Multimode Optical Signal Dropping
Hello Everybody,
Recently we upgraded our camera to a Sony SRG-A40 4K PTZ Camera because it supports 3G signal using 3G SDI extender. This great and all, but, upon switching to full 1080p 60hz the signal kept dropping resulting in a pixelated flashing screen. We are currently utilizing multi mode fiber. The distance between the points is around 600 meters which is close to the optical extender's signal limitation. Are there any optical signal boosters so we do not require further investment in an 800 meter multimode extender kit?
Thank you,
Fredrick

Hi Fredrick,
It sounds like you're encountering a signal degradation issue due to the distance limitation of your current setup. Since you're using multimode fiber, a potential solution could be to use optical signal boosters (also known as optical amplifiers) that work with multimode fiber. These devices help to extend the transmission range without the need for additional extender kits.
In addition, it's also important to ensure that your fiber connections and connectors are up to standard, as poor quality connectors can contribute to signal loss.
Good luck with your setup!
