The OG-FiDO-T-12G-ST is a state of the art, openGear compatible 12G-SDI to Fiber converter, enabling 12G-SDI signals to be extended up to 10 km (32,808 ft) over standard single mode fiber optic cable. The 12G-SDI input is reclocked with best in class input jitter tolerance. A reclocked looping 12G-SDI output is also provided. The OG-FiDO-T-12G-ST offers a locking ST barrel connector for secure connectivity, advantageous in many live event, production, and mobile environments.

AJA openGear OG-FiDO products are designed for use in high density openGear 2RU frames, including AJA’s OG-X-FR frame, with industry standard DashBoard software support on Windows®, macOS®, and Linux®, offering remote control and monitoring over a PC or local network.

HDR Pass-Through Support
HDR or High Dynamic Range, provides the ability to display a wider and richer range of colors, much brighter whites, and much deeper, darker blacks than SDR or Standard Dynamic Range signals allow. This gives your imagery a more ‘dynamic’ look and allows for natural true to life colors to be communicated to your audience.

Example OG-FiDO-T-12G-ST Signal Flow Diagram
This diagram shows six openGear OG-FiDO-T-12G-ST cards being used in an OG-X-FR rack frame, which highlights the high density capability of the openGear platform. The studio sets each contains a total of six 12G-SDI cameras connected to six OG-FiDO-T-12G-ST cards, which provide the 12G-SDI to fiber ST conversion. Fiber runs are then extended up to 10km to an OB production truck with six OG-FiDO-R-12G-ST cards in an OG-X-FR rack frame. The Production Gallery receives six discrete camera feeds as 12G-SDI via the OG-FiDO-R-12G-ST, driving the gallery video monitors with ultra low latency.

Connectivity
The 12G-SDI input is reclocked with best in class input jitter tolerance. All 12G-SDI input and output support, which includes 6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI. Supports single mode fiber cable.

Connectivity

openGear Compatibility
The openGear standard ensures that AJA cards will be compatible with other openGear products from certified openGear partners. With a growing list of products, openGear is the standard for professional rackframe solutions.

Connectivity

Flexible I/O
The modular rear panel allows custom I/O connections per card (included with individual cards).

Failsafe
The optional redundant power supply provides a secondary power source in the event of a primary power failure.

Ethernet Access
A standard Ethernet connection allows the frame to be accessed via the Ross DashBoard software application for overall frame communication. Optional per-card Ethernet access can be installed in the frame for advanced communication with compatible openGear cards.
