The 9212-FTx is a 3G/HD/SD-SDI fiber transmitter (EO) card for the 8321 openGear™ 20-slot frame. The card converts an SDI signal to a fiber optic link, allowing for longer transport distances.

The 9212-FTx also equalizes the incoming SDI signal, and then reclocks the signal with automatic rate detection for all popular data rates. Card-edge LED indicators identify the presence of incoming video and the identified signal data rate. With full 3G/HD/SDI support of both fiber and coax, the 9212-FTx is the ideal universal SDI distribution amplifier.

Designed for the 8321 openGear™ 20-slot frame, the 9212-FTx can operate as a 1x5 (one in, five out) DA with fiber output using a full rear module (9212-FTx-B) or as an independent 1x2 DA with fiber output using the split rear module (9212-FTx-B/S). In the 1x2 configuration, the outputs are non-inverting making it an excellent ASI distribution amplifier. Using the split rear module, up to 20 9212-FTx cards can be used in a frame.
