BLACKMAGIC MINI CONVERTER -OPTICAL FIBER 12G

Blackmagic Design Mini Converter Optical Fiber 12G

• Convert 12G/6G/3G-SDI to optical fiber
• Supports signals up to DCI 4K
• Multi-rate, bidirectional capability
• Automatic input signal detect
• 16-channel embedded audio

Compact converter for extending SDI connections over massive distances by converting SDI to optical fiber and optical fiber to SDI in both directions at the same time.
Mini Converter Optical Fiber 12G converts SDI to optical fiber and optical fiber to SDI in both directions at the same time, you can even have different video standards going in each direction.
The 12G‑SDI connections are multi rate, which makes it compatible with all SD, HD and Ultra HD formats and equipment up to 2160p60, including Level A and B devices. You can install any standard 3G, 6G or 12G‑SDI SFP optical fiber module so you can send SDI using the same low cost optical fiber cables that are commonly used for computer networks.

Built for any environment

Blackmagic Mini Converters are designed to be used anywhere. You can put them in equipment racks in the studio, on news trucks, or use them outside for live sports and other events.
Mini Converters have a straightforward, compact design that makes them easy to use and super reliable for 24/7 operation. The built in connections are easy to access and use standard cables, plus all models feature built in mini switches to quickly change settings. There’s even a diagram with switch settings printed on the back so you never have to look for the manual.

Safeguard against a damaged SDI cable

Anything can happen during a live production and you can’t afford to lose a signal and go off air.
All Blackmagic Mini Converters with SDI inputs feature an innovative redundant SDI input so you can run a second SDI cable as a back up in case one cable is damaged. This feature is great for outdoor use, or in large, crowded venues where there’s a chance cables might get damaged.
Often it makes sense to run the second cable on a different route than the first. If the main input is lost, the converter automatically switches over to the second input, so you’re always on air.

True broadcast quality for professional use

With the highest quality 10-bit video processing and low jitter SDI, Mini Converters are ideal for the stringent requirements of broadcast, post production and professional AV.
You get incredibly low noise levels when moving between analog and digital video formats.
Low SDI jitter and full SDI re-clocking means you can run long cable lengths without any loss of video quality.
Specific models include up/down/cross conversion that lets you move easily between PAL and NTSC SD video standards and the high number of HD formats, and then all the way up to massive 3840 x 2160 Ultra HD resolutions.
