Theatrixx Technologies xVision Reversible Module (Fiber to 3G-SDI, Singlemode, ST)

The Theatrixx Technologies xVision Reversible Module (Fiber to 3G-SDI, Singlemode, ST) is a professional broadcast-grade signal conversion solution engineered exclusively for the Theatrixx XVVRF8 8-Bay Reversible Rackmount Frame. This module accepts one single-mode 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. Single-mode fiber operation enables significantly longer transmission distances compared to multimode fiber, making this module ideal for large-scale broadcast facilities, stadium installations, campus-wide signal distribution, houses of worship, and live event venues requiring reliable signal transport over distances exceeding several kilometers or across large venues. 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 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. Single-mode ST fiber connectivity provides a widely deployed, cost-effective infrastructure standard for long-haul signal transport, making this module a reliable choice for any installation requiring extended fiber runs across large facilities or between buildings. Theatrixx Technologies designs and assembles these modules in Canada, prioritizing rugged construction, signal integrity, and reliable professional-grade performance for mission-critical AV applications.
