BZBGEAR BG-FES12G PRODUCT MANUAL
Introduction
The BG-FES12G is a 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI SFP single mode fiber optic extender that is
an economical solution. It is designed for transmission of multi-rate SDI video with
embedded audio and metadata over single-mode fiber optic cables. The transmitter module
receives one 12G/6G/3G/HD/SDI electrical input, perfectly converts SMPTE 292M, SMPTE
259M, SMPTE 424M, SMPTE 2082 or DVBASI electrical SDI signal to single-mode optical
SDI signals. The receiver module receives the optical signal and then converts it to an
electrical SDI signal. BG-FES12G is immune to pathological patterns (SMPTE RP-198) and
does not introduce any flickering. This feature further guarantees the transmission quality
over optical fiber.
Both transmitter and receiver provide equalizing and reclocking at the input unit in order to
reconstruct the signal for consistent quality. The BG-FES12G is perfect for broadcasting
applications including video production, video editing, studio-to-studio, and studio-to-CATV
headends. In addition, since transmission of content is inherently secure and immune to
outside interference, fiber applications are favored in government, military, and medical
environments.

Note:
1. RP-198 is the Pathological Patterns.
2. Fiber type: M = multi-mode; S = single-mode.
3. Maximum transmission length is dependent upon the optics module.
