The camera audio is embedded into channels 1 and 2 of the camera feed, and the 2 audio

inputs on the back of the camera fiber converter are embedded as channels 3 and 4. All 4

audio channels are also deembedded at the other end on the studio fiber converter as analog

audio outputs.

The ‘audio’ page in the menu of your Blackmagic Studio Fiber Converter lets you adjust the

input levels for audio sources connected to the XLR inputs on your Blackmagic Camera Fiber

Converter. For more information refer to the ‘operating the studio fiber converter’ section.

Onceconnected, you can use the XLR input assign switch to set how the XLR inputs behave

when selected as an input source. The options available are mic audio, line level audio and

AESdigital audio.

If you would like to connect microphones that aren’t self powered, you can enable 48V phantom

power. Move the phantom power switch to ‘+48V’ to enable phantom power for any microphone

connected to the XLR below, or ‘off’ to disable phantom power.

IP Video

A connected SMPTE Fiber cable provides for a 10-Gbit IP link between your Camera Fiber

Converter and the Studio Fiber Converter. This allows all of your video and return feeds to be

IPvideo based using high end, visually lossless broadcast quality 10-bit video encoding and

decoding. All other connections such as talkback, tally, camera control and lens control are

alsoconverted to low-latency IP so you get incredibly reliable performance.

Power Specifications

The Blackmagic Studio Fiber Converter provides power for Blackmagic Camera Fiber

Converter, your camera and it’s accessories. A molex connector plugs into the molex socket on

your camera’s rear panel to send power to your camera from the Camera Fiber Converter.

If you need to position your camera at a distance of more than 2.1 km from the broadcast truck,

and your camera and converter are not receiving enough power over the long cable run, you

can power the camera and converter locally by having the 4 pin XLR from the camera’s power

supply plugged into the +12V input on your URSA Broadcast G2 or URSA Mini. The power will

be sent through the molex connector to the Camera Fiber Converter.

The ‘+12V out’ connector, sometimes referred to as a ‘D-tap’ or ‘P-tap’ allows you to power

accessories like an external monitor or a large box lens, with 12V DC nominal at up to 500 mA. The

‘DC out’ connector provides an additional option for powering accessories likean external monitor.
