Stay in sync with your crew using the built-in talkback system. It features two 5-pin XLR connections for professional headsets and a three-way audio mixer per output. The converter also supports standard television industry talkback protocols and includes a tracker output for specialized communication needs.

Advanced IP Video Design

Built on a compact IP video-based architecture, the Blackmagic Camera Fiber Converter provides one 12G-SDI feed for Ultra HD camera signals and three independent 3G-SDI return feeds.
