Studio Technologies M400-12T 400 SDI-Over-Fiber Transmitter

M400-12T - Overview

• Features:

  • Multi-channel electrical-to-optical (E2O) and optical-to-electrical (O2E) SDI transport
  • Twelve format-independent SDI data paths over four single-mode optical fibers
  • Supports 3G (SMPTE 424M), HD (SMPTE 292), and SD (SMPTE 259M) SDI, as well as DVB-ASI
  • Fiber transport based on the SMPTE 297 standard
  • Dual power capability: AC mains or DC; when both sources are present system is AC mains powered and DC supply acts as a backup
  • Ethernet port provides system configuration and performance monitoring using web pages or SNMP
  • Front-panel features include status display, navigation buttons, power switch, and LED indicators
  • "1U" enclosure weighs less than 6 pounds (2.7 kg)
  • Twelve SDI inputs, each with re-clocked loop-through output
  • Four single-mode optical outputs, each transmitting three SDI signals using WDM/CWDM multiplexing
  • Configurable laser on/off output control
