AJA openGear 1-Channel 12G-SDI to Single Mode ST Fiber Transmitter

AJA openGear 1-Channel 12G-SDI to Single Mode ST Fiber Transmitter is the kind of unit that makes sense when you need to move an SDI signal onto fiber cleanly while still keeping a local SDI handoff available. Based on the image source, it accepts 1-channel 12G-SDI over BNC, supports 270 Mbps to 12 Gbps in a format-agnostic design, and provides both a reclocked 12G-SDI loop output and a single-mode fiber output.

Highlights

• Format support from 270 Mbps to 12 Gbps across mixed SDI workflows
• 12G-SDI BNC input for direct coax handoff into fiber transport
• Reclocked 12G-SDI loop output for local monitoring or routing
• Single-mode fiber output for longer-distance signal extension
• Compact low-power design with an included universal power supply

Why It Helps

This unit helps when a single SDI path needs to move onto fiber without giving up a local coax output in the rack. It gives you a cleaner transport path, reclocks the most common SDI rates, and keeps the signal chain simple for routing, monitoring, or longer-distance infrastructure runs.

System Characteristics

• Format-agnostic operation makes the unit more flexible across mixed-format facilities.
• Reclocked loop out is useful for local distribution and confidence monitoring
• Single-mode fiber transmission supports cleaner long-distance signal extension.
• Compact physical design keeps the install simple on benches, in flypacks, or in permanent racks.
• Low power draw makes it easier to integrate into existing infrastructure
