Decimator MD-CROSS V2 HDMI/SDI Cross Converter
The Decimator MD-CROSS V2 is an HDMI/SDI converter that works both ways at once, HDMI to SDI and SDI to HDMI, with a built-in scaler for down, up, cross, and frame rate conversion.
Each input can go to its own output, one input can feed both outputs, and either the HDMI or the SDI input can pass through the scaler on its way out.
Four 3G/HD/SD-SDI outputs let it work as a 1 to 4 distribution amplifier. By default, output pair 1 carries an active loop copy of the SDI input, and it can instead match pair 2.
It supports 3G level A and B on input and output and converts between them. The scaler can also flip the image horizontally, vertically, or both.
A built-in test pattern generator offers 54 test patterns, including luma and chroma zone plates, and an audio tone generator can feed the SDI and HDMI outputs.
Overlays cover 16-channel audio meters, adjustable safe title and safe action markers with a center cross, and text. Settings are made on the unit with its LCD and buttons, or over USB, which also handles firmware updates.
The DC power socket has a metal locking thread. Decimator Design covers the MD-CROSS V2 with a 36-month warranty.
