Product description

The bi-directional Mini Converter Optical Fiber 12G converts SDI to optical and lets you extend transmission distances considerably, up to 16 km. This can substantially reduce costs and increase the distance of camera positions in live broadcasts. Cameras can work up to 16 km away from the control room, recorders and switchers over low-cost optical cabling. The converter also gives more flexibility when fitting out studios, sports stadiums or cultural and conference halls.

SDI over optical for kilometers

Converts SDI to optical and optical back to SDI at the same time, and each direction can even carry a different video standard.

12G-SDISFP socketUp to 2160p60Bi-directionalPower supply included

One converter, two paths

Multi-rate 12G-SDI supports SD, HD and Ultra HD up to 2160p60. A standard 3G, 6G or 12G-SDI SFP optical module can be installed in the socket; the SFP module is not included.

Remote cameras

Bring a camera up to 16 km to the control room over low-cost optical cabling.

Stadiums and arenas

Link positions at large outdoor events and in sports arenas.

Two directions

Send a different signal the other way at the same time, such as program from the control room.

Secure power

The power supply has a locking connector that will not pull out.

Two converters in one

Mini Converter Optical Fiber 12G converts SDI to optical and optical back to SDI at the same time, and each direction can carry a different video standard. Each direction works independently of the other and carries 16 channels of embedded audio.

Standard SFP optical module

Any standard 3G, 6G or 12G-SDI SFP optical module can be installed in the SFP socket, so you can send SDI over the same low-cost optical cabling that is commonly used for computer networks. The SFP module is not included – Blackmagic offers 3G, 6G and 12G-SDI modules.

12G-SDI up to 2160p60

The multi-rate 12G-SDI connections are compatible with all SD, HD and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60 and with level A and B 3G-SDI equipment. Reclocking and ASI support keep the signal clean along the whole route.

Power with a locking connector

The included universal power supply has a locking connector, so the power cannot be accidentally disconnected. The converter has no user controls – it detects the format itself and draws just 2 W.

In the rack, in the truck and outdoors

The Mini Converter range of converters is built for 24/7 operation: the compact metal body fits into a studio rack, an outside broadcast truck or a live sports event outdoors. The connections are easy to reach and use standard cables.
