This advanced converter, manufactured by the reputable FOR.A brand, is designed to seamlessly convert signals from a variety of sources including 3G HD-SDI, 4K/UHD, BNC, and multi-format converters.
This sophisticated device supports the conversion of Super Hi-Vision Dual Green Signal, 8K HD-SDI (x16) to 3G-SDI (x8), and 4K Level-A/B, SQD/2SI signals. It also supports embedded audio, time code, and other ancillary data, ensuring a comprehensive conversion process.
The innovative SCV-8000 UHDTV Signal Converter features automatic conversion mode switching based on input signal payload, with the option for manual switching also available. This state-of-the-art feature ensures optimal performance and versatility, as each channel can be separately configured to meet specific conversion needs.
In the 1.5G to 3G conversion process, this device offers audio remapping capabilities. Channels 9-16 are mapped behind 1-8 in stream A and channels 1-8 behind 9-16 in stream B in the G1-a/b output. Similarly, in the G1-c/d output, channels 25-32 are mapped behind 17-24 in stream A and channels 17-24 behind 25-32 in stream B.
The SCV-8000 UHDTV Signal Converter also boasts a user-friendly interface with convenient displays of operational mode (DG 8K/4K), conversion mode, and frame frequency settings on the front LCD panel. To ensure uninterrupted operation, this device is equipped with a built-in redundant power supply that kicks in during a power supply failure. This feature underscores the device's reliability and commitment to providing continuous, high-quality conversion services.
