4-Channel 3G-SDI Fiber Optic Extender System with 4-Wire Intercom, Genlock, Timecode (TC/BB), 10/100M Ethernet & V-Mount Camera Adapters – Fiber Converter Base Station for Live Production & OB Vans
- COMPLETE 4-CAMERA FIBER SYSTEM: Streamline live broadcast production with an all-in-one fiber solution. Connects up to 4 camera adapters to a single 1RU rackmount base station over long-distance dual LC fiber cables.
- INTEGRATED 4-CHANNEL INTERCOM: Features a 4-wire XLR balanced audio intercom interface (3-pin XLR male/female) supporting all 4 channels at the base. Fully compatible with broadcast partyline systems like Clear-Com IF4W4.
- COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL TRANSMISSION: Transmits uncompressed 3G-SDI video, Genlock synchronization, Timecode/Blackburst (TC/BB), and 10/100M Ethernet network data simultaneously per camera feed.
- COMPACT V-MOUNT CAMERA ADAPTERS: Includes mini, feature-packed camera adapters equipped with V-mount plates, integrated PTT (Push-To-Talk) buttons, volume controls, ITC headset jacks, and Tally outputs.
- RACKMOUNT BASE STATION FOR OB VANS: Heavy-duty 1RU base station equipped with 4x Dual LC fiber ports, 4x 3G-SDI outputs, Genlock/TC/BB connectors, 4x Ethernet ports, Tally output, and a universal AC 90–240V power supply.
Product Description
Upgrade your live broadcast and EFP (Electronic Field Production) workflow with this high-performance 4-Channel 3G-SDI Fiber Optic Transmission System. Designed for outside broadcast (OB) vans, studio productions, and live event recording, this system transports multi-camera video, audio, intercom, tally, and control data over long distances via dual core LC fiber optic cables.
Key Capabilities
- All-in-One 4-Wire Intercom: Built-in 4-channel audio interface with 3-pin XLR Speak/Listen ports allows seamless communication between OB van engineers and camera operators. Easily interfaces with standard partyline intercom systems.
- Multi-Signal Transmission: Each camera channel carries:
1) 3G-SDI Video (Input on adapter $\rightarrow$ Output on base unit)
2) Genlock & Timecode / Blackburst (TC/BB)
3) 10/100M Ethernet for camera control / network data
4) Intercom audio with PTT functionality
- Camera-Side Convenience: Compact camera adapters come integrated with standard V-Mount plates for easy camera attachment, dedicated PTT buttons, volume knobs, headset connectors, and protective dust covers on optical connectors.
- Robust Base Unit: The 1RU rackmount unit centralizes all inputs/outputs, featuring dual LC optical connectors, individual Ethernet ports, BNC outputs, XLR balanced audio ports, and internal AC 90–240V power supply.
