HD-SDI, 3G-SDI & 12G-SDI Extenders
Extron offers a variety of products for extending 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, and HD-SDI signals long distances. These extenders support data rates up to 11.88 Gbps, and can pass embedded audio and other ancillary data allowed by SMPTE and ITU specifications. All models feature input equalization to improve signal transmission distances and automatic output reclocking to ensure signal integrity, and select models also provide immunity to SDI and HD-SDI pathological signal patterns. Cable equalizers are a convenient, economical solution to extend 12G-SDI signals up to 230 feet (70 meters), 3G-SDI signals up to 590 feet (180 meters), and HD-SDI signals up to 400 feet (120 meters) on RG6 coaxial cable. Fiber optic transceivers extend 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SDI signals extreme distances up to 30 km (18.75 miles) over fiber optic cabling. Signals can be simultaneously transmitted and received between units, making these extenders well suited for use within buildings and across large facilities, such as airports, stadiums, and university campuses.
