About this item

When needing to send the same signal to several devices at once, OpenGear Converter SDI Distribution handles the task perfectly. Supports SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 2K and 3Gb/s SDI video formats. OpenGear Converter SDI Distribution also handles ASI. What's more, it's compatible with ancillary data and embedded audio.

Key Features

  • Open Architecture Converters! Blackmagic OpenGear Converters are fully compatible with the OpenGear standard. OpenGear is an open standard for rack mount converters and processing for television broadcasters
  • High Quality: Blackmagic OpenGear Converters are built to the highest quality standards with low SDI jitter. You get the longest SDI cable lengths combined with ultra low noise analog video and audio for a true broadcast quality solution
  • New 3 Gb/s SDI Technology: The latest 3 Gb/s SDI technology built into Blackmagic OpenGear Converters and new standards can be uploaded via the USB port. 3 Gb/s SDI is also fully compatible with all your SD and HD equipment
  • Auto Switching SD and HD: Blackmagic OpenGear Converters instantly switch between all SD and HD video formats the instant the video input changes. A huge range of standards are supported and new formats can be added via USB

  • Built in AES/EBU or Analog Audio: Blackmagic OpenGear Converters feature 24 bit analog and 24 bit digital audio. You can select either analog or AES/EBU digital audio via mini switches, or remotely via the DashBoard network control software
  • Hardware Down Converter: If you have older standard definition analog equipment in your facility then you'll know how hard it is when modern SDI equipment unexpectedly changes between SD and HD
  • Easy to Use: Blackmagic OpenGear Converters are similar, so they're easy to understand. With advanced 3 Gb/s SDI technology, every card is fully compatible with all your SD and HD equipment, plus you can update new formats via USB
