Combining SD, HD, and 3G test pattern generation with capabilities usually reserved for a computer controlled scaler/converter the DECIMATOR MD-Cross V2 Mini HDMI/SDI Converteris a small independent device that features the same proven cross converter found in DECIMATOR's larger MD-DUCC. The DD-Cross features both an HDMI and a 3G-SDI input, and can cross convert either signal to the other. It features a built-in scaler and frame rate converter as well, allowing you to convert the input signal to your required output standard.

The included test pattern generator of the MD-Cross supports 26 selectable output formats with 54 test patterns. It features one HDMI output, one loop through SDI output, and two pairs of 3G-SDI outputs, controllable via fourteen selectable conversion modes, providing you with a variety of modes to fit your needs. This converter does not require a computer or DIP switches to control as it incorporates a small LCD screen for menu functions, and four buttons for control. It comes with a power supply with locking power cable to prevent accidental power loss during use.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this take 3 sdi inputs and put hdmi 1 as multiview and hdmi 2-4 as crossover?

A: The Decimator MD-Cross V2 only has one 3G-SDI and one HDMI input. For outputs, the MD-Cross V2 has one HDMI, and three 3G-SDI outputs with one of the three being an Active-loop through.

Q: 2. Does this pass embedded audio?

A: It passes embedded audio.

Q: 3. Can convert 1080p to 1080i ?

A: Yes, you can convert from 1080p to 1080i with this unit.

Q: 4. Hello, I’m using (2) Sony FS7 cameras and would like to convert them from 23.98 PSF to 1080i. Would I need 2 units?

A: Yes, two individual DECIMATOR MD-Cross V2 Miniature HDMI/SDI Cross Converters would be required to handle more than one signal at a time. If it was one signal and you split the output, this would only require one.

Q: 5. Hi a a previous review said "This is a great scaler for broadcast and SMPTE purposes. Unfortunately it cannot scale a native computer resolution of 1920 x 1200 (16x10)" can some confirm this for me please? thanks

A: That is correct, the DECIMATOR MD-Cross V2 Miniature HDMI/SDI Cross Converter does not scale to a 1920 x 1200 resolution. The DECIMATOR 12G-CROSS 4K HDMI/SDI Cross Converter with Scaling and Frame Rate Conversion(BH #DE12GCROSS) should be able to scale to your desired 1920 x 1200 resolution. See: bhpho.to/3f3fKSV

Q: 6. can this unit do 2 simultaneous conversions? I need the sdi input to be a converted to a scaled hdmi output at the same time the hdmi input to be converted to a scaled sdi output? Two independent conversions.

A: That is not possible with a single unit. You would need two units for that.

Q: 7. What is the weight of the unit itself, without the cardboard box and packaging?

A: While the exact weight is not listed, the box it ships in weighs 0.73 pounds. We would imagine the unit will be only around a half pound or so.

Q: 8. Can this convert NTSC input to PAL output? Thanks!

A: Yes it can. This will allow you to convert an NTSC Frame Rate to a PAL Frame Rate.

Q: 9. Is it possible to connect an SDI-in and it simultaneously releases SDI -out and HDMI-out together?

A: Yes. Setting can be changed via usb control panel. According to manufacture you can connect an SDI-in and it simultaneously releases SDI -out and HDMI-out together with no control panel setting adjustments.

Q: 10. can it convert my HDMI 1080i signal to SDI 1080p Signal ?

A: Yes, this can convert HDMI in 1080i to SDI out 1080p.

[1.85 lb] I use these, AJA, and Blackmagic products. This falls right in the middle in terms of price but gives you a huge bang for your buck. I have several now and they are versatile and get the job done. 5

[1.85 lb] Swiss Army knife of video convertors - great to have in your toolbag to adapt different sources to different systems. 5

[1.85 lb] Great device, but very few tutoring video. Give people more video, they will understand more. Make our life easier. Make us happy! 5

[1.85 lb] We're using these converters in conjunction�with a Blackmagic�switcher. It allows�us to use a variety of different cameras including Go Pro and Sony non�sdi�cameras. as well as mix frame rate and size (1080 or 4k). A great alternative for low budgets. 5

Brian	28/07/2024
[1.85 lb] One of those items that just works as advertised, no muss no fuss. Plus it's small and light enough to stick on a camera with Velcro. 5

Glidergreg	25/07/2024
[1.85 lb] Best new scaling device for show techs since the Image-Pro. Scales both ways SDI/HDMI at the same time. Test pattern generator and LCD readouts for the input and output resolution make it a great tool for faxing out a system and testing lines. Set the ref to internal for stand alone TG use. Recommend using the PC app for config setup, it's just quicker than the built in menus. I discovered that this little decimator also fits like a glove in a Case Logic portable hard drive case. Great for storage and protection and even comes in red to match. B&H # CAQHDC101R No I do not work for them or B&H 5

[1.85 lb] Had challenges using another converter with video wall processors. This worked perfectly. 5

wayne	07/07/2024
[1.85 lb] I wanted two functions particularly:1) signal format display. Some devices require 59.94 timebase and all my other devices lump 59.94 and 60. This unit gives the actual value, and the readout is the first thing that shows in the display. The measurement is available even if both hdmi and sdi outputs are sending test pattern.2) standalone test generator. You have to change the tpg reference to free-run to make it generate its own test patterns. The default is to refer to sdi, as another reviewer found.The interface conversion with frame-rate adaptation is a really good value. If you don't need the test patterns get the MD-HX. 5

[1.85 lb] Carry it in my bag for practically every show. I've lost track of how many times it's saved the day. It's my go to piece of gear for all the trouble-shooting stuff; is there a signal? what kind? We need to send 720 to the (outdated) monitor while still sending 1080p to the projectors. Agh--the client's SDI DA died. The client accidentally ordered the SDI ATEM ISO Extreme rather than the HDMI and doesn't have enough convertors...and so on. 5
