Studio Technologies Model 400A-12R SDI-Over-Fiber Transport System

High-Performance Video Transmission
The Studio Technologies Model 400 SDI-Over-Fiber Transport System is an exceptional rack-mount solution designed to distribute digital video signals across short and medium distances. This system is adept at handling all standard broadcast serial digital video formats, making it an indispensable tool for remote broadcast trucks, live-event video production, and fixed broadcast links within production facilities. With its robust design and advanced technological capabilities, the Model 400 ensures high-quality signal integrity and reliable performance.

Versatile Connectivity and Application
Equipped to manage complex video distribution tasks, the Model 400-12R version, identified by the order code M400-12R, excels in optical-to-electrical (O2E) conversion. It takes 4 single-mode optical inputs and provides 12 SD/HD/3G-SDI outputs, making it a versatile choice for a variety of professional settings that require high-definition video feeds such as sports arenas, news operations, and television studios.

Efficient Design and Easy Integration
This single rack-space unit offers a streamlined installation process, occupying minimal space while delivering maximum functionality. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing setups with ST optical input connectors and BNC SDI output connectors, supporting extensive connectivity. The Model 400 is powered by a standard 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz supply, or can operate on 10-18 Vdc, offering flexibility in power sources.

Advanced Output Capabilities
Key to the Model 400’s utility is its ability to de-multiplex Wideband Division Multiplexing (WDM) and Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) optical signals into 12 re-clocked SDI signals. Each of the 12 SDI output channels is equipped with two independently buffered outputs, ensuring that multiple devices can be connected without signal degradation or interference, providing redundancy and reliability in critical broadcasting scenarios.

Monitoring and Configuration
The system also includes capabilities for monitoring optical receive levels, which is crucial for maintaining the quality and consistency of the video signals over varying distances and conditions. Configuration and monitoring of the system are facilitated through the STcontroller software application, allowing for precise control and adjustments to optimize performance based on specific operational requirements.
