Supporting many common SD and HD, as well as Digital and Analog video standards, the DIGITAL FORECAST Bridge X_MC Multi-Converter SEO Titlecan be used to convert almost any source to an acceptable video format compatible with your workflow. Digital I/O include SDI and HDMI for video, and AES/EBU over BNC for audio. Analog I/O is comprised of VGA and composite over BNC for video (uses the same BNC connections for AES/EBU, switchable on the front panel), and 3.5mm stereo for audio. Audio can be embedded from the analog or digital inputs into the video stream or de-embedded from the video signals and output separately from the video stream. Progressive video sources can also be scan-converted for broadcast. All outputs on the converter are active, regardless of input source. This way, multiple video conversions can be made simultaneously, sending the proper signal to almost any kind of display, projector, or recorder.

Uses for the Bridge X_MC include broadcast studios as well as A/V installations handling multiple input source types. When installed, the RS-232 connection can be used for software control, permitting remote settings adjustments. OSD menu control is also available.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is it possible to customize the layout of the screen ? For example to have only the waveform or only the image ? And what are the dip switches for ?

A: It does not appear that the screen is customizeable for there is no mention of it in the literature. It would seem the dip switches are for the user selectable output formats. For more information please visit the manufacturer's website. http://bit.ly/2uuBCLt

Q: 2. The Watson NP-F770 Lithium-Ion Battery Pack is recommended for this item. Do I need to buy also the battery charger separately?

A: You will need to purchase a charger as well for the NP-F770 battery. We have a kit which includes the NP-F770 and a charger, BH #WANPF770CK. https://bhpho.to/2kuUtjl

Q: 3. Can you monitor individual audio channels through the headphone jack, or just 1/2?

A: Manufacturer only specifies level monitoring for multiple channels. Audio monitoring may not be available beyond channels 1/2 from the earphone output.

Q: 4. The manual doesn't have any info on the audio outputs, I assume they are Balance and Line level?

A: Yes, the audio inputs of the DIGITAL FORECAST X-MC Mini Cross Converter are balanced and line level.

Q: 5. Is there a reset for this unit?

A: Nope.

Q: 6. does this output 3G Level A or Level B?

A: the SDI is Level A

Q: 7. Does the test signal generator supply embedded audio options as well? 1k tone, pink noise, etc..?

A: 1k tone across all 8 channels. I do wish it had the option for a vocal channel ID across all channels....

Q: 8. Does it support an output embedded audio? Do the power supply and the battery charger work on 240v /50hz ? Can the Np-f6600mah battery replaced by np-f2200mah for the related device?

A: It does supported embedded audio through SDI. This is a multi-voltage system that ships with a Universal Power Supply with International Plug Adapters. However a Sony NP-F style battery plate is optional, it is not included. B&H # DINBPSL is the NP-F style battery plate, once you have this you will be able to use any NP-F style battery. https://bhpho.to/2vtDENF

[7.3 x 5.2 x 3"] I've had my monitor approx 2 1/2 years and the SDI Input stopped working. DF were fantastic, my unit was out of warranty & I'd modified the power supply but they were happy to repair it at no cost at all (bar shipping). The repair should've been $53 but they waved it due to the pandemic. I can't recommend them enough, service & updates were brilliant. I work in OB's & I'd be lost without it. This unit get worked hard & is incredible value for money. You won't see the Eye option on anything else in the market apart from a Phabrix which 4 times the price.
Buy one, it's a no brainer.

[12 VDC] I've been using to help me as a tool to check signal and generate signal we use to adjust POV, check converts send and receive the signal very smart tool, one thing that we need to do is all time that you need to receive or send you need to go at the configuration and switch for what you need. The tool is really really good and the cost x benefit is amazing!!!

[10 W] If youre looking for a good portable monitor that wont break the bank, this is for you. As a video engineer, Im always running 1-200 HDSDI cables and troubleshooting HDMI runs and other video needs. I was slightly hesitant in purchasing this since getting any information on it was practically impossible, but Im glad I went through with it. As far as resolutions, I have seen 1080p 29.97/59.94/60 and 1080i 29.97. It pretty much does everything that I need it to do for testing on my day to day in the field, especially when it is paired with the battery pack adapter (sold seperately). I opted for the one for the Canon, but you can get a Sony adapter as well. Other than the bottom right screw hole on the adapter hitting the fan guard, it fit perfectly (I just removed it from the adapter and added locktight on the remaining three).
As far as scopes go, I wasnt too pleased, but its not intended for that kind of work, so I cant really dog it. It also has a 3.5mm headphone jack so you can monitor any audio coming down the pipe, or in a pinch, you can use it as a audio de-embedder for HDSDI or HDMI (been there and it worked in a pinch).
The test patterns are solid and good to have built in, the touch screen is responsive and the fact that you can activly convert HDMI HDSDI and vise versa is another win.
Overall I am completely happy with this product and if you are on the fence about purchasing it, just do it, the return policy from B&H is hassle-free, but I doubt you will need it.

[10 W] Just a quick update on my unit.  Its been a great addition to my kit, and Im sure Ive convinced a handful of associates to pick one up.

I recently had an issue with intermittent hd-sdi input, where the unit would reboot itself.  The distributor was quick to answer my inquiry and turned around the repair within a week.

I was a little concerned because Digital Forecasts website is pretty bare when it comes to customer service - but B&H connected me with KameraTools - the US distributor and Heesung looked after me quickly!

Two thumbs up.

Just wished there was a silicone bumper/case for the unit.  I may try some baby coffee table silicone bumpers...

[0.5 lb / 210 g] Digital Forecast Bridge X_TS V3 unit works very good. I had a slight issue of getting color bars (test signal) onto the HDMI output port. I contacted kameratools.com spoke to Technical Support and the issue was resolve successfully over on the phone in 2 minutes. it was just a menu setting issue. Now the unit can feed color bars to HDMI out connector.

[10 W] I found out this converter very useful, it support not only Cross/Up/Down converter, but also Analog to Digital converter since they have a video composite input.


However, there is no Composite output, which means there is no Digital to Analog converting.


I saw the other review that someone think it's also support D to A, but not at all.

[1.6 lb] The Trouble Shooter is a great asset. It is hard to find another unit that offers the same functionality and such a cool design. I debated purchasing the Neo instead but as I was researching portable monitors while on the job site, the client requested an analogue feed to be added to the press box. That’s what sold me on the Trouble Shooter vs the Neo, plus the built-in embedded. The jitter scope is my new favorite instrument and I have yet to find another portable monitor that offers the same, other than the Neo.

However, I wish there was a case or silicone bumpers that could be added to the unit. I love it so much, I want it to last! And, potentially, a wrist strap. As a technician sending signals to various destinations, there is a lot of walking and lift operation involved with the job and any sort of development in portability would make a great difference.

Either way, A+ awesome device.
