Bluefish444 Synapse HDMI120: HDMI to HD/SD-SDI Converter

HDMI 1.3 Input supports 8 channels of embedded audio and 8/10/12 bit acquisition.

A second HDMI input is provided for redundancy, providing a fail safe mechanism should the first HDMI input be lost. Independent stereo Analog and Digital audio inputs can be muxed together with HDMI and output and HD/SD-SDI with 2 channels of embedded audio in SDI.

Two HD/SD SDI outputs are provided. The second can be used as a backup in the event of redundancy, or, as downconverted simultaneous HD/SD SDI outputs for preview.

An on screen display utility provides status information about the configuration settings of the converter and an embedded pattern generator is available to calibrate 3rd party monitors.
