4K / 12G EFP to Fiber Camera System
When the production moves to UHD, the cable should not be the thing that stops it. 12G-SDI on the video path, same one-cable camera workflow.

What this system does
- +12G-SDI video path for 4K/UHD camera heads at up to 60p.
- +Remote power supply over the hybrid cable.
- +Lemo SMPTE 304 hybrid fiber interface.
- +Camera control retained between adaptor and base station.
- +Built for live events, stadium production and OB work.
- +Rack base station plus camera adaptor pair.
Interfaces and configuration
| Video | 4K/UHD over 12G-SDI, up to 60p |
|---|---|
| Camera control | Carried across the link, configured per camera family |
| Optical interface | Lemo SMPTE 304 hybrid |
| Power | Remote power supply over hybrid cable |
| Application | Live events, stadium builds, OB trucks |
| Form factor | Camera adaptor plus rack base station |
This is the interface list we build to, not a performance claim. When a number has to go into a drawing or a tender, ask for the datasheet for the exact configuration.
Buyer questions
Does 12G-SDI over fiber need special cable?
It needs a fiber core and a laser built for 12 Gb/s, and it needs the hybrid cable to be rated for the run. The optical side of a 12G link is less forgiving of dirty connectors than HD, so cleaning and inspection become part of the maintenance routine.
Can the same system run HD today and UHD later?
Yes. The link is built for 12G, so HD is simply a lower rate on the same hardware. That is the usual reason facilities buy the 12G build before the cameras arrive.
What limits the maximum cable length?
Optical budget, cable type and connector condition. We size the link to the run you state in the order rather than quoting a single number that would not apply to your venue.
