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 analogue 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
ampliers.

5. FEATURES
HDMI 2.0 and DVI 1.0 compliant
1 SDI video input
3 mirrored outputs (2×HDMI, 1×12G-SDI) & 1 analogue stereo audio
output
Supports up to 4K UHD (12Gbps, 4K@50/60Hz 4:2:2, 8-bit) digital video
input
SDI input supports the following SMPTE standards: ST 292-1 Level A, ST
425-1, ST 2081-10, ST 2082-10
Looped SDI output is re-clocked
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 outputs to support lower cost local monitoring options
Supports pass-through of LPCM audio (up to 8 channels)
Controllable via front panel controls

update mode.
Firmware Update Process: To update rmware after pressing the
button, connect the unit to a PC/laptop via the Micro-USB Service
port and the unit will appear as an external drive. Drag an appropriate
rmware le onto this drive and the unit will automatically begin
the update process. After the update completes, the unit will
automatically reboot.
7SCALE Button: Press this button to enable or disable the HDMI
outputs’4K to 1080p downscaling function.
Note: 3840x2160 will be downscaled to 1920x1080. 4096x2160 will be
downscaled to 2048x1080.
