3G Triax Camera to 3G Fiber Converter (LDK 4426)
Colossal 3G Conversion Is Here

Converting 3G Transmission triax to 3G Transmission fiber just became incredibly easy, and this converter is so high quality, the results will blow your socks off!

It supports current 1080i50/60 and 720p50/60 formats as well as 1080p50/60 transmission from the LDX Series™ and LDK 8000 Elite WorldCam cameras.

3G 3D 1-2-1: No, we're not talking about the name for a futuristic robot. We're talking amazing 1-to-1 ancillary data conversion, making production easier in 2D and 3D.

Rugged with a capital 'R': This fiber media converter is so rugged it handles all weather condition without complaining, and it helps you achieve very long cable runs in excess of 10 km (6.2 miles).

Real deal diagnostics: Transmission diagnostic problems are a thing of the past. Aim, fire, and never miss your quality targets.
