The Blackmagic Design Studio Fiber Converter is a bi-directional fiber optic interface for the Blackmagic Camera Fiber Converter. Able to communicate with a Camera Fiber Converter up to 1.6 miles away, the Studio Fiber Converter can be implemented in OB vans, television studios, and large venues to carry video, audio, communication, and control signals over a single SMPTE fiber connection. On the rear panel, SDI connections for HD or UHD 4K video and HD return feeds are available. Audio breaks out from the four XLR connections. Additional connections include reference in and out, PTZ and intercom/tally on D connectors, Ethernet, and SFP fiber (requires separately available SFP cage). The front panel features a lone SMPTE fiber connector for the Camera Fiber Converter and a 5" display.
