The Blackmagic Design Studio Converter 2 inputs SDI video
signals transmitted over optical fiber and converts the signals to SDI
for use with video switchers. When used in conjunction with the
Blackmagic Design ATEM Camera Converter, you can send video signals up
to 28 miles between camera and switcher using available optical fiber
cables. By comparison sending an HD-SDI signal over traditional copper
cable is usually limited to about 300 feet, depending on the quality of
the cable.
A typical set up using the Studio Converter 2 is to connect it between
the switcher and up to four ATEM Camera Converter units. This set up
allows the Converter 2 to receive the signals from the fiber cable,
convert the signals to SDI using 10-bit processing, and send the signals
to the switcher. The Converter 2 supports SD/HD signals, and when using
the available ATEM Camera Converter you can use any camera with an
SDI/HDMI output.
The converter 2 can also be used as 4 independent simultaneous
bi-directional SD/HD-SDI to optical converters. The converter 2 features
a built-in mic input, speaker and headphone jack that provides talkback
audio for communicating with camera operators. The Converter 2 passes
tally signals embedded in the SDI program stream. You can cascade
multiple ATEM Studio Converter 2 units together when using more than 4
cameras. The Studio Converter 2 features a 1RU design with built in rack
mount ears for easy integration into existing studio configurations or
production cases.
