FieldCast FC-CO100 Mux/Demux One 3G Compact Limited Ed 4-Channel SDI Video Over Fiber Multiplexer - LC Singlemode Port

FC-CO100 - Overview

• Features:

  • Transport Over Long Distance: The mux/demux pair can transport video over distances of up to 24mi (40km) for 3G-SDI. The mux is typically placed at the camera side, and the demux at the control room side.
  • Four Independent Video Channels with Loop-Through and Dual Output: The set supports 4 independent SDI video channels. The SDI inputs have a reclocked loop-through. The SDI outputs are dual. Hence, monitoring on both sides (input and output) is possible. The SDI input is typically connected to the camera's SDI output. The SDI output is generally connected to the SDI input of a monitor or switcher.
  • Transport Over One Fiber Optic Core: All information for up to 4 SDI video channels, back and forth, runs over a single fiber optic core. This means a simplex fiber-optic cable is sufficient to bridge the distance between mux and demux, saving on fiber-optic cable costs. Alternatively, if you have a fiber optic cable with 2 cores, you have 1 core (or channel) left for other fiber optic transport. You might, for example, use the free fiber optic core to connect to a second, similar Mux/Demux pair to add redundancy to your setup.
  • No Compression: There is no signal processing involved, so there is no compression; full data integrity is guaranteed.
  • Unidirectional Video by Default: The standard model is unidirectional, meaning that 4 SDI signals go from mux to demux; it's denoted as 4I/O, where `I' stands for Input and `O' stands for Output.
  • Bidirectional Video on Request Upon request, the direction of the SDI signals can be changed to bidirectional. Customization is done at the factory level and built as requested. Custom bidirectional models can be configured in any way, for instance, 2 channels mux to demux and 2 channels demux to mux (2I/2O), or 1 channel mux to demux and 3 channels demux to mux (1I/3O, which is technically the same as 3I/1O).
  • LC Fiber by Default: By default, the mux/demux set is supplied with an LC singlemode fiber optic port. On request, other fiber ports, such as SC or ST connectors, can be built in.
