That’s the statement made in Kondor Blue’s product release video for the company’s new Fletch Fiber Module System: “Your camera needs this HDMI-to-Fiber upgrade.” And while a good therapist might help you understand that you don’t need anything, it’s understandable why you might want this upgrade.
Set to convert HDMI 2.1 signals into native OM3 MPO fiber, which should free up your workflows of bulky boxes, and with no latency or compromises, this system should give your HDMI camera output camera a true built-in fiber port, which would be great for video village setups, OB trucks, or remote feeds.
Let’s look at what the Fletch Fiber Module System has to offer and let you decide if this is a want or a need.
The Kondor Blue Fletch Fiber Module System
As mentioned above, this next-gen HDMI to Fiber system comes as an ultra-compact TX/RX kit. It’s designed to fully unleash the power of native fiber connectivity without the hindrances of bulky fiber backs or heavier broadcast boxes.
The result is an HDMI to Fiber system that is sleek, seamless, and capable of providing high-performance video transmission from any HDMI camera that you might want to use for your projects.
The system itself works to convert HDMI 2.1 signals to OM3 MPO fiber, which can support up to 8K60 or 4K120 with zero-latency transmission over distances up to 1,000 feet. The overall goal is to provide crews with the ability to run lines to video villages or to send feeds across a stage as if your camera suddenly has a built-in fiber port.
