The Digital Forecast Bridge UHD M_OTR 12G SDI to Optical Signal Transceiver is a top - notch device. It efficiently converts 12G SDI signals into optical signals, enabling long - range data transmission. It also supports bi - directional transmission via dual - core. Key features include support for standard SDI formats (SD, HD, 3G, 6G, 12G), bi - directional transmission (TX + RX), an optional optic interface with an SFP module slot, LC dual - mode with a maximum range of 10Km, and a 12V DC power supply (operational voltage range: 7 - 17V DC). Technical specs show it has compact dimensions of 80 x 59.4 x 22.5 (mm), weighs only 105g, operates on 5V - 17VDC, consumes up to 4 Watts of power, can work in humidity from 0 to 95% RH (non - condensing), has a 12G data rate, a signal level of 800mVp - p +/- 50m, and supports various digital video standards like SMPTE - 296M (720P), SMPTE - 274M and SMPTE - 292M (1080i), SMPTE - 424M (1080p 3G), SMPTE - ST2081 (2160p 6G), and SMPTE - ST2082 (2160p 12G).



Using this transceiver is quite simple. First, connect the 12G SDI input to your source device. Then, insert an appropriate SFP module into the optic interface slot. Plug in the 12V DC power supply, making sure the voltage is within the 7 - 17V DC range. You're all set for long - range data transmission. As for precautions, avoid using it in high - humidity or extremely dusty environments. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean and free of debris. If you notice any abnormal heat or performance issues, turn it off immediately and check the power supply and connections.
