SHD-450

Overview

The VIZOBOX SHD-450 is a compact, pure-hardware converter that displays SD-SDI, HD-SDI and 3G-SDI signals on HDMI monitors at bit rates up to 2.97 Gbit/s. It supports Full HD 1080p (3G-SDI) with backward compatibility down to 1080i/720p (HD-SDI) and 576i/480p (SD-SDI), detects input standard and format automatically, and embeds eight channels of 48 kHz digital audio. Low SDI jitter, re-clocking and a broadcast-grade circuit design allow long cable runs without loss of video quality, while the wide 5–12 V DC supply range makes it suitable for continuous 24/7 operation.
