Description
The 12G-SDI Uncompressed 4K Optical Transceiver is a professional broadcast-grade fiber transmission solution designed for real-time, long-distance transmission of 4K Ultra HD video, embedded audio, and bi-directional RS485 data.
Powered by an advanced FPGA video processing architecture and integrated SDI re-clocking technology, it ensures zero-latency, frame-loss-free, and uncompressed 4K video signal extension over single-mode or multi-mode fiber optic cables.
Fully compliant with SMPTE ST-2082 standards, this versatile transceiver supports resolutions up to 4K@60Hz (2160p60), ASI transmission, and adaptive backward compatibility with 6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI sources.
Featuring hot-swappable SFP LC optical modules (standard 10km, optional up to 80km) and flexible deployment options (standalone desktop units or high-density 1U/2U/4U rackmount chassis), it is the ultimate tool for mission-critical broadcast, live production, and remote video transport.
Key Features
- Uncompressed 4K@60Hz Transmission: Extends pristine 12G-SDI video up to 2160p60 with zero compression, zero artifacts, and ultra-low latency.
- FPGA Processing & Re-Clocking Engine: Built-in SDI clock recovery eliminates signal jitter, preventing frame dropping and screen freezing during long-haul fiber transport.
- Long-Distance Fiber Connectivity: Comes standard with a 10km hot-swappable SFP LC module; supports optional 20km, 40km, 60km, and 80km transmission modules.
- Bi-Directional RS485 Data: Integrated 3-pin Phoenix terminal for bi-directional PTZ camera control or tally/data signals (baud rate up to 115,200 bps).
- Modular & Rackmount Scalability: Supports standalone box use or high-density insertion into 1U/2U/4U rackmount chassis (supports CWDM/WDM multi-channel multiplexing).
- Broadcast Standards & ASI Support: Fully compliant with SMPTE ST-2082, ST-2081, 424M, 292M, 259M, and DVB-ASI signals.
- Plug & Play / Hot-Swappable: Supports hot-plugging, BNC cable equalization (up to 80m on 12G-SDI), and wide-range operating environments.
Target Applications
- Engineered for demanding high-bandwidth video extension:
- Broadcast & OB Vans: Live 4K TV broadcasting, outside broadcast trucks, remote newsgathering, and master control room links.
- Live Events & Arenas: Large-scale concert staging, stadium displays, and multi-camera live switching.
- Pro AV & Enterprise: 4K video conferencing, medical imaging/teaching, digital signage, and high-definition surveillance.
