Decimator MD-DUCC Down Up Cross Converter

The Decimator MD-DUCC converts a 3G, HD, or SD-SDI input down, up, or across to the format you select. It outputs SDI, HDMI, and analog video, with de-embedded audio on two RCA connectors.

It automatically detects 26 formats in 3G, HD, and SD. Conversion uses a full 10-bit data path, multipoint interpolation, and motion-adaptive de-interlacing.

Aspect ratio conversion covers 16:9, 14:9, and 4:3, set separately for HD to HD, HD to SD, SD to HD, and SD to SD. It supports 3G level A and B on input and output.

Two 10-bit SDI outputs carry the input’s audio, delayed automatically and passed through, and an active loop-through output passes the input on. The analog video output can carry three CVBS signals, YPbPr, RGB, or CVBS with Y/C.

The RCA connectors output de-embedded audio as AES or analog, with an adjustable analog level. Each of the four stereo pairs on the HDMI output can come from any of the eight pairs in the SDI input.

Overlays include 16-channel audio metering with AES, VU, BBC, EBU, DIN, and Nordic scales. Graticules mark safe action, safe title, and center cross, and 16-character text shows the input format status. A GPI on RJ-45 drives tallies.

Status LEDs and buttons on the unit handle basic setup, and USB gives full control and firmware updates. The DC power socket locks.
