About the Signal Processing & Distribution range

Choose the unit by checking the connector type, signal direction and supported format. HDMI to SDI and SDI to HDMI converters are not always interchangeable, while bidirectional models can handle both workflows. Check the maximum SDI rate, resolution and frame rate, such as 3G, 6G or 12G SDI, 1080p or Ultra HD. For distribution, confirm the number of outputs and whether the device reclocks or buffers the signal. Timecode buyers should compare supported frame rates, connector types, wireless control and battery operation.

Check every device against the rest of your system before ordering. HDMI and SDI may use different cable requirements, and a converter does not automatically upscale, downscale or change frame rates unless its specifications state that it does. Confirm whether your camera, recorder or switcher uses embedded or external timecode, and whether it accepts the required connector. This range is organised into Signal Converters, Time Code Generators & Readers, Video Routers, and Switchers & DA's, with Signal Processing & Distribution products grouped alongside them.

Signal Processing & Distribution questions

What is the difference between HDMI and SDI converters?

An HDMI to SDI converter sends an HDMI source into SDI equipment, while an SDI to HDMI converter sends an SDI source to an HDMI display or recorder. Bidirectional models support both directions. Confirm the supported resolution, frame rate and SDI speed before buying.

Do I need a 3G, 6G or 12G SDI converter?

Choose the SDI rate that matches your video format and equipment. 3G SDI commonly covers HD workflows, while 6G and 12G support higher data rates and some Ultra HD formats. Check the complete signal path, because every connected device must support the required format.

How many timecode generators do I need for a multicamera shoot?

You generally need one synchronised timecode device for each camera or recorder that must receive timecode. A two-unit set can suit a camera and audio recorder, while a three-pack can support a small multicamera setup. Check each device's connections and supported frame rates.
