Lynx Technik yellobrik OTT 1442 Dual Channel 12G SDI to Fiber Transmitter (CWDM)

The OTT 1442 is engineered to address the challenges associated with distributing uncompressed broadcast-quality video signals over extended distances. When paired with a dual-channel 12G fiber optic to SDI receiver, such as the yellobrik ORR 1402, it forms a cost-effective optical transmission system capable of handling two independent signals up to 12Gbit/s (4096x2160 at 60Hz), ensuring full uncompressed quality. Each of the two channels operates independently, automatically detecting and re-clocking any 270Mbit/s, 1.5Gbit/s, 3Gbit/s, or 12Gbit/s SDI source before optical transmission. The module is fully compatible with 3G Level A and Level B formats. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
