Studio Technologies Model 400A-9T/3R SDI-Over-Fiber Transport System

Introduction to Studio Technologies Model 400A-9T/3R
The Studio Technologies Model 400A-9T/3R SDI-Over-Fiber Transport System is a cutting-edge, rack-mount solution tailored for the efficient transmission of digital video signals across varying distances. Designed to handle all standard broadcast serial digital video formats, this system is an essential asset for remote trucks, live-event video distribution, and permanent broadcast links.

Versatile Signal Conversion Capabilities
This model excels in both electrical-to-optical (E2O) and optical-to-electrical (O2E) conversions. With the capacity to manage 9 SD/HD/3G-SDI inputs transforming into 3 single-mode optical outputs and reverse from a single optical input to 3 SD/HD/3G-SDI outputs, it guarantees a flexible operation conducive to various broadcasting needs.

Robust Connectivity and Configuration
The Model 400A-9T/3R is equipped with 24 BNC SDI connectors for inputs, loop-throughs, and outputs, alongside 4 ST optical connectors. This comprehensive setup supports extensive connectivity options and seamless integration into existing systems. Configuration and performance monitoring are facilitated through an Ethernet port, enabling control via web pages or SNMP for real-time adjustments and feedback.

High-Performance Design
Built to support the rigors of broadcast environments, this system offers multi-channel SDI transport across four single-mode optical fibers. It supports diverse formats like 3G (SMPTE 424M), HD (SMPTE 292), and SD (SMPTE 259M), along with DVB-ASI. Its design adheres to the SMPTE 297 standard for fiber transport, ensuring reliability and industry compliance.

Dual Power and Lightweight Construction
The dual power capability allows the unit to operate on both AC mains and DC power, with the DC acting as a backup to ensure continuous operation. Additionally, its 1U enclosure is remarkably lightweight at less than 6 pounds, making it not only space-efficient but also easy to handle and install in various setups.
