Blackmagic ATEM Studio Converter 2

Convert SDI signals received over optical fibre for use with video switchers with the Blackmagic ATEM Studio Converter 2. Optical fibre signals can travel much further than SDI without quality degradation, and when combined with the ATEM Camera Converter, users can send a video signal up to 28 miles, as opposed to the normal range of 300 feet when using copper cables.
