AJA FiDO-TR-12G 1-Channel 12G-SDI Single-Mode LC Fiber Transceiver

The FiDO-TR-12G carries one 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI channel in each direction over single-mode fiber, with cable runs up to 10 km (32,808 ft). A transceiver puts the send and the return in one enclosure, which is what a camera position or a remote flypack needs when it has to both feed program out and take a return feed back. 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 single-mode LC 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.
