Product Description
The Science Image Flow 4K is an all - in - one device that serves as a top - notch solution for broadcast - quality video. It combines frequency conversion and optical end - machine functions in a compact design. With built - in 12G - SDI and HDMI 4K60 optical modules, it enables bidirectional optical connectivity on - site. This device offers up/down/cross conversion, UHD optical transceiver functionality, and features an OLED display for real - time status information. It supports at least 35 SMPTE standard formats and can accept user - defined special formats. The built - in 12G - SDI and HDMI 4K60 optical transceiver allows for two - way operation with a one - key switch, and can transmit signals up to 20KM. The OLED display makes it easy to monitor the device's important operating status. It can be flexibly deployed at the front - end or display/control terminal, acting as an SDI/HDMI bidirectional converter while the optical transceiver is working, which reduces system cost. It supports 12G - SDI/HDMI 2.0 and SMPTE/ITU broadcast - level international standards, and is compatible with various video sources and formats from different manufacturers worldwide, as well as different software platforms and peripheral applications. Key features include seamless combination of signal conversion and optical end - machine functions, bidirectional use in the field, long - distance signal transmission, cost - effectiveness, support for multiple formats, and real - time status display. Technical specifications cover a wide range of video formats, sampling rates, and interfaces. It has a size of 125mm x 115mm x 24mm, weighs 360g, is made of all aviation aluminum milling, and has two power supply modes (5 - 18V DC and POE) with a power consumption of 10W. It operates in a temperature range of 5°C to 40°C and can be stored at - 20°C to 60°C. The packing list includes the FLOW 4K, a quick - start manual, and a 12V universal power supply with four sets of international conversion plugs.
Using the Science Image Flow 4K is straightforward. First, connect your video sources to the appropriate SDI or HDMI inputs. You can choose between 1.5G/3G/6G/12G - SDI for SDI input or the HDMI 2.0 Type A interface for HDMI input. Then, connect the output to your display or other devices according to your needs. The device will automatically adapt to the input format. For optical connectivity, use the SMPTE optical fiber SFP socket to connect the appropriate optical fiber module. You can switch between sending and receiving functions with just one key on the device. The OLED display will show you important information like the input/output format and the device's operating status. When it comes to power, you have two options: a 5 - 18V DC power input or POE. Make sure to choose the power source that suits your setup. As for maintenance, keep the device in a clean and dry environment. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures. If you need to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth. Don't use any harsh chemicals. Store the device in a place where the temperature is between - 20°C and 60°C. And always refer to the quick - start manual if you run into any problems.
