The yellobrik CQS 1441 is a compact converter that enables single link 12G-SDI signals to be converted to quad-link 2SI 3G-SDI and visa versa (i.e. quad-link 2SI 3G-SDI signals to be converted to 12G-SDI). 6G to/from quad-link 2SI 1.5G conversions are also supported.

With many facilities still running in a 3G environment, there are many requirements to integrate 4K/UHD signals in 12G SDI into the infrastructure. The CQS 1441 yellobrik enables users to convert UHD signals between quad-link 2SI 3G and single-link 12G SDI. Plus, since its bi-directional, a single yellobrik can be used for both inputs and outputs for the application at hand.

Another key feature of this new yellobrik is its 12G fiber option and a 12G loop output. For example, a 4K UHD camera or other input source can be connected via 12G fiber to the yellobrik’s SFP fiber input and the 12G loop connects the yellobrik to a 12G video mixer for signal switching. The CQS 1441 also offers a 12G fiber to 12G coax conversion feature. Regardless of whether customers choose fiber or SDI, they can have the simplicity of running 4K over a single wire.
