Ideal for Studios, Live Events, and Digitization
Whether you are digitizing Betacam SP or VHS archives, connecting a set-top box, a gaming console, or an HDV camera, this converter guarantees a clean SDI output for switchers, live control rooms, recorders, and capture cards. AV technicians, live directors, and digitization managers gain a robust and quick-to-deploy solution.
Key Features for Professional SDI Workflows
Universal Analog Video Inputs
The converter accepts SD/HD component, S-Video, and NTSC/PAL composite signals and automatically switches to the detected format. You effortlessly toggle between 525i59.94, 625i50, 720p, or 1080i while maintaining consistent 4:2:2 video sampling and YUV color space.
Flexible Embedded Audio
Embed directly into the SDI stream either 2 balanced analog channels or 2 AES/EBU digital channels. The output complies with television standards of 48 kHz at 24 bits for a clean and perfectly synchronized signal.
Quick Configuration and Simplified Maintenance
Essential settings are adjusted via mini-switches or through USB 2.0 (480 Mb/s) with control software for Mac and Windows. Internal updates install within moments, extending long-term reliability.
Dual SDI Outputs
Two SDI outputs facilitate routing to a recorder and a monitor, or to two separate destinations. Integrated synchronization and SD/HD detection ensure immediate integration into a broadcast chain.
