Theatrixx Technologies xVision Reversible Module (Dual Channel 3G-SDI to Fiber, Singlemode, OpticalCON Duo)

$1,599.00

The Dual SDI to Dual Fiber Reversible Module fits in the Theatrixx 8-bay Frame. The module can be inserted in the 8-Bay Frame in either direction, allowing the inputs/outputs to be positioned either at the front or the back of the unit depending on the application. There are no exposed PCBs as all modules are enclosed, and therefore protected againststatic shock, dust and general wear and tear. Gold-plated, redundant spring pins with magnetic retention deliver DC power to the modules, meaning no messy cabling and external power bricks are needed.

About the Theatrixx Technologies xVision Reversible Module (Dual Channel 3G-SDI to Fiber, Singlemode, OpticalCON Duo)

The Theatrixx Technologies xVision Reversible Module (Dual Channel 3G-SDI to Fiber, Singlemode, OpticalCON DUO) is a professional broadcast-grade signal conversion solution engineered exclusively for the Theatrixx XVVRF8 8-Bay Reversible Rackmount Frame. This module accepts two channels of 3G-SDI input via industry-standard BNC connectors, converting each incoming SDI signal to optical output for extreme long-distance transmission over single-mode fiber infrastructure. Each input channel includes a dedicated loop-through BNC output, enabling daisy-chaining to additional equipment without signal degradation or the need for external distribution amplifiers. The module delivers two independent single-mode fiber outputs on rugged Neutrik OpticalCON DUO connectors, making it ideal for large-scale broadcast facilities, stadium installations, campus-wide video distribution, houses of worship, and live event venues requiring reliable signal transport over distances measured in kilometers.

The conversion path fully supports 3G-SDI (SMPTE 424M Levels A and B), HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M), and SD-SDI (SMPTE 259M) standards with embedded audio passthrough, ensuring seamless compatibility with existing professional video infrastructure from standard definition through high definition. Designed for demanding touring and mission-critical permanent installations, the module features a fully enclosed, self-contained chassis with no exposed PCBs, protecting sensitive electronics against electrostatic discharge, dust ingress, physical impact, and general wear. The reversible architecture allows technicians to insert the module in either direction within the 3RU XVVRF8 frame, positioning BNC inputs and loop-throughs at the front or rear of the rack to accommodate facility cabling layouts without requiring custom cables.

All power is delivered via gold-plated redundant spring pins with magnetic retention, eliminating messy internal power cabling and power strips while ensuring the module remains securely powered and seated even during transportation or vibration-heavy operation. The module draws 20W of 12 V DC power directly from the XVVRF8 frame's dual redundant power supplies, with hot-swappable backup ensuring uninterrupted conversion during power supply failure. Single-mode operation provides significantly longer transmission distances compared to multimode fiber, making this module the preferred choice for large venues, remote production facilities, and any application requiring fiber runs exceeding 300 meters. Theatrixx Technologies designs and assembles these modules in Canada, prioritizing rugged construction, signal integrity, and reliable long-distance operation for professional AV applications.
