Mini Converter SDI Distribution 4K Technical Specifications

Connections and Video Inputs

The Mini Converter SDI Distribution 4K supports one SDI video input, which is switchable between standard definition (SD), high definition (HD), and 6G-SDI formats. This versatility allows it to handle various video resolutions and formats seamlessly for professional broadcast and production environments.

Video Outputs and Reclocking
It features eight SDI video outputs that automatically match the input video format, ensuring consistent signal distribution without degradation. The device also includes reclocking functionality, which helps maintain signal quality over long cable runs by restoring timing and reducing jitter.

Multi-Rate Support and Auto Switching
The converter provides automatic detection of SD, HD, and 6G-SDI input signals. It can seamlessly switch between these formats without requiring manual intervention, simplifying workflow and increasing operational efficiency.

Supported Video Standards
This model supports an extensive range of video standards, including SD formats such as 525i59.94 NTSC and 625i50 PAL. It supports a comprehensive set of HD video standards including 720p (50, 59.94, 60 fps), various 1080i and 1080p formats including progressive segmented frames (PsF), as well as 2K DCI and Ultra HD standards up to 2160p30. Additionally, it supports 4K DCI standards at 23.98p, 24p, and 25p frame rates.

SDI Compliance and Video Rates
The Mini Converter complies with major SMPTE standards including SMPTE 259M, 292M, 296M, 372M, and ST-2081. It also supports ITU-R BT.656 and BT.601 standards. SDI video inputs are automatically detected across standard and high definition formats, supporting level A and level B 3G-SDI signals.

Video and Audio Sampling
It supports SDI video sampling at 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, delivering high-quality color precision. Audio sampling meets television standards with a sample rate of 48 kHz and 24-bit depth. The device supports both YUV and RGB color spaces for video signals.

Additional Features
The converter includes ASI (Asynchronous Serial Interface) support, which is useful for professional broadcast transport streams. It also offers automatic input detection and switching, simplifying user operation.

Power Requirements
The unit comes with a +12V universal power supply that includes international socket adapters for worldwide compatibility and features a cable tie point for secure installation. It operates within a voltage range of 12 to 31 volts DC and consumes approximately 4.80 watts of power.
