The Vaddio YPbPr to DVI-D/HDMI - PRO
Format Converter is simple, robust, transparent
and professional in every regard. In a perfect
world, every analog component to digital video
format converter would work exactly the same,
producing equal quality video at the output as
from the input. Well…the world is not exactly
perfect when it comes to the mass production of
electronics with the often single minded goal of
producing the cheapest product for the mass
market.
The PRO Format Converter is a professional
quality format converter (as the name suggests),
is not a scaler and will not fight either the video
source or display devices. In fact, one of the
best things about the PRO Format Converter is
that it doesn’t add another scaler to a system
that may have several scalers already in the
signal path.
The Converter uses only the best possible components, parts and metals to ensure the quality of the video
image out is as good as the video image in. It contains a 225 MHz HDMI v1.3 and (DVI-D v1.0 compliant)
transmitter and incorporates Deep Color and x.v.Color™ easily supporting resolutions up to and including
1080p/60 with 10-bit color.
The 1/3-rack size YPbPr to DVI-D/HDMI - PRO Format Converter was designed and built from the ground up at
Vaddio, in the USA. So, when professional quality format conversion for an analog to digital video application is
required, whether it be from a camera, a video switcher/console or any other analog video source, the YPbPr to
DVI-D/HDMI PRO Format Converter is a remarkable choice for a wide range of applications.

Hardware* Warranty: One year limited warranty on all parts. Vaddio warrants this product against defects in
materials and workmanship for a period of one year from the day of purchase from Vaddio. If Vaddio receives notice of such
defects during the warranty period, they will, at their option, repair or replace products that prove to be defective.
Exclusions: The above warranty shall not apply to defects resulting from: improper or inadequate maintenance by the
customer, customer applied software or interfacing, unauthorized modifications or misuse, operation outside the normal
environmental specifications for the product, use of the incorrect power supply, improper extension of the power supply cable
or improper site operation and maintenance.
Vaddio Customer Service: Vaddio will test, repair, or replace the product or products without charge if the unit is under
warranty and is found to be defective. If the product is out of warranty, Vaddio will test then repair the product or products.
The cost of parts and labor charge will be estimated by a technician and confirmed by the customer prior to repair. All
components must be returned for testing as a complete unit. Vaddio will not accept responsibility for shipment after it has left
the premises.
Vaddio Technical Support: Vaddio technicians will determine and discuss with the customer the criteria for repair costs
and/or replacement. Vaddio Technical Support can be contacted through one of the following resources: e-mail support at
[email protected] or online at www.vaddio.com.
Return Material Authorization (RMA) Number: Before returning a product for repair or replacement, request an RMA from
Vaddio’s technical support. Provide a technician with a return phone number, e-mail address, shipping address, and product
serial numbers and describe the reason for repairs or returns as well as the date of purchase and proof of purchase. Include
your assigned RMA number in all correspondence with Vaddio. Write your assigned RMA number on the outside of the box
when returning the product. All returns are subject to a restocking fee (see warranty policies at vaddio.com).
Voided Warranty: The warranty does not apply if the original serial number has been removed or if the product has been
disassembled or damaged through misuse, accident, modifications, or unauthorized repair. Cutting the power supply cable
on the secondary side (low voltage side) to extend the power to the device (camera or controller) voids the warranty for that
device.
Shipping and Handling: Vaddio will not pay for inbound shipping transportation or insurance charges or accept any
responsibility for laws and ordinances from inbound transit. Vaddio will pay for outbound shipping, transportation, and
insurance charges for all items under warranty but will not assume responsibility for loss and/or damage by the outbound
freight carrier.
If the return shipment appears damaged, retain the original boxes and packing material for inspection by the carrier. Contact
your carrier immediately.
Products Not Under Warranty: Payment arrangements are required before outbound shipment for all out of warranty
products.
