Decimator MD-HX

Description

HDMI/SDI Cross Converter with Scaling and Frame Rate Conversion

Product Overview

The MD-HX represents a breakthrough in video signal conversion technology, offering unprecedented flexibility and ease of use for professionals who need reliable signal management in dynamic broadcasting or production environments. Unlike previous generations of converters that required complex computer interfaces or frustrating hardware configurations, the MD-HX integrates an intuitive LCD and button control system that democratizes access to advanced signal processing features. At its core, the converter leverages the same sophisticated Down Up Cross Converter technology found in the award-winning MD-DUCC, enabling users to easily scale and transform video signals between different standards with remarkable precision. Its impressive four (3G/HD/SD)-SDI outputs effectively transform the device into a powerful distribution amplifier, while providing audio signal routing flexibility that allows users to customize output configurations to match their specific technical requirements. By eliminating the need for external computers and simplifying complex signal management tasks, the MD-HX allows video professionals to adapt and respond to rapidly changing production environments quickly and reliably.
