A powerful converter in a portable package, the MCSDI-1 enables you to convert the output from any camera including prosumer-level cameras to professional-grade HD-SDI or SD-SDI for outstanding, broadcast-quality video.

Flexible and Affordable
With it’s ability to convert SD, HD, or HDMI inputs to SD-SDI or HD-SDI, the MCSDI-1 delivers multiple conversion options in one, cost-effective unit.

Portable
With its small footprint, the MCSDI-1 is extremely portable, can be mounted on a camera, and powered by a 7.2V DC camera battery (Adapter required).

Multiple Input Options
The MCSDI-1 accommodates HD analogue, SD analogue, and HDMI inputs.

Input Signal Auto Sensing
With built-in auto sensing, no signal-setting is required for video inputs, making the unit very simple to use.

Extends the Usage of Prosumer Cameras
Prosumer-level HD cameras (with analogue or HDMI output) can now be used in live studio shoots when combined with the MCSDI-1.

Two-Channel Audio Input
The MCSDI-1 can accommodate two channels of audio input and embed them both in the SDI signal, requiring only one SDI cable for both video and audio transmission.

MC-HD1 is a powerful conversion product that is capable of HD and SD signal conversion, SD to HD upscaling, HD to SD downscaling and HD cross scaling.

An Ideal Front-end Solution
The MC-HD1 is ideally suited as a front-end to non-linear editing (NLE) and media asset management (MAM) systems or as a video conversion tool for live-production or post-production use. The MC-HD1 also makes it possible to monitor an SD down-conversion of any output source.

The MC-HD1 features HD/SD-SDI, HDMI, component, composite (SD) and Y/C (SD), unbalanced/balanced audio and dual channel AES/EBU digital audio inputs and outputs. In addition, de-interlacing/interlacing, frame-rate conversion, audio embed/de-embed, SD/HD up/down scaling and adaptive audio delay compensation for increased flexibility. The MC-HD1 is packaged in a compact 1RU chassis with a backlit LCD display for settings and status and an easy to use scroll wheel for menu navigation. Settings can be controlled and viewed using the MC-HD1's built in web server via a simple network connection from any web browser. External devices such as VTR's can be controlled via RS422 and outputs genlocked.
