Blackmagic Design Mini Converter Optical Fiber 12G

From live events to large venue performances, the Blackmagic Mini Converter Optical Fiber 12G is a compact, bi-directional SDI to optical fiber converter that revolutionizes the way you extend SDI connections. This innovative device allows for the extension of SDI connections up to 10 miles away, transforming the way broadcasters cover live events by enabling camera placement at considerable distances from switchers, routers, and decks.

The Blackmagic Mini Converter Optical Fiber 12G is not just about distance; it's about versatility. It simultaneously converts SDI to optical fiber and vice versa, in both directions, making it a powerful tool for sending different video formats in different directions at the same time. This feature, coupled with the converter's ability to send signals up to 10 miles away from the source depending on the video format, makes it an indispensable asset for any broadcast setup.

Equipped with advanced 12G-SDI connections, the Mini Converter Optical Fiber 12G is multi-rate, automatically detecting the video signal and switching speeds to ensure compatibility with all SD, HD, and Ultra HD formats and equipment up to 2160p60, including Level A and B devices.

The converter features a standard SFP type socket, allowing for the addition of any SMPTE compatible 3G, 6G, or 12G-SDI SFP module. It's compatible with the same low-cost optical fiber cables commonly used for computer networks, offering a more affordable and longer-distance solution than traditional copper SDI cable.

Designed for global use, the Mini Converter Optical Fiber 12G comes with a universal power supply and four international socket adapters. It also features a screw lock connector to prevent accidental power cord disconnections, ensuring uninterrupted operation.

As part of the Blackmagic Mini Converters family, this device is part of a broad range of professional broadcast converters, including affordable Micro Converters and advanced models with an extensive feature set. This range includes 3G, 6G, and 12G-SDI models compatible with SD, HD, and Ultra HD up to high frame rate 2160p60. Blackmagic Mini Converters and Teranex Mini converters support a wide range of connections, including balanced analog and AES/EBU audio, redundant inputs, analog video, optical fiber, and more.
