Blackmagic Design - Mini Converter - Optical Fiber 12G

Mini Converter Optical Fiber 12G converts SDI to optical fiber and optical fiber to SDI at the same time and in both directions, even with different video standards going in each direction.

Thanks to the multi rate 12G-SDI connections it is compatible with all SD, HD and Ultra HD formats and equipment up to 2160p60 also with both Level A and B devices. Any standard 3G, 6G or 12G-SDI SFP optical fiber module can be installed, to allow SDI sending also with low cost optical fiber cables, like the ones commonly used for computer networks.
