Frequently Asked Questions - SDI-FIB Apantac
What is the SDI-FIB extender used for?
The Apantac SDI-FIB is an AV extender that transmits SDI video signals over fiber optic cables. It is commonly used in broadcast, live events, and professional video applications where long-distance signal transmission is required without degradation.
What types of SDI signals does it support?
It supports SD-SDI (270 Mbps), HD-SDI (1.485 Gbps), and 3G-SDI (2.97 Gbps) formats, covering a wide range of standard and high-definition video resolutions.
What is the maximum distance for signal transmission?
Over single-mode fiber, the maximum distance is up to 10 km (6.2 miles). With multimode fiber, the range is typically up to 500 meters (1640 feet).
What kind of fiber optic cable is required?
The extender uses LC duplex connectors. For maximum range, use single-mode fiber (9/125 µm). For shorter distances, multimode fiber (50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm) also works.
Does it require external power?
Yes, both the transmitter and receiver need external power. Each unit comes with a 5V DC 1A power adapter. Ensure the adapters are plugged into a stable power source.
How do I connect the extender?
Connect your SDI source to the transmitter's BNC input. Connect the transmitter to the receiver via fiber optic cable using LC connectors. Then connect the receiver's BNC output to your display. Power both units on.
My device shows no signal. What should I check?
First, verify all BNC connections are secure. Check that the fiber cable is not damaged and connectors are clean. Ensure both power adapters are working. If using multimode fiber for long distances, try single-mode. Also check that your source and display are powered on.
Is it compatible with 12G-SDI?
No, the SDI-FIB supports up to 3G-SDI (2.97 Gbps). It is not compatible with 12G-SDI (11.88 Gbps). For 12G-SDI, consider a different model.
Can I use it with multimode fiber?
Yes, it works with multimode fiber (50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm) for distances up to 500 meters. However, for longer distances, single-mode fiber is recommended.
How do I clean the fiber connectors?
Use a fiber optic cleaning kit with lint-free wipes and isopropyl alcohol. Gently clean the LC connector ends and the BNC connectors. Avoid touching the end faces to prevent contamination.
