Broadcast Strength and Enhanced Safety

Blackmagic fiber converters work with standard SMPTE 311M hybrid electrical and fiber optic cables with SMPTE 304M connectors on each end. These cables feature a 2-way fiber pair, data pair, power pair, and central strength member for the durability needed for continuous use. Once plugged in, the Blackmagic Studio Fiber Converter automatically performs safety checks and then powers on, sending an industry-standard 200 volts down the cable to the camera. Both the studio and camera converters constantly monitor if the cable operates within safe parameters to ensure maximum safety. If a damaged cable is detected, the power is instantly shut down to eliminate danger.

Adds Extra Studio Camera Controls

Studio cameras are typically operated from the rear of the camera, but broadcast cameras usually have controls on the side of the camera! To solve this problem, the Blackmagic Camera Fiber Converter also adds a wide range of controls and features to the rear of the camera, transforming it into a professional studio camera. You get two broadcast standard 5-pin talkback connections, three return video feeds, two extra audio inputs, PTZ and trackers connections, and additional DC and D-tap outputs for powering accessories. With all these extra controls added to the rear of URSA Broadcast G2, you can now operate the strictly precisely traditional studio camera!
