john_goforth Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 <p>Hi guys, i have HXRMC2500 camcoder and im looking for a cheap sdi fiber link solution, so far i found these <a href="http://questtel.com/item.php?id=4&product=13">hd-sdi fiber extenders</a> for $350 , i'm about to buy them, but i need to make sure - are they compatible with Sony HXRMC camcoders , did anyone have experience with these extenders? Thank you :)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Laur Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 <p>No idea. But surely the vendor could either:<br /><br />1) Answer your question. Or,<br /><br />2) Agree to take the product back if it's not suitable for the job.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven_clark Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 <p>SDI is mostly a high-end studio cabling isn't it? I'm guessing you won't get native support for that in a camera that's not horribly expensive. So to use that with this you'd also need an HDMI-SDI converter. This seems like a lot of effort on a hack that might not even work well. Does your camera even output clean video to HDMI or does it put up the User Interface on it?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_klein Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 <p>I got five sets 3G-SDI over fiber sets from QuestTel very solid gears for the price + it comes with RS485 to control your equipment</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessa_miller2 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 <p>I agree with both Matt and Steven. The HXRMC2500 has a BNC output that is composite only. Therefore you would need an HDMI-SDI converter like the ones below:<br> http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/620830-REG/Blackmagic_Design_CONVMBHS_Mini_Converter_HDMI_to.html<br> or<br> http://thorbroadcast.com/sklep-207/produkt-244<br> Then you can connect to those fiber extenders, which I have never used that brand. If you can't figure it out, their tech support should be able to help you, especially if you need another piece that they might make :-).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
