SilverBULLET 12G

Mini 12G/6G/3G/HD/SDI Optical Extenders

The SilverBullets are an economical solution for transporting multi-rate SDI signals ranging from 5Mbps all the way up to 12Gbps over single mode fiber. At just three inches in length, the SilverBullets are perfect for a wide variety of professional A/V and broadcast applications.

The rugged, diecast powder coated aluminum enclosure supports the popular metallic ST-type optical connector and the SDI video connector is on a standard full size BNC. Power (5-16 VDC) is supplied using an AC Adapter with a locking DC connector that eliminates any possibility of the power cord accidentally becoming unplugged.

Integrated LEDs make troubleshooting easy with DC power and optical laser indications on the transmitter.  The receiver has DC power and optical power indicators. Not only can your RX unit receive SDI signals, it can also be used as a confidence optical power meter for ANY digital optical signal.

Auto sensing inputs provide robust cable equalization and reclocking on SDI signals.  When ASI is detected the reclocking is turned off to allow for transmission of ASI signals.

Although the SilverBullets are small in size, this does not mean they can’t handle long links. With an optical launch power of -3dBm for standard units (0 dBm for CWDM units) and receiver sensitivity to -14dBm @ 12G, and -18dBm @ 3G make fiber runs of 25km or more possible with optical power to spare.

SilverBullet transmitters can also be ordered in any of the 16 available CWDM wavelengths in order to facilitate optical multiplexing. Each pair of SilverBullets comes with 100-240VAC input wall-mount power supplies. For instances when you want to power your units from your camera battery, optional D-TAP, or USB-A, USB-C cable adapters are available.

The SilverBullets from MultiDyne. The next time you need just one more feed ten minutes prior to air, you’ll be glad you have them.
