From Decimator Design (previously RedByte) comes the new Decimator 2 down converter and the MD-DUCC down up cross converter, which both feature an HDMI output. The units auto detect the input, whether 3G, HD or SD (26 formats in total), and can handle switching of synchronous sources. They do simultaneous scaling on both HDMI and composite.
Both units feature: HDMI output with optional full scaling and aspect ratio conversion; down converted composite output; ARC (Aspect Ratio Conversion); full 10-bit data path and multipoint interpolation; full 16-channel audio metering displayed on the HDMI output; adjustable graticules generator displayed on the HDMI output with separate enables for safe action, safe title and centre cross; and text overlays displayed on the HDMI. In addition the above MD-DUCC offers true down-up cross conversion, allowing the conversion between any of the 26 supported formats.
Two other Decimator distribution tools are the low cost miniature MD-Quad (3G/HD/SD)-SDI 4 to 1 Quad Split or 4 to 1 input multiplexer and the MD-RDA 1 into 6 distribution amplifier. The MD-Quad is packed with features that include selectable output format in Quad-Split mode; linked (3G/HD/SD)-SDI and HDMI outputs and 8-channel audio metering for each quadrant.
All products come with power supply, HDMI cable, USB cable and mounting bracket.
