Description
Product Overview
The AJA OG-FiDO-TR is an openGear 3G-SDI and single-mode LC fiber transceiver built for bidirectional signal transport in professional video systems. It supports independent SDI-to-fiber and fiber-to-SDI paths, format-agnostic data rates from 150 Mbps to 3 Gbps, and single-mode cable runs up to 10 km. HDR metadata can pass through the SDI signal path, while Ross DashBoard provides remote monitoring and configuration. A compact two-slot openGear solution keeps long-distance fiber transport inside the rack.
The AJA OG-FiDO-TR is a fiber converter available from Coremicro (coremicro.com), an authorized AJA dealer based in Union City, California. The card provides one 3G-SDI BNC input and output plus one single-mode LC fiber input and output, with supported data rates from 150 Mbps to 3 Gbps. It is compatible with AJA OG-X-FR, OG-3-FR, and DFR-8321 openGear frames. US MSRP is $913, plus applicable tariffs. AJA openGear products carry a five-year manufacturer warranty, and Coremicro ships free within the United States.
Bidirectional 3G-SDI Fiber Conversion
Convert 3G-SDI to fiber and fiber back to 3G-SDI in the same openGear card, with independent signal paths for flexible rack integration.
10 km Single-Mode LC Fiber Reach
Single-mode LC fiber supports cable runs up to 10 km, making the card suited to large facilities, remote venues, and long inter-building links.
150 Mbps to 3 Gbps Formats
Format-agnostic operation spans 150 Mbps through 3 Gbps, with automatic reclocking at supported SDI rates and pass-through for other data rates.
Independent SDI and Fiber Paths
The 3G-SDI and fiber paths operate independently, so each direction can carry a different supported data rate at the same time.
HDR Metadata Pass-Through
SDI metadata, including HDR information, passes through the converter for workflows that need to preserve downstream display and processing metadata.
Hot-Swappable openGear Integration
The card is hot-swap capable, occupies two openGear slots, and works with supported openGear frames for centralized rack-based signal transport.
Preserve HDR Metadata Over 3G-SDI Fiber
HDR metadata pass-through helps preserve signal information as video moves between 3G-SDI and fiber. This is useful in broadcast, live production, and post-production chains where downstream devices depend on intact SDI metadata.
Rack-Based openGear Fiber Conversion
openGear compatibility places long-distance SDI fiber transport into a shared professional rackframe environment. The card is specified for AJA OG-X-FR, OG-3-FR, and DFR-8321 frames and requires two slots.
Remote openGear DashBoard Control
Ross DashBoard provides network-based configuration and monitoring from Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. Operators can manage the openGear environment from a workstation instead of visiting the equipment rack for routine status checks.
Broadcast Facilities
Move 3G-SDI between machine rooms, studios, and technical spaces without relying on long copper runs.
OB Trucks & Live Events
Extend SDI feeds over venue fiber between production trucks, stage positions, control rooms, and remote camera locations.
Sports Venues
Bridge long distances between camera positions and centralized production racks across stadium or arena infrastructure.
Houses of Worship
Connect sanctuary, overflow, production, and broadcast spaces using single-mode fiber already installed throughout the facility.
Post-Production
Carry SDI between edit, finishing, monitoring, and machine-room systems while keeping conversion centralized in an openGear frame.
AJA Five-Year Warranty
AJA openGear products are covered by a five-year manufacturer warranty, subject to the conditions in the applicable product documentation. AJA technical support is available for installation, configuration, operation, and troubleshooting.

What is the AJA OG-FiDO-TR fiber transceiver used for?
The fiber transceiver converts 3G-SDI to single-mode LC fiber and fiber back to 3G-SDI inside an openGear frame. It is intended for professional video installations that need long-distance SDI transport.
How far can the 3G-SDI fiber link run?
The 3G-SDI fiber link can run up to 10 km (32,808 ft) over single-mode fiber. Actual installation performance still depends on the complete optical path and fiber infrastructure.
Does the single-mode fiber converter support HDR metadata?
The single-mode fiber converter supports pass-through of SDI metadata, including HDR. It does not perform HDR conversion; it preserves supported metadata through the signal path.
Which openGear frames support the OG-FiDO-TR?
The openGear card is compatible with AJA OG-X-FR, OG-3-FR, and DFR-8321 frames. It uses two openGear slots.
Can Ross DashBoard monitor the openGear fiber card?
Ross DashBoard can monitor and control the openGear fiber card over the network through the frame architecture. AJA specifies DashBoard support on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Is Coremicro an authorized AJA dealer for openGear products?
Coremicro is an authorized AJA dealer for professional broadcast and AV equipment. AJA openGear products include the applicable manufacturer warranty and access to AJA technical support.
