Questions about this item

What SDI standards does the CONVMSDIDA4K comply with and what video rates do they cap?

It complies with SMPTE 259M, 292M, 296M, 372M and 425M, and its SDI connections switch between 6G-SDI, HD-SDI and SD-SDI.

What physical mounting or clearance does the Mini Converter SDI Distribution 4K require?

The ultra-compact unit needs only a flat surface; a cable tie point on the 12 V supply secures the power lead.

How is the converter installed and which step do users often miss?

Connect the SDI source to the single input, link up to eight devices to the outputs, attach the 12 V universal supply with the correct adapter, then power on — the unit auto-detects the signal format.
