AJA FiDO-T-ST 3G-SDI to Fiber Optic Transmitter with LC Connector

The AJA FiDO-T-ST is a compact, stand-alone 3G-SDI to fiber optic transmitter designed for reliable long-distance signal transmission. It converts SDI video signals to single-mode fiber, supporting data rates from 270 Mb/s to 3 Gb/s. With a robust metal enclosure and included power supply, this unit is ideal for broadcast, production, and AV installations where signal integrity over distance is critical.

Advantages

Supports a wide range of SDI formats including 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI, ensuring compatibility with existing equipment. The single-mode LC fiber output enables transmission up to 10 km (6.2 miles) without signal degradation. Reclocking ensures clean signal regeneration, while the compact form factor allows for easy mounting in tight spaces.
