For audio/video monitoring and display applications, this converts any SDI video signal (including 3G level A or B) into a standard HDMI signal. Input standard and format are detected automatically. The HDMI output displays the native input resolution. The module has 3D support and is suitable for monitoring single-link 3D SDI streams on a 3D HDMI monitor. This supports side by side, top and bottom, as well as frame-packing 3D HDMI display modes. Safe Area Markers have also been added.
Two channels of audio can be de-embedded from the incoming video signal to give balanced analogue and AES digital outputs; audio channels and full-scale level are selected by rotary switch. The balanced output may be used unbalanced. The two selected audio channels can be embedded into the HDMI output. Alternatively, eight channels may be selected from the input signal, either channels 1-8 or channels 9-16. The module can overlay data from the incoming video signal on the HDMI output. There are windows for time-code, four groups of four embedded audio channels, key metadata information as well as AFD code. There are BNC connectors for SDI in and out, AES audio out. Two 3-pole 6.35mm jacks provide analogue audio out. A type A connector provides the HDMI output. LEDs indicate video, audio and power are present. An optional fibre interface allows the module to be used for monitoring fibre connections and also function as a SDI to fibre converter. When a fibre transceiver option is fitted the module may be used with either an electrical SDI input or a fibre input signal, selected by a DIP switch. The module will provide both a fibre and electrical SDI output of the selected input signal as well as the HDMI output.

Included accessories: An HDMI cable and a pair of 6.35mm jack to RCA (phono) adapters are provided in addition to the standard inclusions.
Optional accessories: Fibre SFP receiver module, see below, to provide a fibre SDI input; transmitter to provide an output; transceiver module to provide an input and a re-clocked, fibre loop-output.
