Description

F-8SDI-B-3G-TX/RX – 8 Bi-directional SD, HD, 3G-SDI Fiber Optic Transmitter and Receiver Kit with Loop-Out Outputs

The Thor Fiber F-8SDI-B-3G-TX/RX 8-channel CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) 3G-SDI fiber optic transmitter and receiver system is a powerful solution for long-distance video signal transmission. This setup allows for the simultaneous transmission of 8 bi-directional channels of video signals over a single optical fiber cable, supporting SD, HD, and 3G-SDI formats with loop-out outputs for enhanced flexibility.

Description:

  • 8 Bidirectional Channel Capability: This system is equipped to handle up to 8 bdirectional video channels, making it ideal for applications where multiple video sources or feeds need to be transmitted.

  • CWDM Technology: Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing technology is employed to efficiently combine and transmit these channels over a single fiber. Each channel is assigned a specific wavelength, allowing for the simultaneous transmission of multiple signals.

  • 3G SDI Compatibility: It supports 3G SDI up to1080p/60, which is a high-quality digital video standard commonly used in professional broadcasting and video production.

  • Single Mode Fiber Optic Transmission: The use of optical fiber ensures high bandwidth and reliability, making it suitable for long-distance transmission without signal degradation.

  • Transmitter and Receiver: The system includes both a 19" rack mountable Transmitter and a receiver, ensuring a complete solution for sending and receiving video signals.

Benefits:

  • Long-Distance Transmission: The use of fiber optics enables the transmission of video signals over significant distances, making it suitable for applications where traditional copper BNC cables would be impractical.

  • Signal Quality: Fiber optics maintain the quality of the video signals over long distances, ensuring that the transmitted video is of high quality and free from interference.

  • Space and Cable Reduction: With the ability to transmit 16 channels over a single fiber, this system eliminates the need for multiple copper BNC cables, reducing clutter and saving space in a broadcast or production environment.

  • Ease of Installation: The system simplifies the installation process by using fiber optic cables with standard ST/PC connectors, which are thinner and more flexible than copper cables, making them easier to manage and route.

  • Versatility: This system is versatile and can be used in a variety of applications, including live events, television studios, and remote broadcasting, where reliable and high-quality video transmission is essential.

In summary, the 8-channel bi-directional CWDM 3G-SDI fiber optic transmitter and receiver system offers a robust solution for long-distance, high-quality video signal transmission while eliminating the need for cumbersome copper BNC cables. This makes it a valuable asset in professional broadcasting and video production environments.

 

Features

  • 8 Bidirectional 3G SDI signals via CWDM optical multiplexing technology
    Each SDI signal has its own laser, and it's being converted to a different optical wavelength.
    The transmitter has a Loop out output for easy signal monitoring or SDI signal re-transmission.
    The receiver also has a loop out, meaning that each SDI input on the TX side has dual output on the RX side, allowing additional monitoring or retransmission on the RX side.
    Compliant with SMPTE ST 425-3, ST 425-5, 259M-2006, 292-2006, 424M-2006.
    Supports transmission of SMPTE 305M-2005, 310M-2004, 344M-2000, and DVB-ASI.
    Up to 8 Bidirectional 3G SDI, 480i, 720p, 1080i and 1080p/60
    Supports up to 4x 4K/UHD at 60Hz (using 4x 3G SDI lines) and up to 8 x 4K/UHD at 30Hz (using 2x 3G SDI lines).
    Standard ST/PC fiber connector.
    The signal is equalized and re-clocked prior to fiber optic transmission.
    The receiver features four re-clocked SDI outputs.
    Includes pathological patterns over the entire link budget and operating temperature range.
    Single-Mode fiber only.
    3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs with or without embedded audio and data.
