About Link Electronics Converter

Over the years, Link Electronics has established itself as a trusted brand in the realm of high-quality, durable, and innovative electronics. The Link 1159 10 Bit SDI to Composite and Y/C Digital to Analog Converter is a testament to this reputation. This advanced converter is designed to transform SDI serial component digital, 10 bit, into analog (NTSC/PAL) composite video with exceptional precision and performance.

The Link 1159 leverages cutting-edge technology to deliver superior conversion from digital SDI to analog NTSC or PAL composite video. Its digital input is nonlooping and boasts impressive return loss, ensuring error-free transmission for input cable lengths exceeding 500ft. The presence of a serial digital input is confirmed by a signal presence LED, adding an extra layer of reliability to your operations.

This reliable converter is equipped with two NTSC analog outputs on the rear panel, designed for distribution purposes. It also features a Y/C pair of BNC connectors for S-Video distribution, enhancing its versatility. The front panel houses three switches for selecting Color Bars, Set-up On/Off, and NTSC/PAL, offering you complete control over your conversion process.

The Link 1159 preserves Line 21 for closed captioning, making it an ideal choice for professional video applications. It is designed to reside in LINK's 1000-Series frame, which can accommodate up to 11 modules of various types. The converter also supports a redundant power supply for dual power supply operation, with a second power cord included for separate AC circuit breakers.

The DigiFlex 1159 is part of the DigiFlex 1000 series modules, which can operate in the mounting frame in any configuration. The specific rear cell matches the module and, in some cases, the rear cell detects the desired output signal. This advanced, high-quality converter is a versatile and reliable choice for all your digital to analog conversion needs.
