Mini Converter Optical Fiber 4K
Convert SD/HD and single link 6G-SDI to Optical Fiber and Optical Fiber to SD/HD and single
link 6G-SDI simultaneously. Mini Converter Optical Fiber 4K automatically switches between
SD/HD/3G/6G-SDI video standards and both directions are completely independent. Use this
converter if you need to send and receive SDI signals over longer distances than traditional SDI
cables will support. SD video can be sent up to 45 km or 147000 feet using optical fiber,
compared to just 300 feet with copper SDI cables. 6G-SDI can be sent up to 12 km away!
