The Studio Fiber Converter provides a bi-directional SMPTE fiber interface designed for use with a Camera Fiber Converter, enabling remote camera connectivity for HD and UHD 4K productions. It carries video, audio, communications, and control signals over a single SMPTE fiber run, with reliable reach up to approximately 1.6 miles from the camera unit.

Key Features

• Bi-directional SMPTE fiber link, supports a single long-distance connection to a Camera Fiber Converter.
• HD and UHD 4K support with rear-panel SDI connections for program and HD return feeds.
• Audio breakout via four XLR connectors for balanced analog I/O and integration with audio mixers.
• Comprehensive control and reference including reference in/out, PTZ and intercom/tally on D connectors, and Ethernet for device control and network connectivity.
• Front panel convenience with a single SMPTE fiber connector for the camera link and a 5-inch display for status and signal monitoring.
• SFP cage ready, accepts industry-standard SFP modules (SFP module sold separately) for flexible fiber interface choices.

Use Cases

• Outside broadcast vans and OB trucks that require a single-fiber solution to carry multi-channel video and intercom back to base.
• Television studios and large venues where distance or routing makes copper SDI impractical, and a long-range SMPTE fiber link is preferred.
• Multi-camera live events that need return feeds, intercom and tally integration, and centralized audio connections.

Included with your rental

• Note: SFP modules and camera-side fiber converters are not included and must be rented separately if required.
