LYNX Technik Yellobrik OTX 1410 SDI to Fiber Optic Transmitter
Best professional solution for long-distance 4K broadcast video transmission.
The LYNX OTX 1410 ST is a compact Yellobrik transmitter designed to extend the reach of uncompressed, broadcast-quality video signals. It efficiently converts SDI inputs up to 12Gbit/s (4K/60Hz) to fiber optic for long-distance transmission. When paired with a compatible receiver, it creates a cost-effective optical link that preserves full, uncompressed video quality. The transmitter automatically detects and reclocks the SDI format, transmitting it over single-mode fiber via an ST connector. A convenient reclocked electrical SDI loop output is also provided for local monitoring or distribution.

Know before you buy
The OTX 1410 supports transmission distances of up to 10 kilometers (approximately 6.2 miles) when using single-mode fiber.
No, the device transmits uncompressed video signals. This ensures that your broadcast-quality footage remains untouched and maintains its full integrity from end to end.
Yes, the module includes a reclocked electrical SDI loop output. This allows you to connect a local monitor or distribution device directly to the transmitter without needing a separate receiver.
Not at all. The unit features automatic format detection and reclocking, meaning it will identify the incoming SDI rate between 1.5Gbit/s and 12Gbit/s and adjust accordingly.
This unit is designed for single-mode fiber (SMF) and utilizes an ST-style connector for the optical output.
The transmitter has a nominal power requirement of +12VDC, but it is designed to accept a wide input range of 7V to 24VDC, making it versatile for various field power setups.
