Fiber-based video transmission
Fiber-based video transmission in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana
Camera feeds, programme returns and LED wall signals carried over single-mode fiber — as 12G-SDI or as SMPTE-2110 video over IP — across kilometres, with no loss and near-zero latency.
- Formats
- SD, HD and UHD up to 2160p60 (12G-SDI)
- IP video
- SMPTE-2110 (2110-20, -21, -30, -40)
- Network
- 10G Ethernet over fiber, PTP clock sync
- Reach
- Up to 10 km on single-mode fiber
- Latency
- Effectively zero (uncompressed)
- Testing
- OTDR and light-meter tested before show
What you get
Copper SDI runs out of road at around a hundred metres in 3G and much less in 12G. At stadiums, open-ground festivals and multi-hall exhibitions the camera positions, production control and LED walls are often far apart. We bridge them with SDI-over-fiber transceivers on tactical single-mode cable: uncompressed video, kilometres of reach, immune to interference from stage power and lighting.
For larger productions we build SMPTE-2110 video-over-IP systems on Blackmagic 2110 IP converters. Each camera or screen becomes a source or destination on a 10G fiber network, so feeds can be routed anywhere on site without re-patching cables, and every converter is locked to a common PTP clock.
- 3G and 12G-SDI over single-mode fiber transceivers
- SMPTE-2110 video over IP on Blackmagic 2110 IP converters
- 10G fiber network with PTP clock sync for 2110 systems
- Programme return and talkback to camera positions
- Fiber links to LED walls, delay screens and OB vans
- Tactical armoured fiber reels, OTDR-tested before the show

SMPTE-2110 converters we deploy
Build large or small: a single camera on a mini converter, or a full multi-camera system on rack converters. Blackmagic 2110 IP converters bring existing SDI cameras, switchers and monitors onto a SMPTE-2110 fiber network.
| Specification | Blackmagic 2110 IP Mini BiDirect 12G SFP | Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 4x12G PWR | Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 8x12G SFP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where we use it | A single camera position or monitor point | Up to 4 cameras, powered over the network cable | Up to 8 cameras or screens over fiber |
| Form factor | Mini converter, in-line | 1U rack | 1U rack |
| SDI | 12G-SDI camera in, programme return out | 4 channels of 12G-SDI in and out, plus shared programme return input | 8 channels of 12G-SDI in and out, plus shared programme return input |
| Network | SFP socket for 10G optical module | 10G Ethernet on RJ-45 (Cat6) | 8 × SFP sockets for 10G optical fiber |
| Video formats | SD, HD and UHD up to 2160p60 | HD and UHD up to 2160p60 | HD and UHD up to 2160p60 |
| Power | 12V DC supply included | Powers connected cameras or converters over the 10G ports | Mains, rack-mounted |
| Extras | XLR talkback | Converts and powers up to 4 cameras | One programme return feeds all channels |
Manufacturer specifications. The Blackmagic 2110 range supports SMPTE 2110-20, -21, -30 and -40 video, audio and ancillary data, and the converters sync their SDI inputs to a PTP clock.
Failover behind every deployment
Event internet fails at the worst moment — the keynote, the launch, the live stream. So every network we deploy has a second answer for every single point of failure.
Two carriers, two routes
Primary and secondary internet come from different ISPs and enter the venue along physically separate paths. One cable cut or one carrier outage can’t take the event offline.
A third path for what can’t drop
Bonded 4G/5G or a point-to-point radio link stands behind both fibers, reserved for the live stream, payments and the organiser’s control desk.
Carrier-grade core router
All three paths terminate on a MikroTik CCR2216 cloud core router — 16-core ARM at 2.0 GHz, 16 GB RAM and dual hot-swap power supplies. It checks every path continuously and moves traffic to the next one automatically, with no one touching a cable.
Switching and priorities
A MikroTik CRS326 switch (24 Gigabit ports, 2 × SFP+ 10G) connects to the core over 10G and feeds WiFi, streaming, CCTV, registration and F&B outlets — each on its own network, with streaming and payments prioritised over guest traffic.
Protected power
Online UPS on the core, switching and PoE, sized to ride through generator changeovers and venue power dips.
Tested, watched, staffed
We pull the primary link before doors open to prove failover works. Engineers monitor every uplink and access point live, with spare hardware on site.
How a deployment runs
Survey
We walk your venue with the floor plan, check which carriers can reach it and by which routes, and plan rack space and power.
Design
You get a written network plan: bandwidth, both carriers and their routes, the backup path, access point and camera positions, VLANs and a fixed quote.
Circuits in
Two ISP partners provision dedicated circuits on separate routes; our crew terminates and tests each one.
Build and test
The core router, switches, access points and cameras go in during load-in. We load-test, then unplug the primary link to prove failover before doors open.
Live
An engineer watches every link and access point from the network desk for the whole event.
Teardown
Everything comes out after the show. You receive a usage report and any recordings.
Fiber-based video transmission questions
How far can you send video over fiber?
With single-mode fiber and the right transceivers, 3G and 12G-SDI travels up to 10 km without loss — far beyond any event site.
Is there any delay?
No meaningful delay. SDI-over-fiber and SMPTE-2110 are both uncompressed, so they suit IMAG on screens next to a live stage.
When do you use SMPTE-2110 instead of SDI over fiber?
For productions with many cameras and destinations. With 2110, every feed travels over one 10G fiber network and can be routed anywhere on site in software, instead of running a separate fiber link for each signal.
Which equipment do you use for SMPTE-2110?
Blackmagic 2110 IP converters: the Mini BiDirect 12G SFP for single positions, and the 4x12G PWR and 8x12G SFP rack converters for multi-camera systems.
Do you provide the cameras too?
We focus on transmission and networking and work with your production company, or bring our own production team for streamed events.
