The Blue Box Coax-To-Fiber throw-down converter unit is a new part of the BlueBox™ group of compact, rugged, and portable converter boxes. Super-easy to use, Blue Box Coax-To-Fiber supports SMPTE 424M, 292M, and 259M as well as DVB, ASI, and MADI audio. Auto-mode EQ/reclocking automatically sets to the signal type being received (unrecognized formats are safely passed without reclocking). Its wide operating range (from 5Mbps to 3Gbps) flexibly supports most professional digital serial communications. Fully error-free pathological pattern operation is fully compatible with professional fiber video interfaces.
