HDMI & 12G-SDI Fiber-optic technology has become a critical component of modern live broadcast and event production systems. Its ability to transmit large volumes of video, audio, and data over long distances with minimal signal degradation makes it indispensable in complex production workflows.
HDMI has come a long way since it was introduced more than two decades ago. Each new revision increased bandwidth, added features, and supported higher resolutions. Today, 4K60 4:4:4 is considered baseline, and 8K workflows are slowly making their way into real projects.
we break down key SDI variants (3G-SDI and 12G-SDI) and explain why fiber optic transmission is the optimal choice for SDI signals—plus how our 12G-SDI fiber extenders bring these advantages to life.
There are various types of fiber optic connectors. This article explains the most common ones (LC, SC, ST, FC) and their key differences, including simplex vs duplex, single mode vs multimode, and APC/PC/UPC types.
