About the Theatrixx Technologies 12G-SDI to Fiber xVision Converter with PowerCON In/Edison Loop-Thru (Multimode, ST)
The Theatrixx Technologies 12G-SDI to Fiber xVision Converter with PowerCON In/Edison Loop-Thru (Multimode, ST) is a professional broadcast-grade device that converts 12G-SDI video signals to optical fiber for long-distance transmission in live events, broadcast studios, rental houses, and permanent AV installations. This compact, plug-and-play converter accepts a 12G-SDI input on BNC and transmits the signal over multimode fiber via a standard ST connector, supporting video formats up to DCI 4K60 with embedded audio passthrough. The reclocked and amplified SDI loop-through BNC allows daisy-chaining to additional local equipment without signal degradation, eliminating the need for external distribution amplifiers. The SFP-based optical transmission design ensures interoperability with standard SDI-over-fiber devices from other manufacturers.
Engineered specifically for touring and mission-critical environments, the xVision series features an integrated power supply with a locking Neutrik powerCON input connector and a built-in NEMA 5-15 Edison AC courtesy outlet capable of delivering up to 10 amps to power a nearby projector, television, laptop, or other device directly from the converter. The magnetic stacking system with non-skid rubber pads allows multiple converters to be stacked securely on tabletops without tape, saving time and material in rental and live event settings. Multiple mounting options including C-clamp, wall-mount adapter, LCD mount adapter, and belt adapter provide installation flexibility for any deployment scenario.
The conversion path supports 12G-SDI (SMPTE ST 2082-1 and 2082-10), 6G-SDI (SMPTE ST 2081-1), 3G-SDI (SMPTE 424M Levels A and B), HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M), and SD-SDI (SMPTE 259M) standards with embedded audio passthrough. Clear status LED indicators provide real-time feedback for power, signal lock, and fiber link status. The enclosure is built with a rugged metal chassis designed to withstand the rigors of the road, with connectors mechanically secured to the frame rather than relying solely on PCB mounting. Theatrixx Technologies designs and assembles these converters in Canada, prioritizing reliability for professional AV applications.
