You get a main Ultra HD camera feed plus 3 independent HD return feeds with full remote camera control, PTZ, tracker talkback and ethernet, all through a single SMPTE fiber cable. The studio fiber converter includes connections for tally, two dual channel intercoms for industry standard 3rd party talkback systems, and even a backup engineering talkback channel in case the fiber goes down. It features a high capacity power supply to drive the cable so it can provide enough power for your camera and any accessories that you might add. It converts signals from the remote camera back into standard television industry connections that can be used with your live production switchers, audio mixers and talkback interfaces. The Blackmagic Studio Fiber Converter is used at the other end of your broadcast camera chain back in the studio or outside broadcast truck. If a damaged cable or an earth leak is detected, the power is instantly shut down to eliminate any danger to personnel. The converters communicate with each other to ensure that both a stable optical signal is present and that the power supply is operating within safe parameters. Both the studio and camera converters at each end have dedicated micro controllers that continuously monitor power status.

This means you can install cameras in remote locations without having to worry about power drops over long distances. Once plugged in, the Blackmagic Studio Fiber Converter automatically performs safety checks and then powers up, sending an industry standard 200 volts of power over the SMPTE cable for the camera and accessories. These cables feature a 2 way fiber pair, data pair and power pair, along with a central strength member that gives it the needed durability for continuous use. SMPTE Fiber for Industrial Strength and Safety Built in multi layer fail safe instantly cuts power to eliminate dangerīlackmagic fiber converters work with standard SMPTE 311M hybrid electrical and fiber optic cables with standard SMPTE 304 connectors on each end. Blackmagic fiber converters are also affordable, so traditional broadcasters, new web broadcasters, AV producers, houses of worship and educators can all use the same high end broadcast technology! Best of all, SMPTE fiber is a global broadcast industry standard so you can use cables and connection points that are commonly available. That means cameras can be placed anywhere and connected back to broadcast trucks parked outside of a venue or back to a central control room in a studio. Now you can solve this problem by converting all essential connections and power into a single convenient SMPTE fiber cable that can run incredibly long distances. This makes set up incredibly complex and increases the chances of a technical problem. Traditionally, you would need to run multiple cables and expensive extenders for power, talkback, tally, video and audio. While SDI connections are common, the limited range of SDI makes it hard to use it over long distances. If you’re working in a studio or out at a large sporting venue, you often need to place cameras far apart.
