Blackmagic Fiber Converters
Blackmagic Camera Fiber Converter and Blackmagic Studio Fiber Converter are optional
accessories that provide a SMPTE fiber connection between your URSA Broadcast or
URSAMini camera and an ATEM switcher.
SMPTE fiber lets you you connect all video, power, talkback, tally and camera control signals
between an ATEM switcher and your camera using one single industry standard SMPTE
hybridfiber optic cable. Using a SMPTE fiber connection greatly reduces the amount of cables
required, which helps makes the production setup more efficient and simpler to setup.
Thestandard connectors on Blackmagic Studio Fiber Converter allow you to easily add the
fiber converters into an existing broadcast truck infrastructure.
Blackmagic Camera Fiber Converter
Mounts to the back of your URSA Mini or
URSA Broadcast and connects to the
Blackmagic Studio Fiber Converter via a
standard SMPTE hybrid 304 connector.
Blackmagic Studio Fiber Converter
This converter converts the optical fiber
SDI signal from the camera unit to SDI via
BNC, which is then connected to an
ATEMswitcher. The converter also takes
all return feed sources, including program
return from the ATEM switcher, and sends
them back to the camera unit.
The Blackmagic camera and studio fiber converters connect via optical fiber to provide efficient SDI video,
power, talkback, tally and control signals via a single SMPTE fiber optic cable.
