AVMatrix SC2031 HDMI / AV to 3G-SDI Scaling Converter

AVMatrix SC2031: HDMI/AV to 3G-SDI Scaling Converter for a Clean Signal Chain

The AVMatrix SC2031 is a hdmi/av to 3g-sdi scaling converter that takes hdmi, av (cvbs), aes/ebu and analog audio input and delivers three 3g-sdi outputs plus aes/ebu and analog audio at up to 1080p60. It auto-detects the incoming signal and converts it without menus or setup, powered over micro-usb 5v / dc in a compact metal body. Three buffered 3G-SDI outputs plus embedded and analog audio, with up and down scaling, feed several SDI destinations at once. For bridging mismatched gear in a signal chain, it is the small box that makes everything connect.

What a Format Converter Does

Different video devices speak different signal formats, SDI on broadcast gear, HDMI on displays and computers, and analog on legacy equipment, and a converter translates one to another so they interoperate. The SC2031 performs this hdmi/av to 3g-sdi scaling converter translation, auto-detecting the input standard and presenting a correct output on the far side. It also scales resolution and frame rate as needed so source and destination match. Because the conversion is automatic, an operator just connects and works. That is what keeps a mixed-format rig running without manual reconfiguration.

Connections and Signal Integrity

Input accepts hdmi, av (cvbs), aes/ebu and analog audio input, and the unit outputs three 3g-sdi outputs plus aes/ebu and analog audio. Three buffered 3G-SDI outputs plus embedded and analog audio, with up and down scaling, feed several SDI destinations at once. Handling the signal cleanly, with correct format and, where supported, scaling, keeps the picture stable end to end. In a live rig, that reliability is exactly what a converter is bought to provide.

Power and Build

The SC2031 powers from a single micro-usb 5v / dc connection, so a laptop port, USB adapter or DC supply keeps it running. Its compact metal chassis mounts on a camera, in a rack tray or inside a flypack. Low power draw and a small footprint make it easy to deploy anywhere in the chain. It is built to install once and be forgotten.

Who the SC2031 Is For

This converter suits bringing HDMI computers, cameras and composite sources into an SDI chain and driving up to three SDI destinations. It fits broadcast, live event, install and field workflows that need dependable signal translation. If your setup has a format mismatch between hdmi and three 3g-sdi outputs plus aes/ebu and analog audio, the SC2031 bridges it.
