HDMI to Dual SDI Conversion

The SMUGDESK converter takes a single HDMI 1.3 input and produces two synchronized SDI outputs. Audio is embedded into both SDI streams so video and sound stay locked together. It supports SD-SDI, HD-SDI and 3G-SDI formats up to 1080P resolution. A dedicated power adapter is included for stable long-term operation.

Suited For Broadcast And Surveillance

This unit fits camera rigs, CCTV monitoring and live production workflows that need one HDMI source fed to two SDI destinations simultaneously. It is not intended for buyers who require HDMI output, more than two SDI feeds or resolutions beyond 1080P. Setups without a nearby power outlet should also look elsewhere since external power is mandatory.

Dual SDI Outputs From One HDMI Source

The defining specification is the 1-to-2 SDI split with embedded audio at up to 1080P over 3G-SDI. If your installation needs exactly two SDI feeds from a single HDMI 1.3 camera or recorder, this converter matches that requirement. If you need a different output count or higher resolution, another device is required.

Questions about this item

What power supply comes with the converter for stable operation?

A dedicated power adapter is included in the box to ensure reliable, long-term performance for the unit.

How do I connect the HDMI source and the two SDI displays or recorders?

Plug the HDMI 1.3 source into the single input, then run SDI cables from each of the two outputs to your monitors or recorders; the audio embedder synchronises sound automatically.

Will the embedded audio stay in sync if I swap SDI cables during a live production?

The built-in audio embedder locks sound to the video stream, so synchronisation is maintained across both SDI outputs even when cables are changed.
