Decimator MD-CROSS HDMI/SDI Cross Converter

A pocket-size converter with a built-in test signal generator. The MD-CROSS converts between HDMI and 3G/HD/SD-SDI in both directions at the same time, with a broadcast-grade scaler and frame rate conversion on either path. On top of everything the Decimator MD-HX does, it adds a test pattern generator and an audio tone generator, so you can line up monitors, projectors, LED processors and recorders before the source is live. Used in OB setups, event video control, studio installs and camera-to-monitor chains across Portugal. For 4K and 12G-SDI signals, go for the Decimator 12G-CROSS.
