## Long description

The AJA FiDO-2R-12G is an active video converter designed for bidirectional 12G/3G/HD/SD-SDI to fiber conversion. With a 12 Gbit/s bandwidth and support for cable runs up to 10 km over standard single‑mode fiber, the FiDO-2R-12G enables transmission of high-resolution, high‑frame‑rate and deep‑color video over a single optical link. The unit is compact and lightweight, measuring 117 mm × 43.5 mm × 21.6 mm and weighing 0.2 kg, with a grey low‑profile enclosure suited for rack, camera or field use. The converter includes a BNC output interface and operates from a 20 V input; it ships with a universal power supply and offers an optional P‑TAP connection for battery operation.
Advantages
The FiDO-2R-12G provides high bandwidth capacity to carry 12G‑SDI signals across long distances without intermediate conversion, reducing cable clutter and simplifying signal routing. Its compact housing and locking power connector allow installation in constrained spaces and on camera rigs while minimizing accidental disconnection. Universal power support and compatibility with optional battery power increase deployment flexibility for studio, OB truck, and remote location workflows.
Suitable for
 Live production and OB vans requiring long‑distance SDI transport
 Broadcast studios and post‑production facilities handling 4K/12G‑SDI workflows
 Camera‑to‑fiber links for ENG, documentary and cinematic shoots
 Point‑to‑point fiber connections between equipment racks or buildings

How to use
Connect the SDI source to the converter's SDI input and link the fiber output to the receiving FiDO unit or other compatible fiber transceiver using single‑mode fiber. Apply power using the supplied universal power supply or an optional P‑TAP battery cable and ensure the locking power connector is seated. Verify signal lock and format compatibility (12G/3G/HD/SD‑SDI) at both ends. For multi‑device setups, label fiber runs and confirm link polarity to avoid cross‑connects.
Usage recommendations
Use standard single‑mode fiber for long runs up to 10 km and maintain clean fiber end faces to ensure reliable transmission. For camera‑mounted installations, secure the converter to prevent strain on connectors and consider using the optional P‑TAP cable for battery power in remote shoots. Ensure the universal power supply's international plug is appropriate for local mains and keep the locking connector engaged to prevent accidental power loss.
