OTX 1812
3G SDI to Fiber Optic Transmitter
The OTX 1812 is a compact SDI to fiber optic transmitter designed to combat the restrictions involved with the distribution of uncompressed broadcast quality video signals over long distances.
When paired with the fiber optic to SDI receiver (e.g. yellobrik ORX 1802) you have a very cost effective optical transmission / receiver system for signals up to 1080p60 (3Gbit/s), while preserving full uncompressed quality.
The OTX 1812 provides a looping SDI input and support for LC, ST or SC singlemode fiber connections as well as an LC version suitable for multimode fiber.
The OTX 1812 will auto-detect and re-clock any 270Mbit / 1.5Gbit and 3Gbit SDI source prior to optical transmission and is completely transparent, transporting all video and any embedded audio / ancillary or metadata present on the SDI stream.
Key Features
- Supports SDI video inputs up to 3Gbit/s (1080p60)
- 3Gbit Level A and Level B support (all formats)
- Auto reclocking 270Mbit / 1.5Gbit / 2.97Gbit
- Error free optical transmission
- Reclocked SDI loop out connection
- Transports entire SDI payload including all embedded audio and all ancillary / metadata.
- Versions for LC, ST or SC fiber connections
- Multimode version available
- Up to 10km* (6.2 miles*) @ 3Gbit/s (singlemode)
- Up to 300m* (984 feet*) @ 3Gbit/s (multimode)
- Supports hot swapping and hot plugging
*Distance is an approximation. Actual distances achieved can be longer or shorter depending on the type of cable. Determine link losses and perform optical budget calculations to ensure correct operation
