About the Theatrixx Technologies HDMI 2.0 + 1 Gb/s Ethernet to Fiber SDVoE Reversible Module (Multimode, OpticalCON Dual)
The Theatrixx Technologies HDMI 2.0 + 1 Gb/s Ethernet to Fiber SDVoE Reversible Module (Multimode, OpticalCON Dual) is a professional SDVoE (Software-Defined Video-over-Ethernet) transmitter module engineered exclusively for the Theatrixx XVVRF8 8-Bay Reversible Rackmount Frame. This module accepts an HDMI 2.0 input via a locking Type A connector and encodes the signal for transmission over 10 Gbps multimode optical fiber, outputting via a rugged Neutrik OpticalCON DUO connector. The integrated Semtech BlueRiver NT1000 chipset delivers zero-frame latency of less than 0.1 milliseconds with visually lossless performance, supporting all HDMI 2.0 formats including 4K at 60 frames per second with 8‑bit 4:4:4 or 10‑bit 4:2:2 chroma subsampling, as well as HDR10 and Dolby Vision High Dynamic Range. Up to eight channels of 24‑bit, 192 kHz embedded audio pass through transparently, while an auxiliary 1 Gbps Ethernet port on a locking Neutrik EtherCON provides network pass-through for control signals and device management over the same fiber link.
Engineered for demanding broadcast, live event, rental, touring, and permanent installation environments, the module features a fully enclosed 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 the locking HDMI input, EtherCON port, and OpticalCON DUO fiber output 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 external power bricks 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 operation during power supply failure. Theatrixx Technologies designs and assembles these modules in Canada, prioritizing rugged construction, signal integrity, and professional-grade AV over IP conversion for 4K UHD applications.
