AJA FiDO-R-12G-ST 1-Channel Single-Mode ST Fiber to 12G-SDI Receiver

The FiDO-R-12G-ST carries one 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI channel back from single-mode fiber, with cable runs up to 10 km (32,808 ft). AJA fits it with a locking ST barrel rather than LC, and gives it two matching 12G-SDI BNC outputs so one fiber run can feed two destinations. Fiber transport also isolates the two ends electrically, which is the practical cure for the ground loops that show up on long copper runs between rooms, trucks and stages.

FiDO converters sit in a low-profile enclosure that fits behind a monitor, in the back of a rack or on a camera rig, and the locking ST barrel connector is what distinguishes this model from the rest of the family. It runs on 5 to 20V DC from the included universal power supply, reclocks the supported rates automatically and passes everything else through untouched. AJA covers its Mini-Converters with a five year warranty.
