The GefenPRO 3GSDI Fiber Optic Extender
The GefenPRO 3GSDI Fiber Optic Extender is a miniature digital video data
transport system over fi ber optic cable supporting 1080p for 3G-SDI and HD-
SDI. It converts a one-channel SMPTE-424M 3G-SDI, SMPTE-292M HD, or
SMPTE-259M serial digital video signal over extended distances up to 19 miles
(30 kilometers).
How It Works
The Sender receives the SDI input signal and converts the SMPTE-424M / 292M
/ 259M SDI signals to optical data. The Receiver unit collects the optical data
from the fi ber cable and converts it to an SDI signal.
