Description
Work with remote cameras up to 2 km away from your studio or outside broadcast truck using SMPTE fiber. The Blackmagic Design Studio Fiber Converter converts SDI video, audio, and remote camera control connections into a single optical fiber cable, which connects to a Blackmagic Camera Fiber Converter attached to a remote camera. All video and data are transmitted using standard IP for extremely low latency broadcast quality video. You get 12G-SDI for an HD or Ultra HD camera feed and 3 independent HD return feeds, along with standard connections for camera control, PTZ, two dual channel talkback intercoms, tracker talkback, tally and a 5 inch LCD screen for monitoring camera and return feeds. The Blackmagic Studio Fiber Converter also provides power for your remote cameras and accessories.
The Blackmagic Studio Fiber Converter is used at the other end of your broadcast camera chain back in the studio or outside broadcast truck. It converts signals from the remote camera back into standard television industry connections that can be used with your live production switchers, audio mixers and talkback interfaces. It features a high capacity power supply to drive the cable so it can provide enough power for your camera and any accessories that you might add. The studio fiber converter includes connections for tally, two dual channel intercoms for industry standard 3rd party talkback systems, and even a backup engineering talkback channel in case the fiber goes down. You get a main Ultra HD camera feed plus 3 independent HD return feeds with full remote camera control, PTZ, tracker talkback and ethernet, all through a single SMPTE fiber cable. Plus, there is a large 5 inch LCD screen right next to the SMPTE fiber connection on the front panel for monitoring signals from the remote camera. This allows for easy patching and verification of the remote camera function!
The Blackmagic Design Studio Fiber Converter is a bi-directional fiber optic interface for the Blackmagic Camera Fiber Converter. Able to communicate with a Camera Fiber Converter up to 1.6 miles away, the Studio Fiber Converter can be implemented in OB vans, television studios, and large venues to carry video, audio, communication, and control signals over a single SMPTE fiber connection. On the rear panel, SDI connections for HD or UHD 4K video and HD return feeds are available. Audio breaks out from the four XLR connections. Additional connections include reference in and out, PTZ and intercom/tally on D connectors, Ethernet, and SFP fiber (requires separately available SFP cage). The front panel features a lone SMPTE fiber connector for the Camera Fiber Converter and a 5″ display.
