Key Information About the SDI Distribution Converter ?Mini Converter SDI Distribution?
- 1 SD/HD/3G-SDI input automatically detected to 8 synchronized SDI outputs.
- Compatibility up to 1080p60 and 2K DCI formats in 3G-SDI level B.
- Support for ASI streams, ancillary data, and embedded audio for broadcast workflows.
- Easy integration in control rooms with included 12 V universal power supply.
In the Line of Mini Converters: Reliable and Designed for Control Rooms
Designed for demanding production environments, the ?Mini Converter SDI Distribution? belongs to the Mini Converter family, known for its stability and simplicity. It distributes an SD or HD-SDI signal to eight perfectly synchronized outputs, while automatically switching between SD, HD, and 3G up to 1080p60. Ideal when Ultra HD is not required, it offers a robust and cost-effective solution for multi-device broadcasting.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
This 1x8 SDI distributor is intended for live control rooms, studios, TV sets, performance venues, houses of worship, and streaming setups. It simultaneously powers mixers, recorders, monitoring displays, and converters, while maintaining signal integrity through synchronized outputs. A reliable choice to standardize a professional video infrastructure.
Key Features for Impeccable SDI Signals
Automatic switching instantly recognizes SD, HD, or 3G-SDI and replicates the format identically across all eight outputs. Compatibility with YUV and RGB color spaces, 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 processing, as well as embedded 48 kHz 24-bit audio ensures faithful distribution of the master signal. Support for ASI streams and ancillary data facilitates integration into broadcast chains. Powered by 12 V with a wide 12 to 31 V DC range, the converter adapts to field power supplies as well as technical racks, consuming only 4.80 W.
