Lynx Technik yellobrik OTX 1440 12G, 6G, 3G, HD SDI to Fiber Optic Transmitter (CWDM)

The OTX 1440 is engineered to address the challenges associated with distributing uncompressed broadcast-quality video signals over extended distances. When paired with a compatible fiber optic to SDI receiver, such as the ORX 1400, it forms a cost-effective optical transmission system capable of handling signals up to 12Gbit/s (4096x2160 at 60Hz), ensuring full uncompressed quality. The module operates automatically, detecting the SDI video format, reclocking it, and transmitting it over the fiber optic connection. A reclocked electrical SDI loop output is also provided for monitoring or distribution purposes. The OTX 1440 supports 12G, 6G, 3G, and 1.5G SDI video standards and offers up to 18 selectable wavelengths for comprehensive CWDM compatibility. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
