Blackmagic Design Mini Converter - Optical Fiber 12G (SFP Optical Module not included)

The Blackmagic Design Mini Converter Optical Fiber 12G lets you send 12G-SDI video over long distances using low cost optical fiber cables. It converts SDI to optical fiber and optical fiber back to SDI at the same time, so a single unit handles both directions of a bidirectional link.

The multi-rate 12G-SDI connections automatically detect the format and work with all SD, HD and Ultra HD equipment up to 2160p60, including Level A and B devices. An open SFP socket means you can fit any standard 3G, 6G or 12G-SDI optical module to match your cabling.
