Blackmagic Design CONVMOF Reviews

Great little throw down !

We got these as we were in a pinch. Set multiple to remote stages for our biggest festival. No it does not come with sfp's, but that allows you to decide what signal you need 3G/ 6G/ 12G and spend accordingly. Locking ps is a appreciated feature. Have performed flawlessly having traveled the country to various music events. These units are perfect for FOH positions as you can send video to DLX/ Servers and get a server feed or spy cam back.

An improved product

The device is improved in a number of ways over the previous generation. It's smaller, feels stronger, and has a threaded locking power supply port. It is a little awkward that you have to add your own SFP module, which is not exactly immediately clear, but it does keep the cost quite low for anyone needing only 1080 resolution. The 12G stuff makes this product more expensive than its 4k predecessor, so that's a drawback. But, having bi-directional function on these is a lifesaver in all sorts of situations - not the least of which is sending a confidence monitor signal to any given camera position, which really helps in engineering live events.
