Product Overview
The CSI-3112 is a member of the SDI Beamer Series from Communications Specialties. It is used to transmit broadcast quality 3G/HD/SD-SDI with or without embedded audio and data over a single fiber optic core. The Fiberlink SDI Beamer Series is compatible with single mode or multimode fiber. The SDI Beamer is also compliant with SMPTE 297-2006 for seamless interoperability with other SMPTE 297-2006 devices. The system delivers noisefree transmission that retains all of the signals’ initial parameters, regardless of fiber optic cable attenuation.
The SDI Beamer Series also provides immunity to video pathological signals over the entire link budget and operating temperature range. It’s small footprint and internal battery power makes it ideal for in-the-field broadcasting. Perfect for Broadcast or corporate studios, Broadcasting in the field, OB Vans, Rental & Staging, auditoriums, stadiums and theaters, airport or transportation hubs, distance learning, and more!
