Decimator MD-LX great little product

It worked as described and comparing to the other options like Atomos Connect ones the Decimator has dual input and output nice to monitor the signal. I already have the MD-HX model and works great so gave these a try and was pleased.

Simple, effective, just plain works…

The new decimator product is phenomenal. We just purchased three of these units and put them through the paces on a few events, and could not be any happier with the purchase. They just work.
