Decimator MD-HX HDMI and SDI Cross Converter with Scaling & Frame Rate Conversion

Read the instructions. Setup took a bit of figuring out.

I love this thing. Its the signal distribution version of gaff tape, fixes just about anything with enough creative engineering. One box that can function as an SDI to HDMI/DVI convertor, a HDMI/DVI to SDI Convertor, a Scaler, or an SDI DA and unlike a lot of competing products there are no dip switches or jumpers to screw with. Everything is easily accessible through the on board menu system or the USB control panel via an attached computer. Plus its a lot less expensive than any one of the three AJA boxes this can replace let alone the cost of all them. Ive had this thing running in the ballpark of a thousand hours on site now and Ive had zero issues with it.

Quality build product, solid performance, easy to configure, and it stands out with its Red color profile. Low latency scaler allows you to flip horizontally and vertically incoming HDMI and SDI sources. macOS client connects directly to USB interface to configure a plethora of scaler matrix settings for your AV needs. Don’t bother looking for alternative solution, this “Down Under” engineering team understands customer requirements and how to build great products. Simple documentation, a bit pricey, however, worth the investment. This should be in your AV tool bag!

I ended up using this in a large teleprompter install to correct for a monitor being reflected on a mirror. My client couldnt get used to linux (Which can flip an output video signal natively in the OS), so I switched the machine to windows and used this to horizontally mirror the video output to the monitor. Expensive fix, but it worked like a champ. The included instructions were pretty lean, but after a lot of tinkering I got it to work in my use case. On the plus side, it saves all its internal settings, even when power is removed, so its a nice set it and forget it tool for me.

These are great. We have bought at least 6 and we keep finding uses for them.
