Transform Your URSA into a Professional Studio Camera
Unlock the full potential of your live productions with the Blackmagic Design Camera Fiber Converter. This essential broadcast component seamlessly attaches to your URSA Broadcast or URSA Mini camera, converting it into a fully-featured studio camera with comprehensive control and power delivered over a single, industry-standard SMPTE fiber optic cable. Say goodbye to the limitations of distance, complex cable runs, and communication barriers. With the Camera Fiber Converter, you can position your camera up to 2 kilometers away from your switcher or control room, while maintaining pristine signal quality and complete operational control.
Engineered for the demanding environment of live broadcasting, this converter is more than just a signal extender. It transmits your main Ultra HD camera feed while simultaneously receiving three HD return feeds, perfect for monitoring program, teleprompter, and data. Integrated professional talkback with two dual-channel inputs allows for crystal-clear communication between the camera operator, director, and the entire production crew. The system also includes connections for standard broadcast headsets, ensuring seamless integration into your existing workflow. Power is delivered directly from the studio end via the SMPTE cable, eliminating the need for local power sources at the camera and simplifying your on-set setup. From live sporting events and concerts to studio news and worship services, the Blackmagic Camera Fiber Converter is the robust, reliable link that brings your remote cameras into the heart of the production.

Return autorization
If you would like to return any item(s), please contact us by either emailing info@dittools.eu or calling (+372) 5556 0057. We will share with you a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) code and ask that you clearly mark this code outside of your shipping box as you ship your item(s) back for a refund.
You will be liable for the shipping and any applicable customs/duty fees returning the item(s).
Incorrect items
If the return is made due to a faulty product, or an incorrectly shipped product, or if you are returning the item(s) due to a defect, or functionality issue, or because it is not the item you have ordered, we will gladly email or mail a return shipping label covering all shipping related expenses. In order to determine whether the return is initiated due to a technical problem, we may ask for you to provide visual support like images or a video on the item(s).
Shipping
Returned merchandise must be in its original packaging, and placed in a decent shipping box, e.g. the same box that we shipped the items to you in. Please make sure to clearly mark the RMA code you have received from us outside on the box.
Do not forget to cover or peel off any existing shipping labels on the box.
DIT Supplies OÜ cannot be held accountable for return shipments that have not reached us or returns made without RMA codes. We strongly advise that if you are returning the item(s) with a carrier of your choice that you use a traceable shipping method.
It may take 4-5 business days for your return to reach us. Once it is received and inspected, your refund will be processed and automatically applied to your credit card or original method of payment within 14 business days.

Customs, duties & taxes
There are no customs duties or taxes on orders shipping within the EU. Orders shipped outside of the EU may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees collected by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are collected once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
