Introduction
Many new High Definition camcorders and devices provide HDMI as the
only High Definition output option. Datavideo’s DAC-9P allows users to
connect HDMI devices to professional SDI equipment, like video
switchers or recorders up to 200 meters away.
HDMI is not suitable for long cable runs, but using a Datavideo DAC-9P,
users can convert HDMI to High Definition & Standard Definition SDI and
take advantage of the high quality and affordable connectivity that SDI
cables offer.
The DAC-9P even embeds the audio from HDMI into the SDI signal so
only one SDI cable is needed.
