Middle Things Fiber Camera Box PTZ 12G

The Middle Things Fiber Camera Box PTZ 12G is a compact dual channel optical converter that converts dual 4K SDI In + 4K SDI Out + LAN IP 1G signal into a single fiber optic cable via a robust Neutrik OpticalCon Duo connector. It is very similar to the Fiber Camera Box 12G, the only difference is the added 1G LAN port on the back, making it ideal for PTZ cameras!

Three cables in one, made for efficiency, long distances… and PTZ!

Ever been bothered by the time-consuming task of running three different SDI cables to one camera, one for input, one for return feed, and one for LAN control? Fiber Camera Box 12G combines these three cables into a single fiber optic cable, which is lighter and much more reliable than traditional copper BNC cables because it is immune to all electromagnetic interference. You can run your fiber optic cable for thousands of kilometers without any dropouts... in 4K!

Rugged converter designed for field use

The converter’s compact size, aluminum housing and VLock clamp make it ideal for on-camera use. With both an SDI input and SDI output, the camera operator can also receive program video (or other video) from the control room. Since the Blackmagic Camera Control & Talkback protocol is also supported, it is the perfect companion for a URSA Broadcast , a URSA Mini or a Studio Camera 4K Pro. A D-tap to 12V socket is included, so you can power the converter from your camera.

Industry standard and widely used fiber connector

The Neutrik Optical ConDuo connector makes this converter compatible with both the widely used LC/LC fiber cables and the robust Neutrik Optical Con Advanced Duo & Duo Lite cables, designed for field use and harsh environments. The connector has a built-in automatic shutter that protects the fiber cores when the cable is disconnected.

Many possibilities with the Middle Fiber products

In combination with a Fiber Dispatch 4 PTZ or another Fiber Camera Box 12G PTZ, many configurations are possible that will greatly improve your daily multi-camera workflow!

Compatibility (read!)

The Fiber Camera Box PTZ 12G (Slave) can be used with the Middle Things Dispatch 4 PTZ 12G or the Fiber Camera Box SDI 12G (Master). The Fiber Dispatch 4 is not required. Two Fiber Camera Box PTZ can be connected to each other, but please note that a Slave unit must be used with a Master and vice versa. You cannot connect a Slave to a Slave or a Master to a Master.

The Dispatch 4 PTZ acts as a master device. Apart from this compatibility difference, the Slave and Master are exactly the same device in terms of functions.

Supported SDI video signals are 3G, 6G and 12G (max 2160p60 )
