Racketeer-12G

12G-SDI Electrical to/from Optical Conversion Kit

Description

The Racketeer-12G is a robust and versatile solution for high-performance electrical-to-optical and optical-to-electrical signal conversion. It supports a wide range of SDI standards, including 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI, while also being compatible with ASI and MADI signals. Designed to handle data rates from 50 Mb/s to 12 Gb/s, it ensures reliable signal transmission for professional broadcast and production environments.
 
Equipped with integrated signal reclockers, the Racketeer-12G delivers enhanced performance by maintaining signal integrity over long distances. It supports both single-mode and multi-mode fibre configurations, allowing flexibility across various setups. Using a single-core optical fibre, the device achieves forward transmission of 12G-SDI video signals without delay or compression, maintaining exceptional signal quality over distances of up to 10 km in singlemode fibre or 300 meters in multimode fibre.
 
The compact design incorporates advanced features such as built-in serial clock recovery, signal equalisation, and line drive capabilities. Automatic signal detection ensures compatibility with multiple standards, including SMPTE ST2082-1, ST2081-1, SMPTE424M, SMPTE292M, SMPTE259M, SMPTE297M, SMPTE305M, and SMPTE310M. This makes the Racketeer-12G a reliable choice for demanding applications.
 
The aluminium housing enhances durability, offering corrosion resistance and excellent thermal and conductive properties, making it suitable for harsh operational conditions.
 
The Racketeer-12G delivers high-quality, reliable signal conversion for professional use, combining advanced functionality, robust construction, and precision engineering.
