1. INTRODUCTION
This 12G-SDI to HDMI Converter allows SDI signals up to 4K UHD+to be
converted for display on standard HDMI video displays. This makes it easier
for professionals to monitor or output professional SDI video production
sources on standard, relatively low-cost, HDMI displays while allowing the
original SDI signal to continue to be looped on to other SDI equipment in
their production environment. Additionally, the inclusion of a 3.5mm analog
stereo output lets the user monitor the audio using simple powered speakers
or headphones. Basic control is available via front panel buttons.
2. APPLICATIONS
• Display 12G-SDI video signals on standard 4K HDMI displays
• Broadcast SDI to consumer HDMI video signal conversion
• 12G-SDI signal extension via re-clocked loop output
3. PACKAGE CONTENTS
• 1× 12G-SDI to HDMI Converter
• 1× 5V/2.6A DC Power Adapter
• 1× Operation Manual
4. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
• SDI source equipment such as editing/recording decks, professional
cameras, or video broadcast equipment.
• HDMI receiving equipment such as HDTVs, monitors, or audio ampliers.
