Gefen announced its new GefenPro 3G SDI Fiber Optics Extender, which the company says offers a long-range method of extending any 3G SDI source, exceeding previous distance limitations. The sender/receiver system is packaged in a small dongle format, offering a rugged construction with a small footprint that can be installed anywhere in plug and play fashion, according to company officials.
Sender and receiver units are connected to the 3G SDI source and the remote destination up to 12.5 miles away. A single-mode fiber optics cable terminated in ST connections links the source (sender) to the destination (receiver), offering a clear video signal transmission.
The solution supports all standard and high definition SDI formats, including the newest 3G SDI format. It can handle resolutions up to 1080p, 1920×1200 and 2K.
Latch-locking power connectors on both sender and receiver units eliminate potential disconnects in the field, while automatic input equalization and output re-clocking enhance performance. The units’ die-cast metal enclosures are designed to work in challenging environments, Gefen said.
