DIGITAL FORECAST

Digital Forecast

Digital Forecast has been manufacturing and supplying broadcast equipment to America, Europe, and Asian markets for more than two decades. Major broadcast stations, government agencies, and AV facilities worldwide use Digital Forecast products. They create broadcast-quality AV and test products like SDI Video Converters, analyzers, and Video Test Pattern Generators. They are widely known for their multi-format converters, which easily handle 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI 2.0, VGA, DVI, and fiber-optic interfaces.

Video Test Monitors
Digital Forecast builds Video Test Monitors designed for hands-on, real-time monitoring of multiple feeds and the immediate detection of problems. Digital Forecast products help you correct out-of-sync audio, video glitches, and color inaccuracy on the fly before they impact a live event, broadcast, or presentation. Monitors like the Bridge X-TS Mini, A.K.A. the "Troubleshooter," are unique and portable signal converters that can measure signal integrity and audio levels and include a test pattern generator. Digital Forecast products give you the ability to adjust eye and jitter and utilize up-down cross and scan conversion to interface signals from composite video, SD, VGA, and HDMI through to 3G-SDI. These monitors are an effective tool when used in the installation, maintenance, and service of pro A/V studio equipment, that's very handy and powerful technology!

SDI and HD-SDI Over Fiber
Fiber Optics has revolutionized broadcast and data transfer. Old-school copper cable can't reliably transmit modern digital signals over long distances. Digital Forecast creates converters that take common signals like SDI (Serial Digital Interface) and HD-SDI (High Definition Serial Digital Interface) and convert them into light pulses, which travel through fiber-optic cables with substantially less signal loss and greater protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Digital Forecast SDI & HD-SDI Over Fiber Extenders like the UHD OLINK 4TRX 3G 0.5RU 8-Channel 3G to an ST Duplex Singlemode Fiber Transceiver Converter with Loop Out allow for high-speed, high-quality signal transmission over extended ranges.

HDMI Conversion
When technicians need to interface HDMI sources like computers, cameras, or gaming consoles into a professional broadcast scenario, Digital Forecast HDMI converters "bridge that gap". Their products cover HDMI over Fiber Extenders, HDMI Converters, and more. The Digital Forecast M-SH with its built-in scaler converts 12G-SDI to HDMI 2.0, easily connecting broadcast equipment to commercial digital signage displays. It perfectly fits into SDI (Serial Digital Interface) based workflows by seamlessly transmitting video and audio signals over longer distances, with improved signal stability.
