1. 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.
2. 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
3. PACKAGE CONTENTS
1× HDMI to 12G-SDI Converter
1× 5V/2.6A DC Power Adapter
1× Operation Manual
4. 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.
2
5. 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.
1 HDMI video input & 1 analogue stereo audio input
3 mirrored outputs (2×12G-SDI, 1×HDMI)
Supports up to 4K UHD+(18Gbps, 4K@50/60Hz 4:4:4, 8-bit) digital
video input.
SDI output supports the following SMPTE standards: ST 292-1 Level A,
ST 425-1, ST 2081-10, ST 2082-10
SDI signal extension distance varies based on signal type: 80 meters
(12G-SDI), 100 meters (6G-SDI) 200 meters (3G-SDI), or 260 meters (HD-
SDI)
4K sources can be optionally downscaled to 1080p when output over
the HDMI output to support lower cost local monitoring options
Supports pass-through of LPCM audio (up to 8 channels) from the
HDMI input, or 2 channels from the analogue audio input
Controllable via front panel controls
