Fiber Optic converter
Posted: Wed Dec 06, 2017 10:49 pm
In looking around on the Blackmagic Design site under products, I no long find the more expensive Fiber Optic converter, the one that had analog audto inputs. I don't remember the model number. The reason I was looking for it is that if I'm going to use a 200 meter fiber from my field camera to my switcher, I need some easy way to communicate with my camera man. I currently use a clearcom setup with all of my other cameras and stats person. I was hoping I could figure out a way to use the convertor so that I might not have to run 200 meters of audio cable. I have a complete set of Blackmagic mini converters for all four of my cameras but embedded audio isn't what I'm needing. Any thoughts?
If the other converter won't work for intercom maybe Black Magic Design should consider making a converter that will step HD-SDI or 4K to fiber and back but add the ability to insert intercom and live audio from camera and intercom return to camera from director on one single mode duplex fiber?
