SD/HD/3G/12G + Analog Audio + RS Data + Tally Fiber Optic
Overview
12G-SDI UHD multi-function fiber optic transmitter and receiver sets are now
combining multiple effective inputs and outputs to follow client demand of the
market. Through a single optical fiber these units can transmit one channel of
bidirectional 12G-SDI video, bidirectional 3.5 stereo audio, and bidirectional
RS232/485/422 serial port data/bidirectional tally signal with CWDM
technology, All this is completed with zero delay and no compression, of high-
quality signal extension of 10km.
Easy to use plug and play devices. The set comes with the transmitter,
receiver, and both power supplies. ST/PC connectors are standard. Effective in
both hot and cold weather and of course electromagnetic averse.
Application
- SMPTE compatible SDI for easy distribution of video with audio/RS Data/Tally
- UHDTV/4K/8K/HDTV/SDTV video
- Stadium, education, house of worship, private, military

Connection Diagram
The connection diagram is for reference only
Attention
It is recommended to use the short optical fiber link for the first time to
ensure that all the functions of the equipment are normal, and then connect
longer distance fiber.
The signal of fiber optic converter can be output to a power amplifier, but
the audio source of the power amplifier can’t output the audio source signal
to the fiber optic converter, otherwise the equipment will be terminated.
Troubleshooting Indicators
- Power indicator is abnormal (POWER);
- Answer: Check whether the power adapter meets the equipment requirements or the power adapter fails
- Whether the socket is not tight or loose
- Fiber indicator is abnormal (FIBER);
- Answer: Check whether the optical fiber interface is loose and not plugged in
- Check whether the optical fiber is too much attenuated
- Video indicator is abnormal (VIDEO);
- Answer: Check the signal source
- Replace the video cable
- Data indicator is abnormal (DATA);
- Answer: Check the COM port, whether the baud rate is consistent
- Check whether the serial port cable is connected backwards
Attention: Lightning protection, static electricity and grounding:
It is recommended that when install the device, YOU MUST GROUND THE UNITS. Strong static electricity will damage the optical device and data chip in the equipment. It is recommended that when you plug/unplug the data port of the optical converter, please disconnect the power supply of the optical converter first.
Fiber and optic components:
Be careful when plugging the optical fiber in as optical components of the optical converter are very fragile, and you should avoid causing damage to the optical components. It should be noted that the light source produced by the optical components of the optical converter will DAMAGE your eyes, so do not have direct eye contact with the optical components of the optical converter. If you need to detect the optical power of the optical converter, please use an optical power meter.
Equipment and installation procedures:
- Optical fiber installation: please carefully insert the optical fiber into the optical fiber interface of the optical terminal after confirming that the optical fiber link meets the installation requirements.
- Power amplified audio signal cannot be directly given to the transmitter, which will lead to the burning machine out.
