The MultiDyne VB-3817 is a compact, high-performance fiber transport solution designed to extend professional camera signals over long distances with reliability and efficiency.
Part of the LightBrix series, this rugged unit is engineered for demanding broadcast, live production, and AV environments where flexibility and signal integrity are critical.
Optimised for PTZ, POV, and box camera applications, the VB-3817 supports the transmission of up to 4K video via quad-link 3G-SDI, making it suitable for modern UHD workflows. It enables the transport of multiple signal types—including SDI video, Genlock/Sync, and bi-directional Gigabit Ethernet—over a single-mode fibre connection. This streamlined approach reduces cabling complexity while maintaining a clean and efficient system design.
Designed with versatility in mind, the MultiDyne VB-3817 is available in multiple configurations, supporting one to four channels of 3G-SDI. Its ability to handle SMPTE-compliant video formats ensures compatibility with a wide range of broadcast equipment. Integrated Genlock support allows for precise synchronisation in multi-camera environments, while the built-in 10/100/1000 Ethernet connectivity facilitates camera control, monitoring, and IP-based workflows.
The unit’s compact and durable form factor makes it ideal for both fixed installations and mobile production setups. Front panel LED indicators provide clear, real-time status monitoring for power and signal presence, simplifying troubleshooting in fast-paced environments. With transmission distances of up to 20km over single-mode fibre, the VB-3817 is well-suited for studios, OB trucks, stadiums, and remote production links.
