914-HDV Media Converter

High Definition Video Media Converter 914-HDV Media Converter

The Model 914-HDV Media Converter is an electro-optical device for transmitting High Definition Video over singlemode (9/125 um) fiber, packaged into our 914 (credit card sized) form-factor, resulting in our smallest solution for HD-SDI (SMPTE-292 M) to fiber conversion. The 914-HDV media converter may be used as a standalone card or optically integrated into a 914 system stack via CWDM modules. Optical power budgets are typically 20 - 26 dB over 10 km of singlemode fiber. Diagnostics are provided by on-board LEDs for optical and video link status.

Features

  • Video input includes cable equalizer
  • Upgrade available for 1080 p (SMPTE-424) “Full HD” compatibility
  • Wavelength selectable/interchangeable SFP transceivers
  • Rugged design for marine environment, including 6000 psi pressure tolerant version

Benefits

  • Simplified interfaces for minimal configuration
  • Extremely small size allows installation in less than 2 inch diameter enclosures
  • 4 HP adapter available for euro-rack upgrades/retro fits
  • Supports a wide range of optical options, including CWDM wavelengths for combining multiple cards on a single optical fiber
