signals and sampled at 48 kHz and then embedded 

into the digital video per SMPTE 272M for a total of 4 analog channels. The audio can be 

inserted into any one of the four groups. 

Using the backplane to provide jumper free connections, additional audio channel 

groups can be added by cascading the DLC170AD digital output to one or more DLC150E 

audio embedders. An SFP installed into the final module provides the optical output of 

the combined signals. 

A front panel monitor jack can be selected to output either analog or digital video. When 

set to analog, the incoming analog video can be checked for signal level and quality 

using conventional analog video equipment. When set to digital, the converted video 

in 270Mb/s SDI format with embedded audio can be checked using digital video test 

equipment.

The DLC170DA converts optically received SDI to composite analog 

video (NTSC or PAL) and analog or AES audio. Used with the DLC170AD, 

the design insures full TV-1 RS250-C “short haul” analog performance 

over a true SMPTE 259M SD-SDI optical transport link. Additionally, 

it can be used as an optical receiver for all digital signals from 19.39 

ATSC to 1.485Gb/s HD-SDI making the DLC170DA ideal for the eventual 

conversion from analog to digital video transport. 

The innovative module uses advanced video and audio processing for exceptional quality 

conversion of SDI (SMPTE 259M) to composite video and analog audio. It accepts a 

270Mb/s 525/625 line SDI input from either the optical SFP receiver or the backplane, then 

converts it to composite analog and audio signals. 

The received optical signal can be directed to the backplane for additional channel 

groups to be processed by other cards in the DigiLink chassis. Audio embedded per 

SMPTE 272M levels A, B, and C can be extracted as either four balanced analog audio 

channels or two stereo AES digital audio streams. 

A front panel video monitor with analog or digital selector switch allows the incoming 

digital (with embedded audio) or composite analog output to be monitored using conventional 

digital/analog video equipment.

of 10/100/1000 traffic with optical connectivity. 

The innovative design of the DLC205 enables users to aggregate 9 channels, 5 external 

and 4 internal, of 10/100/1000 Ethernet traffic for transport across electrical or optical 

networks, all in a low cost, single slot DigiLink module. The module is fully nonblocking 

with a total capacity of 18 Gigabits of traffic and each port independently supports 

10/100/1000 Ethernet. The four internal ports can be linked to other modules in a DigiLink 

chassis to provide internal Ethernet connectivity eliminating the need of external cabling. 

Unlike more complicated designs that require dedicated trunking modules and switching 

matrixes, the DLC205 is a simple Ethernet aggregator compatible with all DigiLink chassis 

providing a simple, reliable, and low cost solution for transporting video centric traffic and 

chassis management across Ethernet networks.

Designed as a cost-effective solution for transport of uncompressed 

HD-SDI over managed Ethernet IP networks, the DLC450 utilizes 

SMPTE 2022-5/6 IP Encapsulation and Forward Error Correction (FEC) 

algorithms to ensure reliable, error-free transport and compliance with 

industry standards. 

The DLC450 is a cost effective DigiLink compatible module enabling a single channel 

of uncompressed HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M) to be transported over a managed Ethernet 

network. 

Integrating seamlessly within the DigiLink platform, the DLC450 is customer configurable 

via DigiLink Manager or via SNMPv2 as either a transmitter or receiver. In transmitter 

mode, the DLC450 packetizes the video to SMPTE 2022-6 encapsulation standard and 

provides users with flexible SMPTE 2022-5 FEC configurations to maximize reliability and 

minimize latency and overhead. In receiver mode, its robust multi-pass FEC correction 

algorithm and user configurable packet buffering enable reliable performance over 

less than ideal Ethernet links. The DLC450 sets the bar for reliable, low cost, and easy to 

configure HD-SDI transport over IP.

The DLC610 is a low cost DigiLink based module enabling a single HD- 

SDI signal to be compressed via JPEG2000 then encapsulated into DVB- 

ASI including Audio and Ancillary data for transport across DVB- ASI 

compatible networks. 

The DLC610 module is a user programmable JPEG2000 encoder or decoder featuring low 

latency with industry standard ASI encapsulation. It is an ideal solution for transporting 

high quality HD-SDI signals across DVB-ASI compatible networks. The DLC610 utilizes the 

IntoPix® compression core to compress HD-SDI into an 80 to 180Mb/s JPEG2000 video 

codestream and then, encapsulated with all audio and ancillary data, into DVB-ASI per 

industry standards. The resulting DVB-ASI stream is now ready to be transported via fiber 

links, Gig-E, and/or optical networks for decoding and delivery using another DLC610 or 

other industry standard JPEG2000 decoders. 

The flexible design enables the DLC610 to be used as a low-cost standalone solution 

for integration into industry standard ASI equipment, or work in the highly integrated 

DigiLink platform with its internal routing of video and Ethernet traffic for transport, 

trunking, and distribution.
