Blackmagic Design HDLink Manual De Instalación Y Funcionamiento página 18

Valid video signals supported by HDLink Optical Fiber include 2K, HD1080, HD720,
NTSC and PAL. Computer video formats are generally not supported unless they
coincidentally match a TV format. HDLink can be used to monitor the output of a
Blackmagic Design DVI Extender in either Video or Extender (computer resolution)
modes. Detailed information is available in the DVI Extender manual. Please see the
following HDLink specifications link for a full listing of current formats supported via
DVI and HDMI displays. www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/hdlink/techspecs/
HDLink is preconfigured for you, requiring no initial setup to connect. Your HDLink
will simply run without changing any settings, however, if you would like to update the
firmware, modify settings or load custom gamma tables, then use the HDLink Utility
software. This can be downloaded from the Blackmagic Design web site support page.

HDLink Optical Fiber uses the same software as other HDLink models and shares the
same software interface for changing settings including 3D LUTs. 3D and 1D lookup
tables can be applied to the DVI/HDMI output of HDLink Optical Fiber. If HDLink
Optical Fiber is configured to send lookup tables to all video outputs, the lookup
tables will be applied to both the SDI and optical fiber SDI outputs in addition to the
DVI/HDMI output.
DVI-D monitors are shown in most of the connection diagrams shown for this HDLink
model. An HDMI display can be used in all cases except for 2K monitoring as HDMI
displays do not have sufficient resolution to display a full 2K image. HDMI displays
are best for use with HD720p50 as most DVI displays do not support this format.
The included DVI-to-HDMI adapter can be used to attach an HDMI display to the
DVI output of HDLink. HDLink Optical Fiber provides SDI and optical fiber SDI inputs
which can be used for standard definition SDI, HD-SDI 4:2:2, 3 Gb/s HD-SDI 4:4:4
video or 2K film.
The fiber optic module, included with HDLink Optical Fiber, is a standard SFP
transceiver module which includes an LC connector port for attaching fiber optic
cables. While other kinds of optical connectors exist, the SMPTE standard for Optical
Fiber SDI specifies that LC type optical fiber connectors be used and this makes it
easy for all SMPTE compliant optical equipment to connect together.
The consumer level analog audio outputs are fully compatible with a wide range of
consumer HiFi equipment and are perfect for monitoring of stereo audio or even up
to 6 channels of audio. 2 channel audio output via HDMI is provided for maximum
compatibility with HDMI TVs and monitors.
