Features and Daily Useful Innovations
6G-SDI to UHD HDMI Conversion
Support for UHD up to 2160p30 and 4:4:4 ensures precise image quality on HDMI monitoring displays. When connected to an HD-only screen, the integrated down-converter automatically adapts the signal for instant display.
Signal Security and Smooth Switching
The ALT SDI input automatically switches over in case of main signal loss. The
Instant Lock feature stabilizes the HDMI output during source changes, preventing screen blackouts in the control room.
Flexible Audio for the Sound Chain
The converter de-embeds SDI audio to balanced analog outputs, AES/EBU, or via HDMI, to feed a monitoring speaker, console, or separate recorder.
Universal Compatibility and Simplified Maintenance
Automatic detection of SD, HD, and 6G-SDI rates, firmware updates and settings via USB, plus mini-switches for quick field configuration.
