The Lynx Technik yellobrik OTX-1712-ST Analog Sync/Video LC Fiber Optic Transmitter is a small analog sync or NTSC/PAL composite video to fiber optic transmitter. This technology is specifically designed to overcome the limitations associated with the long-distance dissemination of broadcast quality analog reference and composite video signals. When combined with the fiber optic receiver ORX 1702-2, you get a very cost-effective optical transmission solution for analog sync reference signals or NTSC/PAL composite video. This device is particularly important for distributing reference sync across faraway installations in order to ensure proper synchronization. Unlike other extremely simple analog-to-fiber conversion solutions, the OTX 1712-2 integrates technologies to preserve a very high degree of sync and burst phase stability during conversion and fiber transmission.
Before it is converted to fiber, the module converts the NTSC/PAL video signal to an SDI signal (containing reference and other important information). When the OTX 1712-2 is used with NTSC or PAL video sources, the fiber signal can be converted straight to SDI using an SDI receiver if necessary (e.g. ORX 1802). The OTX 1712 has a passive loop output and supports LC, ST, or SC single-mode fiber connections. An LC variant suitable for multimode fiber is also available.
