In the Line of Reference Compact Converters
The Mini Converter UpDownCross HD is part of the compact converter range renowned for their robustness and image fidelity. This ?HD? version combines up, down, and cross-conversion functions within a discreet enclosure, while adding advanced reference management and video processing inherited from Teranex solutions.
Who Is It For and What For?
Ideal for multicamera studios, postproduction, or live streaming, it unifies the formats of all your sources. Cameras in 1080i, computers in 720p, desktop computer DVI outputs: the converter delivers the exact format expected by your switcher, without surprises and with exemplary lock stability.
Key Features for a Modern Workflow
Precision conversion: up/down/cross between all common SD and HD formats (up to 1080p60), with 4:2:2 sampling and YUV color space for full broadcast compatibility. SDI metadata, including timecode and closed captions, are properly handled.
Rock-solid synchronization: the reference input accepts black burst and tri-level sync to lock distribution in SD or HD. Automatic audio delay maintains perfect audio/video alignment, even during format changes.
I/O versatility: on the video side, you have one SD/HD/3G-SDI input, one loop-through SDI output, and two SDI outputs, plus one HDMI type A input and output. The HDMI output intelligently adapts to the monitor thanks to EDID management.
Convenient and scalable: immediate configuration via mini switches, updates via USB, macOS and Windows compatibility. The universal 12 V power supply with international adapters is included for easy travel.
