AJA FiDO 12G-SDI / Fiber Mini-Converters
Bridge the gap between SDI and fiber with the unparalleled performance of the AJA FiDO family of 12G-SDI/Fiber Mini-Converters. Designed for the rigorous demands of modern production, these converters enable the flawless transport of high-bandwidth video, including 4K and UltraHD at a full 60p, over incredible distances. By leveraging standard Single-Mode fiber optic cable with LC connectors, you can extend your 12G-SDI signals up to 10 kilometers (approximately 6.2 miles) without any loss of quality or signal integrity. This makes the FiDO series an essential tool for broadcast facilities, live event production, post-production suites, and on-set workflows where source and destination are far apart.
The strength of the FiDO family lies in its flexibility and reliability. Whether you need to send, receive, or do both simultaneously, there's a model tailored to your specific application. Choose from single-channel and dual-channel transmitters (T) that convert SDI to fiber, receivers (R) that convert fiber back to SDI, or a versatile transceiver (TR) model for bidirectional signal flow over a single fiber link. This versatility ensures you can build a robust and efficient signal path for any scenario. Each converter supports a wide range of video formats, from SD and HD all the way up to 12G-SDI, providing backward compatibility and future-proofing your investment.
Built for the real world of production, every FiDO converter features a compact, low-profile, and rugged metal enclosure. This design is perfect for installation in tight spaces, such as behind equipment racks, inside OB vans, or mounted directly on a camera rig. Despite their small size, they are built to last and are backed by AJA's industry-leading five-year warranty. A universal 5-20VDC power supply is included with every unit, ensuring you have everything you need to get up and running right out of the box. Select the precise FiDO model below to meet your 12G-SDI conversion needs.
