Description

Genlock / Black Burst / Tri-Level Sync over Fiber Extender Kit

The Genlock Over Fiber Extender is a professional solution for transporting genlock, black burst (bi-level), and tri-level sync signals over fiber optic cable across long distances. This sync over fiber system enables reliable video reference and timing distribution for broadcast and professional AV environments, eliminating signal degradation and interference found in traditional copper connections.

Designed for high-performance applications, this genlock fiber extender supports long-distance genlock over fiber transmission, making it ideal for broadcast sync over fiber, studio timing distribution, and OB truck synchronization over fiber networks. The system ensures stable and accurate video sync over fiber, maintaining precise timing across cameras, switchers, and production equipment.

This fiber optic sync system functions as a genlock transmitter and receiver, supporting black burst over fiber and tri-level sync over fiber for both SD and HD video formats. It provides a flexible genlock fiber converter solution for modern broadcast infrastructure, ensuring consistent and low-jitter signal delivery.

Ideal for use in broadcast studios, live production, stadiums, and mobile production units, this video reference over fiber solution delivers reliable performance for mission-critical timing applications.
