Blackmagic Design Mini Converter - Optical Fibre 12G

The Mini Converter Optical Fiber 12G can extend SDI signals up to 10 miles (approximately 16 kilometers) over optical fiber, depending on the type of fiber cable and SFP module used.

Yes, the converter requires the user to install a compatible 3G, 6G, or 12G-SDI SFP optical fiber module. These modules are not included with the converter.

Yes, the converter supports different video standards for the SDI to fiber conversion and the fiber to SDI conversion simultaneously.

An international power supply with a locking connector is included, compatible with voltages from 6V to 36V DC.

The converter automatically detects the incoming SDI video standard (SD, HD, or Ultra HD) and configures itself to match, simplifying setup without manual input.

The maximum video resolution supported is 3840 x 2160 (Ultra HD) at up to 60 frames per second.

No, this converter is specifically designed for SDI to optical fiber and optical fiber to SDI conversion. It does not handle analog video formats.

Verify that both SDI and fiber connections are secure. Ensure the correct SFP module is installed and compatible with the video standard. Check that the input signal is within supported modes and frame rates. Confirm that different video standards are not being used in opposite directions if not intended.

Inspect the optical fiber cable and connectors for damage or dirt. Ensure the SFP module is properly seated. Check for excessive cable length or signal loss on the fiber run. Try a different fiber cable or SFP module.

Confirm the power supply is securely connected to both the converter and the wall outlet. Try a different power outlet. Ensure the input voltage is within the 6-36V range.

Check that embedded audio is present on the input SDI signal. Verify that the audio channels are correctly routed and that the connected equipment supports 16-channel embedded audio.
