AJA FiDO 12G-SDI / Single-Mode ST Fiber Mini-Converters
Bridge the distance gap in your high-bandwidth workflow with the AJA FiDO family of 12G-SDI to Single-Mode Fiber Mini-Converters. Designed for the rigor of broadcast, production, and pro-AV environments, these rugged converters provide a simple and reliable solution for sending pristine 4K/UltraHD video signals over massive distances. By leveraging standard single-mode fiber optic cable, the FiDO 12G-ST models can transport your 12G-SDI, 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI, or HD/SD-SDI signals up to 10 kilometers (approximately 6.2 miles) without a single drop in quality. This makes them the perfect choice for connecting cameras in remote locations, linking equipment between different facilities, or overcoming the inherent distance limitations of traditional copper BNC cables.
The FiDO series is built for seamless integration and unwavering performance. Each converter features a robust ST fiber connection, a locking standard in the industry, ensuring your signal path remains secure even in high-traffic areas or on mobile production trucks. The incredibly compact, low-profile enclosure allows for versatile mounting options—tuck it behind a rack, mount it directly to a camera rig, or place it in any tight space where a larger converter simply won't fit. Whether you need to transmit a signal with the FiDO-T-12G-ST or receive one with the FiDO-R-12G-ST, you get the same world-class AJA engineering. The transmitter includes a reclocked SDI looping output for local monitoring or daisy-chaining, while the receiver provides dual, matching SDI outputs for distribution to multiple destinations. Backed by a comprehensive five-year warranty and including a universal power supply, the AJA FiDO converters are the professional's choice for dependable long-haul fiber transport.
