Operating the Studio Fiber Converter
Selecting the LCD Source
When powered on, your Blackmagic Studio Fiber Converter’s large LCD will display the feed
from your camera. As the central base unit, the Studio Fiber Converter takes the program feed
from your switcher plus all return sources, and feeds them to the Blackmagic Camera Fiber
Converter via the SMPTE fiber cable.
The built in LCD lets you monitor the camera feed and each source connected to the return
feed inputs. It provides a heads-up type display with status information and audio meters.
The overlays allow you to confirm the name and format of the source
you are monitoring when switching between feeds
On Air
The red ‘on air’ icon will be displayed when the connected camera is being used in the
program feed, and will remain blank when not on air.
Format
Displays the resolution and frame rate of the current source.
Source
Displays the current source name.
Power
Displays the current power status. ‘Low’ will be displayed with a red status light during
connection to indicate a low power state and ‘high’ will be displayed with a green status
light after the unit has entered high power mode. For more information, refer to the
‘status indicators’ section in the ‘operating the camera fiber converter’.
Fiber
Displays the current fiber status. ‘Connecting’ will be displayed with a red status light during
the initial connection process and ‘connected’ will be displayed with a green status light once
a successful SMPTE hybrid fiber optic cable connection is established. For more information,
refer to the ‘status indicators’ section in the ‘operating the camera fiber converter’.
Audio Meters
The peak audio meters display audio levels when using camera audio embedded into
channels 1 and 2 of the camera feed. Channels 3 and 4 correspond with audio sources
connected to the two XLR inputs on the back of your Blackmagic Camera Fiber
Converter. The display is calibrated to dBFS units and features peak hold indicators
which stay visible for a short time so you can clearly see the maximum levels reached.
