Blackmagic Design - Mini Converter

Optical Fiber Mini Converter, converts 3G-SDI signals to optical fiber and vice versa at the same time and in both directions, even with different video standards that proceed in each direction.

Thanks to the multi-rate 3G-SDI connections, it is compatible with all SD and HD equipment and formats, with automatic switching between them. Any standard SD, HD and 3G SFP optical fiber module can be installed, to allow SDI sending even with low-cost optical fiber cables, such as those commonly used for computer networks.

Universal power supply included.
