The BlueBox 3G/HD/SD-SDI/ASI reconfigurable video SFP transceiver with externally-accessible SFP module (BBG-SFP-SXH) throw-down converter unit is a new part of the Blue Box Group™ of compact, rugged, and portable converter boxes.

The unprecedented flexibility of a user-accessible, externally-mounted SFP module on a throwdown unit makes BBG-SFP-SXH easily configurable as transceiver/converter between coaxial and fiber interfaces. The external SFP cage (along with numerous SFP choices) makes BBG-SFP-SXH virutally obsolescence-proof. BBG-SFP-SXH also features a 3G/ HD/SD-SDI selectable input or output with SDI reclock copy and can convert SDI to HDMI. A convenience stereo analog audio de-embed output is also provided.

BBG-SFP-SXH can be configured using the device DIP switches or by using the intuitive BBGConfig GUI application that communicates with BBG-SFP-SXH over a PC's USB port. The GUI app allows dynamic configuration control, status display (including optical receive power where applicable), and other advanced control functions not commonly found on "throwdown" packages. When configured using the GUI app, the USB connection can be removed with all settings held in non-volatile device memory.
