Arnie is correct. I hate recommending Blackmagic products on an AJA forum, but what we are all seeing is that both AJA and Blackmagic are starting to make complimentary products – not just products that compete with each other (like Kona vs. Decklink). This SDI to fibre converter is a unique product at a unique price.
I find it very exciting to see revolutionary products from AJA (like the KiPro, and FS1) and products from Blackmagic (like the Ultrascope and this SDI to Fibre converter) that dont’ compete with each other, but allow ALL of us to have hi end HD-SDI products at reasonable prices.
Thanks to both companies.
