Mini 12G-SDI to Fiber Optical Converter with SDI Loop-Out (LC, 1-Channel, 4K)
The AN-12G-SDI-1V-MINI is a compact 1-channel 12G-SDI to fiber optical converter designed for professional broadcast, AV, and production workflows. It supports 12G / 6G / 3G / HD / SD-SDI signals over single-mode or multimode LC fiber, with an integrated SDI loop-out for local monitoring.
Demonstration of the Mini 12G-SDI to Fiber Optical Converter showing SDI input, fiber transmission, and the SDI loop-out port for local monitoring.
This application example shows the Mini 12G-SDI to Fiber Optical Converter used to extend
an SDI video signal over long-distance fiber while maintaining local monitoring via the
SDI loop-out port.
An SDI camera or video source connects to the converter via coaxial cable, and the signal
is transmitted over single-mode or multimode fiber to a remote location.
At the same time, the SDI loop-out allows connection to a local monitor or video switcher
without interrupting the fiber link.
This setup is ideal for live production, broadcast studios, OB vans, surveillance systems,
and any application requiring reliable long-distance SDI transport with on-site signal verification.
