Synchronous operation

Re-sync to a Blackburst or Tri-Sync reference signal.

Computers to SDI projectors

The converter is also ideal for connecting HDMI computers to SDI projectors: 640 × 480, 800 × 600 and 1024 × 768 resolutions on the HDMI input are scaled to the broadcast format you choose, from 525i59.94 and 625i50 up to 1080p60.

Reference, re-sync and audio delay

The reference input accepts Blackburst and Tri-Sync for SD and HD, so the output can be locked to the rest of the studio. Automatic audio delay keeps sound in sync with the picture, and the converter also carries timecode and closed captioning.

Setup with mini switches

The output format and other functions are selected with mini switches using the diagram printed on the converter. New software is installed over USB from a macOS or Windows computer.
