About the Theatrixx Technologies xVision Reversible Module (Fiber to 3G-SDI, Multimode, ST)
The Theatrixx Technologies xVision Reversible Module (Fiber to 3G-SDI, Multimode, ST) is a professional broadcast-grade signal conversion solution engineered exclusively for the Theatrixx XVVRF8 8-Bay Reversible Rackmount Frame. This module accepts one multimode optical SDI input via a standard ST fiber connector and converts the incoming signal to two reclocked, amplified 3G-SDI outputs on industry-standard BNC connectors. Multimode fiber operation provides cost-effective signal transmission over medium distances, making this module ideal for live event production, rental houses, corporate AV, houses of worship, and broadcast studios where fiber runs are typically under 200-300 meters. 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.
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 the ST fiber input and dual 3G-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 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 conversion during power supply failure. Theatrixx Technologies designs and assembles these modules in Canada , prioritizing rugged construction, signal integrity, and reliable professional-grade performance for mission-critical AV applications.
