Below is a description of each LED color, LED action, and the status represented:
Power
Constant Red
When the SMPTE hybrid fiber optic cable is connected to a powered
Blackmagic Studio Fiber Converter, and the other end of the cable is
connected to Blackmagic Camera Fiber Converter, the power LED on the
converter turns red to indicate that it is receiving power, and is in a low
power state. In this low power state, intercom functionality is enabled but
the full power required to operate the unit has not yet been enabled.
If the power LED remains red for an extended period of time and does not
turn green, check that both ends of your SMPTE hybrid fiber optic cable are
securely connected. If the connection remains unstable, check the condition
of your fiber cable.
Constant Green
After a successful fiber connection has been established and Blackmagic Studio
Fiber Converter has determined that the cable connection is safe, the power
LED will turn green and the camera converter will enter high power mode.
Flickering between
Red and Green
If the power LED flickers between red and green, check that both ends
of your SMPTE hybrid fiber optic cable are securely connected. Ifthe
connection remains unstable, check the condition of your fiber cable.
Tally
Constant Red
The tally LED illuminates red to indicate that the camera you are operating is
currently on air.
Constant Green
The tally LED illuminates green to indicate that the camera you are operating
is currently in preview mode.
Fiber
Constant Red
When the SMPTE hybrid fiber optic cable is plugged into the camera
fiber converter, the fiber LED will turn red to indicate that the handshake
process has begun, and the converter is in a low power state. In this
state, intercom functionality is enabled for use while setting up or for
troubleshooting the camera chain in case the fiber link is down.
Constant Green
Once a successful SMPTE hybrid fiber optic cable connection is established,
the fiber LED will turn green.
Once both the power and fiber lights are green, this indicates that the safety checks have been
completed, and the converters have entered high power mode.

to plug in external analog audio from professional equipment such as audio mixers, PA systems
or external microphones.
