AJA FiDO-R-SC-R0 Single-Channel SC Fiber to Dual 3G-SDI Mini Converter

AJA FiDO-R-SC-R0 Single-Channel SC Fiber to Dual 3G-SDI Mini Converter

The AJA FiDO-R-SC-R0 is a compact fiber-to-SDI mini converter that converts one SC optical fiber input into two simultaneously active 3G-SDI outputs. Supporting video resolutions up to 1080p, it enables reliable signal conversion and long-distance video transmission over single-mode fiber for professional broadcast, production, and AV workflows.

With support for transmission distances of up to 6 miles, the FiDO-R-SC-R0 helps connect remote cameras, production equipment, monitors, and other compatible SDI devices. Its compact design fits easily behind monitors, inside equipment racks, or directly on camera rigs, making it a practical solution for space-constrained installations.

Convert SC Fiber to Dual 3G-SDI

The FiDO-R-SC-R0 provides a straightforward way to convert an optical fiber signal into two SDI outputs without requiring separate fiber-to-SDI conversion equipment for each output. Both 3G-SDI outputs are active simultaneously, allowing the converted signal to feed two compatible devices.

This makes the converter useful in broadcast facilities, live production environments, remote camera installations, and professional AV systems that rely on SDI connectivity.

Extend Video Transmission Over Single-Mode Fiber

Fiber connectivity allows compatible video signals to travel much farther than typical SDI cable runs. The FiDO-R-SC-R0 supports transmission distances of up to 6 miles over single-mode fiber, helping connect equipment across studios, venues, campuses, and other large facilities.

Its SC optical fiber input provides connectivity with compatible fiber infrastructure, while the dual 3G-SDI outputs connect to supported SDI equipment.

Compact Design for Professional Production

Designed for flexible installation, the AJA FiDO-R-SC-R0 features a small form factor that fits into tight spaces behind monitors, at the back of equipment racks, or directly on camera rigs. Automatic video format detection, equalization, and reclocking help simplify deployment in professional video signal chains.

The converter also supports compatible ASI signals and meets relevant SMPTE specifications for professional video applications.

Power and Installation

The FiDO-R-SC-R0 consumes approximately 1.5W and features a locking power connector to help prevent accidental disconnection. A worldwide 5–20V power supply is included, along with four interchangeable plug adapters for use with compatible regional outlets.
