Description
HZT Technology 16-Slot Centralized Fiber Management Chassis is the ultimate solution for high-density, reliable fiber optic transmission of 3G-SDI signals. This chassis is engineered to streamline your broadcast, pro-AV, or security infrastructure by centralizing the management of up to sixteen individual 1-channel 3G-SDI to Fiber Converter cards in a single, robust 2RU rack unit.
Gone are the messy cables and power bricks of standalone converters. This system provides a unified, professional platform with redundant power supplies, ensuring maximum uptime and signal integrity for mission-critical operations. Each slot in the chassis operates independently, housing a single converter card that transmits one full 3G-SDI signal over a dedicated LC fiber pair. This modular design offers unparalleled scalability and ease of maintenance.
Core Concept:
● Transmitter End: You can deploy a 16-slot chassis at your video source location (e.g., a broadcast truck or central control room), aggregating 16 different 3G-SDI feeds.
● Receiver End: At the destination, you can use another 16-slot chassis to receive all 16 signals, or use compact desktop receivers for individual feeds, providing ultimate deployment flexibility.
Key Features & Benefits
● High-Density, Centralized Management
Consolidate 16 discrete fiber links into one easy-to-manage system. This drastically reduces rack space, cabling complexity, and power consumption compared to using 16 separate standalone units.
● Hot-Swappable Converter Cards
Each slot accepts a plug-and-play 1-CH 3G-SDI to Fiber card. Failed units can be replaced in seconds without powering down the entire chassis, minimizing system downtime and simplifying maintenance.
● Dedicated Fiber per Channel
Every converter card requires a single LC fiber strand to transmit one bi-directional 3G-SDI signal. This ensures complete signal isolation, prevents crosstalk, and guarantees the highest possible video quality for each channel.
● Unmatched Deployment Flexibility
Mix and match transmitter and receiver configurations to fit your project‘s needs. Use a centralized 16-slot chassis at both ends, or combine a chassis with multiple desktop units for distributed receiving points.
● Robust & Reliable Design
Built with industrial-grade components, the chassis features a dual redundant, hot-swappable power supply system. It operates silently and reliably across a wide temperature range, built for 24/7 operation in demanding environments.
● True Signal Integrity
Supports full 3G-SDI (SMPTE 424M), HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M), and SD-SDI (SMPTE 259M) standards. The fiber transmission provides immunity to EMI/RFI, eliminates ground loops, and enables lossless video transmission over distances up to 10km (or more with single-mode fiber).
Application Scenarios
This chassis is perfect for any scenario requiring the aggregation and long-distance transport of multiple 3G-SDI feeds.
● Broadcast & Live Production: Ideal for outside broadcast (OB) trucks, sports venues, and studios to send multiple camera feeds, graphics, and program outputs back to the central production facility over fiber.
● Large-Scale Events & Worship Centers: Distribute multiple HD video feeds from the stage to control rooms, overflow areas, and recording suites reliably and without interference.
● Security & Surveillance Command Centers: Aggregate video streams from 16 different high-resolution cameras (e.g., PTZ cameras with 3G-SDI output) located across a large campus, airport, or city and bring them back to a centralized monitoring room.
● Professional AV & Corporate Environments: Transport signals from multiple presentation sources or media players to displays and projectors in different rooms or buildings.
● Education & Government: Reliably distribute video for distance learning, council meetings, or command and control applications.
