Decimator DECIMATOR 2: 3G/HD/SD-SDI to HDMI with De-Embedded Analogue Audio

Decimator DECIMATOR 2: 3G/HD/SD-SDI to HDMI with De-Embedded Analogue Audio

The DECIMATOR 2: 3G/HD/SD-SDI to HDMI with De-Embedded Analogue Audio is capable of delivering more than just a basic SDI to HDMI converter, it is professionally designed of providing you with a host of features in a small package that comes suitable for location or a studio environment. The device is capable of auto detecting the incoming signal, and is capable of handling the signal switching based on the DIP switch settings you select. The converter is made for maintaining a 10-bit data path for your video signal, which is minimizing the scaling artifacts. It comes incorporating one SDI input that is capable of supporting signals up to3G-SDI, and is featuring a loop through SDI output, HDMI output for the converted signal, and a composite out that automatically scales HD signals capable to deliver either NTSC or PAL video.

The unit passes closed captioning signals on the composite output, a useful feature designed intended for a broadcast facility. The HDMI output is capable to display selectable frame markers or "Graticules" as well as up to 16 channels of audio meters. The unit also made capable to de-embeds the audio from the SDI stream, and is making it available as 2 channels of analog audio. External DIP switches are capable of giving you the capability of selecting how the unit is capable of handling the conversion to HDMI and SD video from SDI, and which stereo pair is available on the analog audio outputs. The converter comes featuring a locking DC power socket and a mounting bracket giving you the capability of attaching it to a wall or possibly the back of a monitor.
