Middle Things Fiber Dispatch 4 PTZ 12G

Designed for multi-camera PTZ workflows on-site, the Middle Things Fiber Dispatch 4 converts 4 pairs of SDI in/out 4K video + IP LAN signals to 4 fiber optic outputs using robust Neutrik OpticalCon Duo connectors. It looks very similar to the Fiber Dispatch 5 12G, but the difference is the added 1G LAN port on the back, adding LAN communication to all 4 fiber outputs, making it ideal for PTZ cameras!

Standard 1U rack design

With its compact 1U rack design, the Fiber Dispatch 4 converter fits perfectly into your existing video rack, allowing you to connect up to 4 PTZ cameras with the Fiber Camera Box PTZ (Slave version). Built-in fans ensure proper cooling of all converters for a smooth workflow.

Made for efficiency and long-distance 4K

Ever been bothered by the time-consuming task of running three different SDI cables to a single camera, one for the video input, one for the return feed, and one for LAN control? The Fiber Dispatch 4 merges each of these cable triplets into Duo Fiber Optic Cables, which are lighter and far more reliable than traditional copper BNC cables because they are immune to all electromagnetic interference. You can run your fiber cable for thousands of miles without a dropout.

Standard and widely used fiber optic connector

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

Compatibility

The Fiber Dispatch 4 can be used with the Middle Things Fiber Camera Box PTZ 12G - Standard Version (Slave) . It is not compatible with the Master version of the camera box, because the Dispatch 4 is a Master. It supports single mode LC optical fiber cables, as well as Neutrik OpticalCon Duo and OpticalCon Duo Lite cables. Supported SDI video signals are 3G, 6G and 12G (max 2160p60 ).
