4K Video Converter

Description

Need to rent a video converter for use with professional equipment? Many video devices nowadays are equipped with an HDMI input or output. Very convenient for consumers, as it makes it easy to connect your laptop to a TV or projector, for example. However, this signal type is only suitable for ‘home use’.

For reliable quality and bridging long distances, HDMI is not suitable. This is also why professional equipment is equipped with SDI connections. Of course, the corresponding cabling must be used. This does allow video signals to be transported over longer distances. Still, it’s often the case that HDMI and SDI connections need to interface. For this, renting a video converter is the best solution.

What are the features of the video converter?

This Decimator 12G-Cross converter is truly the all-rounder in converting video signals. While other suppliers limit themselves to one-way traffic, this Decimator converter can convert HDMI signals to SDI, and vice versa. And that’s not all. This device can even do this simultaneously. You can also rent this video converter as an SDI splitter. Physically, this all-rounder has 1 HDMI input, 1 HDMI output, 1 (SD/HD/3G/6G/12G) SDI input, and 4 (SD/HD/3G/6G/12G) SDI outputs. Using the illuminated display and buttons, you can easily set how you want to use this 12G-Cross. No complicated dip switches or need to change settings. Ideal.

How does the video signal conversion work?

Do you need to connect a device with an HDMI output to equipment with only SDI inputs? Renting a video converter provides the solution. Also, for connecting a device with only an SDI output to equipment with an HDMI input, this converter is the answer. Moreover, this 12G-Cross can perform these two types of conversions simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate converters for each conversion. Efficient, isn’t it?

This converter can handle 351 input formats. Subsequently, 57 different output resolutions can be created from these. An impressive total of 20,007 conversions! This converter can implement changes in both resolution and frame rate. This is unique, as most converters only transform the signal type based on ‘in = out’. This Decimator makes it possible to specify which resolution the converter should output.

Can I rent this video converter and split the signal?

Particularly handy is the functionality to use this converter as an SDI splitter. After all, this converter already has 5 SDI connections. By using the converter as a distributor, you can split SDI signals into 4 lines (1:4). Ideal if you need to provide multiple screens with the same video signal over long distances.

What cabling do I need?

To prevent interference, we recommend using high-quality SDI cabling. It’s always risky to transport video over long distances. By using very high-quality cabling, you can eliminate this risk and enjoy interference-free images. If you don’t have the right cabling, you can of course rent it from us. So renting a video converter might not be the only thing you need.
