Blackmagic Mini Converter Optical Fiber 4K
Convert SD/HD and single link 6G-SDI to Optical Fiber and Optical Fiber to SD/HD and single link 6G-SDI
simultaneously. Mini Converter Optical Fiber automatically switches between SD/HD/3G/6G-SDI video
standards and both directions are completely independent. Use this converter if you need to send and
receive SDI signals over longer distances than traditional SDI cables will support. SD video can be sent up to
45 km or 147000 feet using optical fiber, compared to just 300 feet with copper SDI cables. 6G-SDI can be
sent up to 25 km away!
