RGBlink MSP 405 Pro

The RGBlink MSP 405 Pro is the installation rack version of the MSP 405 converter: a 1U chassis holds up to four converter modules and the power supply is ready for redundancy. Each module converts bidirectionally between 12G-SDI, HDMI 2.0 and fiber, including format and frame rate conversion up to 2160p60, and embeds or de-embeds audio.

The Pro is made for a rack in a control room or equipment room where several conversions are needed at once. The conversion functions are the same as on the small MSP 405.

Conversion between SDI, HDMI and fiber

Any of the three inputs – 12G-SDI, HDMI 2.0 or fiber – is converted to both other outputs without quality loss and with automatic format adaptation. Over fiber the converter carries the signal up to 50 km on single-mode and up to 700 m on multi-mode fiber. These are functions of the MSP 405 converter module, available in every module of the system.

Format and frame rate conversion

During conversion it can scale resolution up or down and change the frame rate, so it links devices working to different standards. It handles 2160p and 1080p at 25 to 60 fps, 1080i and 720p at 50 to 60.

Four modules in 1U

On the rear panel each of the four modules has a fiber port, a BNC connector for SDI, HDMI input and output, a mode switch and a LAN port. On the right are two power inlets for redundant power, and the front panel has two power switches.
