SDI Distribution Mini Converter

The Blackmagic Design CONVMSDIDA is a compact 3G-SDI distribution amplifier that takes a single SD, HD or 3G-SDI input and provides eight re-clocked outputs. It auto-detects the incoming video standard and matches all outputs to that signal. The unit supports 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 sampling in both YUV and RGB colour spaces with embedded audio and ancillary data. A universal 12 V power supply with international adapters is included.

Broadcast and live-production workflows

This converter suits engineers who need to send one SDI source to multiple monitors, recorders or switchers simultaneously with fully re-clocked signals. It handles SD, HD and 3G-SDI formats including NTSC, PAL, 720p and 1080i/p standards up to 1080p60. Buyers requiring fibre connectivity, 12G-SDI bandwidth, IP video transport or more than eight outputs should consider other solutions.

Eight re-clocked SDI outputs

The decisive specification is the eight automatically matched, re-clocked SDI outputs driven from a single multi-rate input. This determines whether the unit can distribute your source to every destination in the chain without signal degradation or format mismatch.
