Thor Broadcast F-8SDI-B-3G-TxRx-RM 8 Bi-directional SD, HD, 3G-SDI Fiber Optic Transmitter and Receiver Kit with Loop-Out Outputs (Rack-Mountable)

F-8SDI-B-3G-TX/RX - 8 Bi-directional SD, HD, 3G-SDI Fiber Optic Transmitter and Receiver Kit with Loop-Out Outputs

The Thor Fiber F-8SDI-B-3G-TX/RX 8-channel CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) 3G-SDI fiber optic transmitter and receiver system is a powerful solution for long-distance video signal transmission. This setup allows for the simultaneous transmission of 8 bi-directional channels of video signals over a single optical fiber cable, supporting SD, HD, and 3G-SDI formats with loop-out outputs for enhanced flexibility.

• 8 Bidirectional Channel Capability: This system is equipped to handle up to 8 bdirectional video channels, making it ideal for applications where multiple video sources or feeds need to be transmitted.
• CWDM Technology: Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing technology is employed to efficiently combine and transmit these channels over a single fiber. Each channel is assigned a specific wavelength, allowing for the simultaneous transmission of multiple signals.
• 3G SDI Compatibility: It supports 3G SDI up to1080p/60, which is a high-quality digital video standard commonly used in professional broadcasting and video production.
• Single Mode Fiber Optic Transmission: The use of optical fiber ensures high bandwidth and reliability, making it suitable for long-distance transmission without signal degradation.
• Transmitter and Receiver: The system includes both a 19" rack mountable Transmitter and a receiver, ensuring a complete solution for sending and receiving video signals.

Benefits:

• Long-Distance Transmission: The use of fiber optics enables the transmission of video signals over significant distances, making it suitable for applications where traditional copper BNC cables would be impractical.
• Signal Quality: Fiber optics maintain the quality of the video signals over long distances, ensuring that the transmitted video is of high quality and free from interference.
• Space and Cable Reduction: With the ability to transmit 16 channels over a single fiber, this system eliminates the need for multiple copper BNC cables, reducing clutter and saving space in a broadcast or production environment.
• Ease of Installation: The system simplifies the installation process by using fiber optic cables with standard ST/PC connectors, which are thinner and more flexible than copper cables, making them easier to manage and route.
• Versatility: This system is versatile and can be used in a variety of applications, including live events, television studios, and remote broadcasting, where reliable and high-quality video transmission is essential.

In summary, the 8-channel bi-directional CWDM 3G-SDI fiber optic transmitter and receiver system offers a robust solution for long-distance, high-quality video signal transmission while eliminating the need for cumbersome copper BNC cables. This makes it a valuable asset in professional broadcasting and video production environments.

Features:

• 8 Bidirectional 3G SDI signals via CWDM optical multiplexing technology
• Each SDI signal has its own laser, and it's being converted to a different optical wavelength.
• The transmitter has a Loop out output for easy signal monitoring or SDI signal re-transmission.
• The receiver also has a loop out, meaning that each SDI input on the TX side has dual output on the RX side, allowing additional monitoring or retransmission on the RX side.
