I would be interested in the fiber optical switch for an automated failover scenario. I am not sure if this works, but trying to look for a solution where multiple digital video signals (HDMI and maybe SDI in addition) converted to optical fiber and be then wavelength multiplexed to send multiple video signals over one single fiber cable - and then having a unit to split that fiber signal to two identical signals run over two different cables and at the receiving end having an automatic failover switch to have two fiber inputs and one output which then is connected to a wavelength demultiplexer and afterwards converting to HDMI again. Is this feasible at all and might that even work? Would the switch time affect the video signals when a fail happens, or would this be possible without any interruptions? I was looking at the F-OS-2x1 for the failover switch

Accepted Answer

We do have  1 SDI or multiple (up to 16) over 1 fiber optical transport equipment available, so they can be used as SDI fiber converters. https://thorbroadcast.com/product/8-ch-sd-hd-3g-sdi-over-single-fiber-cwdm-uncompressed-rack-mountable.html   You could use the optical switch for failover, but there will be a 10ms switching time. So, depending on the frame rate, it will have a slight effect on 1 frame. At 60/59.94Hz, a 10ms interruption affects ~0.6 of a frame. At 30/29.94 Hz, a 10ms interruption affects ~0.3 of a frame. The lower the frame rate, the smaller the fraction of a frame disrupted by the same interruption duration.   At 59.94Hz: Frame Duration: Frame Duration=159.94≈16.68 ms per frame Frame Duration=59.941?≈16.68ms per frame Interruption: A 10ms interruption is less than one frame duration (16.68ms), so it would affect: 1016.68≈0.6 of a frame Conclusion: Less than 1 frame is affected, similar to 60Hz. 2. At 30Hz: Frame Duration: Frame Duration=130=33.33 ms per frame Frame Duration=301?=33.33ms per frame Interruption: A 10ms interruption is much shorter than one frame duration (33.33ms), so it would affect: 1033.33≈0.3 of a frame Conclusion: Less than 1 frame is affected, but a smaller portion compared to 59.94Hz or 60Hz.
