Chapter 1 – OG-FiDO-12G-Series
Card Series Overview
The OG-FiDO-12G-Series cards are state-of-the-art, openGear-compatible,
12G-SDI to/from Fiber converter cards, enabling SDI signals to be extended up to
10km over standard Single-Mode fiber optic cable.
Five AJA cards are available in the OG-FiDO-12G-Series:
• OG-FiDO-TR-12G, 1-Channel 12G-SDI/LC Single-Mode LC Fiber Transceiver
• OG-FiDO-T-12G-ST, 1-Channel 12G-SDI to Single-Mode ST Fiber Transmitter
• OG-FiDO-R-12G-ST, 1-Channel Single-Mode ST Fiber to 12G-SDI Receiver
• OG-FiDO-2T-12G, 2-Channel 12G-SDI to Single-Mode LC Fiber Transmitter
• OG-FiDO-2R-12G, 2-Channel Single-Mode LC Fiber to 12G-SDI Receiver
The inputs are re-clocked with best-in-class input jitter tolerance. The two
channel cards (including the Transceiver card) have completely independent
paths, allowing different SDI rates to be carried on each channel.
The fiber SFP cage is attached to the main card for added reliability and for the
best signal integrity.
NOTE: In order to allow direct fiber connection to the card, and avoid problematic
optical couplers, AJA FiDO openGear cards have the SFP cage attached to the
front card. This means that the card cannot be removed from the frame with the
SFP module, cables, and/or BNC retaining nuts installed.
