The Blackmagic Camera Fiber Converter converts standard video, audio, power and command network connections via a single, heavy-duty SMPTE hybrid power-fiber cable. It also provides controls for broadcast cameras, as well as additional connections that let you use the command network system and mixers you already own. Featuring 12G-SDI connectivity, this converter supports HD and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60.

Position the camera wherever you like

When broadcasting an event outdoors, it is often necessary to install cameras at very long distances. Without taking expensive equipment into account, this task requires special attention to avoid technical errors. The Blackmagic Fiber Camera converter now offers a reliable solution for converting all the connections you need and the power supply via a single SMPTE fiber optic cable.

Resistant and secure SMPTE fiber

The Blackmagic Fiber Camera Converter is connected by a hybrid SMPTE 311M fiber-optic cable with SMPTE 304 connectors. The cable is equipped with a bidirectional pair for fiber, a pair for data and a pair for power, and a central carrier to guarantee durability and uninterrupted use.

Turn your broadcast camera into a studio camera!

To transform your broadcast camera into a studio camera, the Blackmagic Camera Fiber Converter supports a wide range of controls and features on the rear of the camera. You get two broadcast connections for the standard 5-pin command network, 3 video return channels, 2 additional audio inputs, PTZ connections, a tracker connection, plus DC and D-tap outputs for powering accessories.

Two dual channels for the order network

Blackmagic's converter has controls for mixing the audio of the return program with the headphones of the order network, so you can adjust the volume to your liking. You can also use the backup channel during network start-up or troubleshooting if the fiber connection is down. The order network backup channel automatically switches and accesses the SMPTE cable data pair if the fiber fails. It also includes a standard 10-pin Tracker connector for the order network if you need an additional order network connection to communicate with crane operators.

Resistant materials for quality diffusion

The Blackmagic Camera Fiber Converter has a rugged, machined aluminum design to match URSA Broadcast, URSA Mini or any camera with standard battery mounts. It has been designed to meet the demands of field production and streaming needs.
