Decimator Design MD-HX HDMI/SDI Converter

Powerful HDMI and SDI Conversion for Pro AV Workflows

The Decimator Design MD-HX is a compact HDMI/SDI cross converter built to handle high-performance signal conversion without the need for a computer. It supports both HDMI and 3G-SDI inputs and outputs, giving professionals flexibility in broadcast, post-production, and live environments. This unit is ideal for converting HDMI to SDI, SDI to HDMI, or even scaling and frame rate conversion for seamless signal integration across different formats and systems.

Cross Conversion With Built-In Scaling and Frame Rate Adjustments

This hardware-based signal converter goes beyond basic format shifting. With integrated upscaling, downscaling, and frame rate conversion, it’s capable of tailoring the output signal to match the needs of downstream devices. Whether you’re integrating HDMI gear into an SDI workflow or working across different resolutions and frame rates, the MD-HX makes the translation process easy and reliable.

Fourteen Versatile Conversion Modes for Maximum Flexibility

The MD-HX offers fourteen selectable conversion modes, allowing multiple combinations of input/output routing between HDMI and SDI, including scenarios where input signals are scaled before being output. It even supports simultaneous conversion of different input types, giving you the freedom to tailor your workflow in the field or studio with minimal reconfiguration time.

Built-In LCD Screen and Button Interface for On-The-Fly Adjustments

Unlike many converters that require external software or DIP switches for configuration, the MD-HX features an integrated LCD info screen with dedicated buttons. This onboard control interface allows you to quickly select conversion modes, adjust scaling parameters, and monitor status without the need for a computer.

Durable Design With Redundant Output Options and Locking Power Connector

Built for demanding professional use, the MD-HX offers two pairs of 3G-SDI outputs and one HDMI output. It can also function as a 1-to-4 SDI distribution amplifier. The threaded locking power connector helps prevent accidental disconnection during use, making it well-suited for mobile rigs and critical setups.

Efficient Signal Handling With Minimal Latency

The device is engineered for low-latency video processing, maintaining synchronization across all outputs. It also supports audio remapping within HDMI and SDI outputs, providing further control for matching audio and video workflows.

Compact Form Factor for Broadcast and Field Applications

At just a few inches in size, the MD-HX fits comfortably in flypacks, control rooms, and camera rigs. Despite its small footprint, it delivers powerful conversion functionality usually reserved for larger, more expensive systems.
