BN328

The BN328 Series is a versatile range of compact, stand-alone fibre-optic interfaces designed for remote video applications up to 8K resolution. It supports the transport of up to four independent SDI video signals across SD, HD, 3G, 6G, and 12G formats, along with one or two Gigabit Ethernet data streams, over a single fibre link at distances of up to 20 km. This makes the BN328 ideal for quad-12G 8K cameras with Ethernet control, as well as other applications requiring reliable long-distance transport of multiple SDI signals and control data.

To meet the demands of live production environments, the BN328 features integrated SDI reclocking on all video paths to maintain signal integrity and minimise jitter over extended distances. Power is supplied via a robust 4-pin XLR DC input, and the unit is housed in a compact, weatherproof enclosure, making it suitable for outdoor, OB, and remote deployments. Connectivity includes four BNC connectors for SDI video, one or two RJ45 Ethernet ports, and a dual LC optical interface. An optical expansion (EXP) port allows High Band (1470–1610 nm) and Low Band (1270–1410 nm) units to be cascaded, effectively doubling capacity to transport up to eight 12G-SDI signals and four Gigabit Ethernet streams over a single fibre, with additional optical signals supported on unused wavelengths.
