Decimator MD-HX HDMI/SDI Cross Converter

The go-to HDMI/SDI converter for broadcast and live events. The MD-HX 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 — the same down/up/cross converter found in Decimator’s larger MD-DUCC. Four SDI outputs let it double as a 1-to-4 distribution amplifier. Used to feed HDMI cameras and laptops into SDI switchers, and SDI signals into HDMI monitors, projectors and LED processors, in OB setups, events and studios across Portugal. Need test patterns and tone for line-up? Go for the Decimator MD-CROSS. For 4K and 12G-SDI signals, the Decimator 12G-CROSS.
