Overview

FiDO-R offers unmatched flexibility and cost efficiency for SDI to Fiber conversion, allowing for long cable runs up to 10 km (32,808 ft) with electrical isolation - useful for eliminating ground loop problems. FiDO converters use a compact, low profile enclosure that works well in tight spaces around and behind equipment racks, trucks and on camera.

Features:

• 1-Channel Single Mode LC Fiber to 3G-SDI Receiver
• Simplex connection (LC connector)
• 3G/HD/SD-SDI OUTPUT
• Dual, matching SDI outputs
• Supports pass-through of SDI metadata, including HDR
• Uses 5-20VDC power (Universal power supply included)
• Five year warranty

HDR Pass-Through Support

HDR or High Dynamic Range, provides the ability to display a wider and richer range of colors, much brighter whites, and much deeper, darker blacks than SDR or Standard Dynamic Range signals allow. This gives your imagery a more ‘dynamic’ look and allows for natural true to life colors to be communicated to your audience.

Universal Power Supply

Customers can purchase a spare universal power supply for use with any of their Mini-Converters. This universal power supply includes international plug connections for use around the world.

Compact and Portable

AJA Mini-Converters are small enough to fit behind a monitor, in the back of a rack, or directly on a camera rig. A locking power connector can't accidentally pull loose and an optional P-TAP power cable allows for battery power in remote locations.
