Multi-Rate 10 bit HD/SD SDI to Analog Video Encoder

• Supports HD and SD-SDI signals to Component Video
• 10 Bit Processing Digital to Analog Conversion
• Outputs Component, RGB , Y/C and Composite Video

The HD10DAC is a Multi-Rate HD/SD-SDI to HD Component Analog Video Encoder. The HD10DCA also provides two re-clocked Multi-Rate SDI outputs acting as a distribution amplifier and 3 BNC connectors for analog video output.

The HD10DAC is a broadcast quality converter designed to demanding quality specifications utilizing the finest components available yet offered at a low cost. The HD10DAC is designed using the most advanced technology available to produce truly studio quality video.
The HD10DAC accepts 10 bit SDI (SMPTE 292M and 259M-C) 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 video supporting NTSC/PAL video standards by automatically detecting the resolution and format of the SDI stream and outputs full bandwidth HD Component or YPbPr, Betacam, SMPTE, RGB, Y/C or Composite video for SD-SDI input streams according to user selection.

The HD10DAC includes an LED indicating the presence of a locked SDI signal. The HD10DAC provides automatic cable equalization for SMPTE 292M and 259M SDI signal providing Multi-standard operation from 143Mb/sec to 1.485 Gb/sec. Equalizer performance is optimized for 270 Mb/sec and 1.485 Gb/sec. with excellent return loss (>15dB). The deserializer converts 525 or 625 SDI (SMPTE 292M and 259M-C) with EDH (Error detection and handling), NRZI-to-NRZ decoding and descrambling.
