INTRODUCTION

This HDMI to 12G-SDI Converter allows HDMI signals up to 4K UHD+ to be converted for use in native 12G-SDI video systems. This makes it easier for professionals to integrate and distribute non-HDCP HDMI signals from both consumer and prosumer video equipment, such as video cameras and laptops, within their professional video production environment while still providing a local HDMI output for monitoring purposes. Additionally, the inclusion of an analogue stereo input lets users optionally insert external audio into the SDI output signal along with the primary video. Basic control is available via front panel buttons.

APPLICATIONS

Display HDMI video signals on professional SDI displays Consumer HDMI to broadcast SDI video signal conversion 4K UHD HDMI signal conversion to 12G SDI

PACKAGE CONTENTS

• 1× HDMI to 12G-SDI Converter
• 1× 5V/2.6A DC Power Adapter
• 1× Operation Manual

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

• Non-HDCP HDMI source equipment such as media players, video game consoles, or set-top boxes.
• SDI receiving equipment such as editing/recording decks, professional studio monitors, or video broadcast equipment.

FEATURES

• HDMI 2.0 and DVI 1.0 compliant
• HDCP 1.x and 2.2 compliant
  • Note: HDCP encoded content can only be output over the HDMI output. The SDI output will be blocked in the case of HDCP content.
