SDI Video Converters

SDI Video Converters

In 1989, the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers standardized video transmission, creating SMPTE259M or SD-SDI for broadcast and studio. The challenge then became to interface with or convert the numerous formats and digitize the uncompressed digital video. By the late 1990s, HD-SDI was standardized to support 720p and eventually 1080i high-definition video. SDI remains a top choice for professional video transmission due to its stability and low latency. SDI Video Converters adjust resolutions and formats, creating compatibility, improving quality for display, and upscaling standard-definition SD video to HD. Markertek has scoured the industry and offers only the latest and greatest SDI Video Converters available!

SDI to HDMI
The Professional Serial Digital Interface is the modern successor to analog composite systems, offering greater detail and clarity. AJA Video creates mini-converters that interface 12G-SDI to HDMI 2.0 for 4K displays like production monitors or digital signage. Professional SDI video signals are converted to HDMI format for easier monitoring on consumer displays. LYNX Technik engineers versatile, compact 12G SDI to HDMI converters critical in broadcast, post-production, and Pro AV. Blackmagic Design builds bi-directional SDI Video micro converters small enough to fit anywhere but powerful enough to maintain broadcast standards!

Cross Conversion and Scaling
SDI can transmit signals up to 300 feet without loss, providing secure and stable connections. Conversion allows manipulation, such as scaling and up/down resolution adjustments, to integrate older analog signals into modern digital workflows. Datavideo offers broadcast quality VGA / HDMI / 3G/HD/SD Cross-Converters interfacing any SD or HD video format to any other SD or HD video format and back! The role of a Up/Down/Cross-Converter is to convert ANYTHING automatically; any standard can be scaled to any other for seamless integration. Decimator Design creates clever, miniature 3G/HD/SD-SDI / HDMI Cross Converters with scaling, frame rate conversion, and more! Cobalt Digital UHD Up/Down/Cross-Converters embed and de-embed Audio, they are the next generation of advanced scalers and frame synchronizers housed in an openGear design.
