Formatting and converting digital video streams to interface standards: DVI/HDMI, VGA, 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SDI, CVBS and USB, with great output has never been better then with the Aegis SDI-FIBER-EH-GM Interface Board.  Paired with select FCB High Definition Sony Block Cameras: FCB-EH6500 (FCBEH6500), FCB-EH6300 (FCBEH6300), FCB-EH3400 (FCBEH3400), FCB-EH3300 (FCBEH3300), FCB-EH3150 (FCBEH3150), FCB-EH3410 (FCBEH3410), FCB-EH3310 (FCBEH3310), FCB-H11 (FCBH11) and FCB-SE600 (FCBSE600), this board produces highest quality images over long distances supporting underwater and sdi-fiber-eh-gm_1underground applications. For a number of years, copper and glass were the only two physical means of media used in networking data underground as well as underwater and both are very expensive medias.  Now with fiber optics, you can go great distances at a reasonable price. Sony Image Sensing Solutions announced a partnership with a Belgium company to deliver a range of high definition block cameras for deep-water pipe inspection for the oil and gas industry.  These cameras are used to monitor the integrity of underwater pipelines, oil well caps and rigs.  Fiber or copper cabling is required to reach the depths of 4,000m and pressure of 400 atmospheres.  Standard interface boards could not reach underwater depths like these, but with an interface board like the SDI-FIBER-EH-GM utilizing copper or fiber optics, these depths are easily reachable. Underwater, underground or above ground, the SDI-FIBER-EH-GM board supports  high definition outputs in 1080i, 1080p and 720p as well as optical and dual coax HD-SDI outputs, compliant to SMPTE292M, SMPTE274M, and SMPTE296M. For all of your interface boards and camera needs, as well as accessories such as housings and cables, Aegis Electronic Group, Inc. has you connected.  Contact one of our friendly and knowledgeable sales staff  members for pricing and information.  Visit us on the web at https://www.aegis-elec.com , like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/IndustrialCameras and tweet us on Twitter @ http://www.twitter.com/aegiselectronic   http://www.engineerlive.com/content/camera-monitors-structural-integrity-underwater-oil-and-gas-pipelines
