Bi-Directional 12G-SDI Transmitter & Receiver 1 channel bi-directional 12G SDI video

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.
