Product Description
The 3-CH 12G-SDI Video + 1000M PoE++ to Fiber Converter is a high-performance, multifunctional media conversion device designed for professional broadcast, live event production, and demanding security surveillance applications. It seamlessly integrates three critical functions into a single, compact unit: transmitting three independent channels of ultra-high-definition 12G-SDI video signals, providing high-power PoE++ (Power over Ethernet Plus Plus) to a network device, and converting all data for transmission over a single optical fiber.
This converter solves the challenge of long-distance, high-bandwidth signal transmission by converting electrical signals to optical signals, enabling reliable, low-latency, and interference-free transmission over many kilometers. It is the ideal solution for simplifying cabling, extending reach, and ensuring signal integrity in complex AV and IP-based systems.
Key Features
● Triple 12G-SDI Input: Supports three independent channels of 12G-SDI video, each capable of carrying 4K/UHD (up to 3840x2160@60Hz) or 4x 3G-SDI/HD-SDI signals. ● Backward compatible with 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI, and HD-SDI standards.
● High-Power PoE++ Provision: Integrates an IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++) compliant switch port, delivering up to 60W of power to connected devices such as PTZ cameras, wireless ● access points, or other network equipment, eliminating the need for separate power cabling.
● Long-Distance Fiber Optic Transmission: Utilizes single-mode or multimode SFP optical modules (user-selectable) to transmit all data—three video streams and Ethernet—over a single fiber strand, achieving distances from 550 meters up to 20+ kilometers, immune to EMI/RFI.
● Ultra-Low Latency: Features near-zero latency signal processing, ensuring real-time video delivery critical for live production and monitoring.
● Robust Signal Integrity: Equipped with advanced re-timing and equalization technology to restore signal quality, compensating for cable degradation over long copper runs before fiber conversion.
● Compact and Rugged Design: Housed in a sturdy, metal enclosure suitable for rack-mounting or desktop use. Features a fanless design for silent operation.
● Comprehensive Monitoring: Includes status indicator LEDs for power, SDI signal lock, optical link, and PoE status for easy installation and troubleshooting.
Applications
● Broadcast & Live Events: Long-distance transmission of multiple 4K camera feeds from remote stages or outside broadcast (OB) vans to the production truck.
● Professional AV Systems: Extending 4K video sources (e.g., media players, PCs) and control data to displays and projectors in stadiums, museums, and command centers.
● High-End Security/Surveillance: Connecting multiple 4K/HD SDI PTZ cameras over vast perimeters (airports, campuses, critical infrastructure) using a single fiber, while powering the cameras via PoE++.
● Medical Imaging: Reliable transmission of high-resolution surgical or diagnostic video.
**Any application requiring the extension of multiple SDI signals and network connectivity over long distances with simplified infrastructure.
