DeckLink Optical Fiber  

The world's first capture card to include optical fiber SDI connections.


Introduction

 

The DeckLink Optical Fiber is the world's first capture card to include optical fiber SDI connections.


 

The DeckLink Optical Fiber is identical to the DeckLink SDI, but lowers the cost of using optical fiber SDI by building optical fiber directly into the card.

The DeckLink Optical Fiber is compatible with Windows, Apple Mac OS X and Linux computers and features HD/SD SDI, optical fiber SDI capture and playback, reference input, RS-422 deck control and SD keying.

The DeckLink Optical Fiber let's you use common low cost optical fiber networking cable that electricians can install. Optical Fiber is virtually future proof and is the future of SDI video for the television industry.
