This compact converter is designed to transmit high‑bandwidth HDMI video signals over exceptional distances using SMPTE optical fiber technology. It allows HDMI sources such as computers, switchers or cameras to be delivered across large studio spaces, event venues or remote production environments where conventional copper cabling cannot reach. By inserting a compatible 3G, 6G or 12G‑SDI SMPTE optical SFP module, the unit converts the incoming HDMI feed into robust optical SDI while maintaining full image fidelity up to Ultra HD at 2160p60. This enables clean, noise‑free transport over single‑mode fiber links that extend far beyond the limitations of traditional coaxial infrastructure.
Signal accuracy is preserved throughout the chain thanks to automatic format detection across all major SD, HD and Ultra HD broadcast standards. Whether the HDMI source outputs progressive, interlaced or PsF signals, the internal processing ensures consistent results with no manual configuration required. The converter also supports up conversion, allowing SD and HD material to be displayed on Ultra HD monitors connected further downstream. This makes it an effective solution in mixed‑resolution workflows where equipment across the facility may operate at different standards. The optical output is fully compliant with 12G‑SDI specifications, ensuring compatibility with high‑end routers, fiber receivers and field production gear used throughout the broadcast industry.
Professional audio integration is supported through balanced analog XLR connections and four‑channel 110‑ohm AES or EBU digital audio. Operators can pass audio directly from mixers, recorders or embedded HDMI sources into the optical SDI stream, creating a unified signal path that maintains synchronization through long‑distance transport. The right channel XLR input can be assigned to receive incoming timecode, helping maintain precise synchronization in multi‑device environments where accurate timing is critical for post production, live broadcast and editorial workflows.
Configuration is handled through USB or Ethernet, offering quick local setup or remote administration across facility networks. The device supports optional front‑mounted smart panels featuring an LCD and tactile controls, providing instant visual confirmation and simplified menu navigation.
