Example OG-FiDO-2T-12G Signal Flow Diagram
This diagram shows four OG-FiDO-2T-12G openGear cards being used in an OG-X-FR rack frame, which highlights the high density capability of the openGear platform. The rack is installed at a live concert event stage. There are eight 12G-SDI cameras being used at the live event. In pairs, these cameras are connected to the OG-FiDO-2T-12G converters, providing a 12G-SDI to fiber conversion. The OB truck has another OG-X-FR rack frame with four OG-FiDO-2R-12G openGear cards providing the fiber to 12G-SDI conversion from the fiber pairs received from the stage. These eight 12G-SDI feeds are driving the OB truck production gallery monitors with ultra low latency.
