About the Theatrixx Technologies Fiber to 3G SDI Reversible Module
The Theatrixx Technologies Fiber to 3G SDI Reversible Module (XVVRM-FIBER2SDI) is a professional broadcast-grade signal conversion solution engineered exclusively for the Theatrixx XVVRF8 8-Bay Reversible Rackmount Frame. This module accepts a single optical SDI input and converts it to two reclocked, amplified 3G-SDI outputs on industry-standard BNC connectors. Fiber options include single-mode or multimode configurations with a choice of ST, OpticalCON DUO, or OpticalCON QUAD connectors, accommodating diverse facility infrastructure requirements. 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, making it ideal for broadcast studios, live event production, rental houses, and permanent AV installations requiring reliable long-distance signal distribution.
Designed for demanding touring and mission-critical environments, 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 optical inputs and SDI BNC outputs 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, ensuring reliable conversion without external power bricks. Theatrixx Technologies designs and assembles these modules in Canada, prioritizing rugged construction, signal integrity, and professional-grade performance.
