Studio Unit Connections
The rear panel of the Blackmagic Studio Fiber Converter provide SDI return feed and reference
BNC connectors, intercom and tally DB-25 connector, PTZ 9 pin serial port, audio outputs, and
Ethernet. The optical fiber slot lets you plug in an optional optical fiber SFP module for future
options and features to be released at a later date.
All SDI inputs support 12G-SDI for video formats up to Ultra HD 2160p60.
12G-SDI Output
The two 12G-SDI outputs are for connecting the camera signal from the studio unit to any of
your switcher’s camera SDI inputs. The second connector can be used to output the same
signal to other video equipment, for example a Blackmagic Videohub router, SmartView monitor
or a HyperDeck Disk Recorder.
The 12G-SDI outputs allow for signals
from 720p50 up to 2160p60
Return SDI Inputs
The 12G-SDI return feed BNC connectors give you the option to plug in up to three return
SDI feeds. For example, the program feed from a switcher is normally connected to return 1, and
other sources like a second camera output, HyperDeck playback, or even a teleprompter can
be connected to return feeds 2 and 3. If you are using an ATEM switcher, the program return
connected to return 1 will also include tally, talkback, reference and camera control signals.
