Quad-Link 4 different signals
Posted: Thu Dec 07, 2017 8:54 am
Hi
I was wondering if it is possible to use a Quad-Link to 6G-SDI-converter to link 4 different HD-SDI-signals? In theory, if all sources were genlocked to the same reference, I imagine it could work, but I wouldn't bet $1000 (the cost of the converters) on it just yet

I was planning on using it for a fiber-optical stage-box, where four cameras were converted to one SDI-link, then using one BMD SDI->Optical on each end and a new De-Multiplex in the control room, where the inputs would go to the switcher. This would mean I could get 4 lines each way on each fiber core - and save some cores for audio, intercom, reference etc.
