BBG–CONFIG
USB SETUP AND MONITORING SOFTWARE BBG-CONFIG software provides an intuitive GUI for setup and monitoring of the latest series of BlueBoxGroup throwdown converters.
The feature set of these products is ever increasing in sophistication and a this fact calls for a easy to use tool for monitoring and to provide access to controls that aren’t feasible using the external dip switches. The BBG-CONFIG communicates with the supported BBG via the integrated Mini-USB port which can also be used for Redundant Power input. SOME BENEFITS OF USING BBG-CONFIG ARE: Monitors • A/V Presence and Status • I/O Audio Levels • Optical Tx and Rx Power

BBG-F-TO-H 〉〉
3G/HD/SD-SDI Fiber Optic-To-HDMI Converter
The new Blue Box Fiber-To-HDMI (BBG F-To-H) throw-down converter unit is a new part of the Blue Box Group™ of compact, rugged, and portable converter boxes. BBG F-To-H offers a compact throwdown unit that provides direct fiber-To-HDMI conversion and much more. The flexible built-in crosspoint and flexible I/O allows BBG-F-To-H to also act as a fiber regen while providing an HDMI output. The HDMI output can be set to instead provide a DVI-D output directly compatible with computer monitors. The BBG-FTo-H also can receive a coax SDI input (SMPTE 259M, 292M, and 424M) and in turn provide an HDMI and a fiber output. BBG F-To-H can also provide a coax SDI output while converting fiber to HDMI. A convenience stereo analog audio de-embed output is also provided. BBG-F-To-H can be configured using the device DIP switches or by using an intuitive GUI application that communicates with BBG-F-To-H over a PC’s USB port. The GUI app allows dynamic configuration control, status display, 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.

3G/HD/SD-SDI HDMI-To-Fiber Optic Converter
The Blue Box HDMI-to-Fiber (BBG-H-To-F) throw-down converter unit is a new part of the Blue Box Group™ of compact, rugged, and portable converter boxes. BBG-H-to-F offers a compact throwdown unit that provides direct HDMI-to-fiber conversion and much more. BBG-H-To-F also provides a 3G/HD/SD-SDI output, and also provides a stereo analog audio embed input. The HDMI input can also receive and convert DVI-D sources (limited to SMPTE HD formats). Along with the analog audio embedding offered by BBG-H-To-F, this allows a fiber and coax SDI output with embedded audio from DVI-D video sources. BBG-H-To-F can be configured using the device DIP switches or by using an intuitive GUI application that communicates with BBG-H-To-F over a PC’s USB port. The GUI app allows dynamic configuration control, status display, and other advanced control functions not commonly found on “throwdown” packages.
