Description

The Fiberlink 3516 series supports 2 channels of independent, bidirectional 3G/HD/SD-SDI or DVB-ASI, with or without embedded audio and data, and transmits it over one single mode fiber. Now, you can send one 3G/HD/SD-SDI signal upstream and one 3G/HD/SD-SDI signal downstream!

All SMPTE compliant signals are equalized and reclocked. Each receiver features two reclocked, non-inverting BNC outputs. The 3516 Series is compliant with SMPTE 259M-2006, 292-2006, 424M-2006, 305M-2005, 310M-2004, 344M-2000 and DVB-ASI. The series is immune to pathological patterns over entire link budget and operating temperature range. Units are configured with ST optical connectors.

Fiberlink 3516 Series is ideal for any broadcast or professional video application: broadcast studios, sporting events, confidence monitoring, OB vans, video conferencing and more!

Fiberlink 3516 is also available in a 4 channel version, Fiberlink 3518 Series.

Fiberlink 3516 is also available in a 2 fiber version, Fiberlink 3526 Series.
