One of its most significant advantages is the ability to transmit uncompressed, high-quality 12G-SDI video signals up to 10 kilometers over single-mode optical fiber. This is accomplished without introducing latency or signal degradation, making it an ideal solution for broadcast, live production, and high-resolution video workflows. Its compatibility with a wide range of SDI standards—from SD and HD to 3G, 6G, and 12G-SDI—ensures broad interoperability with existing infrastructure, while built-in signal equalization and clock recovery functions enhance stability and minimize jitter.
Another major benefit of this device is its flexibility and ease of integration. As a true plug-and-play solution, users can install it permanently or use it as a portable “throw-down” unit to accommodate various distances or interface requirements, making it highly adaptable to diverse deployment scenarios. The wide input voltage range (5–36V DC), compact desktop design, and optional V-mount power support make it particularly suitable for mobile and outdoor applications where portability and reliable performance are essential. Its low power consumption (<1.5W) and rugged build further enhance its appeal for both field and studio environments.
In terms of applications, the F-12GSDI-B-TX/RX excels in UHD/4K/8K video transport, digital video editing, IP media gateways, and any SMPTE-compliant video transmission setup. It supports full-color space formats including 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4:2:0, and is compatible with industry standards such as DVB-ASI and AES10 (MADI). Whether used in permanent broadcast installations or temporary live event setups, this converter delivers a reliable, high-fidelity method for transmitting video over fiber—with minimal setup and maximum durability.

This state-of-the-art professional broadcast equipment facilitates the transmission of 8 bidirectional channels of SD/HD/3G 4K/UHD video and audio signals over one fiber optic cable without any loss in quality for distances of 20, 40, 80, or 120Km. Additionally, it includes an SDI Loop out feature, allowing for the duplication or monitoring of the transmitted signal. This versatility makes it a valuable tool for video distribution and broadcasting applications where multiple channels and different video standards need to be efficiently managed and transmitted over long distances fiber optic lines or cables. Sold as a set, transmitter and receiver included in 1 RU standard rack mount chassis.
