AJA showed the HA5-Fiber Mini-Converter, which converts HDMI to 3G-SDI over single-mod optical fiber, at InfoComm 2016.

The HA5-Fiber can extend HDMI signals up to 10 km, AJA said, and supports up to eight channels of embedded audio. Two RCA-style plugs are included for dedicated stereo audio input. 

"Whether from a camera or extending signal paths from HDMI sources in racks, this new Mini makes it very easy to integrate HDMI signals into fiber infrastructure,” AJA President Nick Rashby said in a prepared statement.

The HA5-Fiber is scheduled to ship in July with included power supply and USB 2 cable for an MSRP of $695.
