Studio Technologies Model 400A-3T/3R SDI-Over-Fiber Transport System

Optimal SDI Signal Distribution
The Studio Technologies Model 400 SDI-Over-Fiber Transport System exemplifies a premier solution for distributing digital video signals efficiently across both short and medium distances. This rack-mount system is compatible with all major broadcast serial digital video formats, making it ideal for integration into remote trucks, live-event video production, and permanent broadcast setups. The M400A-3T/3R unit, in particular, offers a streamlined approach to signal conversion and distribution, ensuring high-quality video transmission without compromise.

Advanced Conversion Capabilities
At the heart of the M400A-3T/3R are its dual conversion functions. This unit is adept at handling both electrical-to-optical (E2O) and optical-to-electrical (O2E) conversions. It can seamlessly convert three SD/HD/3G-SDI inputs into a single-mode optical output, and vice versa, enhancing flexibility in how broadcast signals are routed and managed across various media platforms. Such capabilities make the M400A-3T/3R a versatile tool in any broadcast engineer's arsenal.

Robust System Specifications
The M400A-3T/3R is designed to support a wide range of broadcasting standards, from 3G-SDI to HD-SDI and SD-SDI, adhering to the SMPTE 424M, SMPTE 292, and SMPTE 259M standards respectively. This ensures that the system can handle virtually any broadcast feed, maintaining high fidelity and signal integrity even over long distances through fiber optic transmission.

Designed for Durability and Ease of Use
The physical build of the M400A-3T/3R is as robust as its technical specifications. Housed in a 1U rack-mountable enclosure that weighs less than 6 pounds, it offers a compact and lightweight solution without sacrificing durability or functionality. The front panel is equipped with an array of controls including a power switch, status display, and LED indicators, all designed to provide straightforward navigation and monitoring.

Streamlined Configuration and Monitoring
Studio Technologies has equipped the M400A-3T/3R with an Ethernet port that facilitates both configuration and comprehensive performance monitoring through web-based interfaces or SNMP. This feature allows users to adjust settings and check the system’s status remotely, streamlining the management of broadcast operations and ensuring consistent performance across all deployed units.
