The SignalMaster HD from Elvid is a compact and versatile bidirectional up/down/cross converter. Whether a signal is generated by a laptop or a pro camcorder, the SignalMaster HD's HDMI and 3G-SDI inputs and outputs provide simultaneous input of virtually any video signal type and convert and scale it for monitors, switchers, and recorders. It allows HDMI and SDI gear to be seamlessly integrated into a single setup. Several output options are also available, including loop-through, scaling, and signal conversion from HDMI to SDI, or from SDI to HDMI. Audio output pairs can also be configured from its audio menu.
The Signalmaster HD offers scaling and conversion features that will support many different broadcast, streaming, and live event applications. To ensure A/V components seamlessly work together, an A/V integrator can use the Signalmaster HD to convert, scale, and distribute an HDMI signal to the multiple SDI outputs. The frame rate conversion function can integrate foreign source material that was captured at a different frame rate into a signal that's compatible with local standards. For multisource setups, a frame buffer allows the transition between out-of-sync signals without unwanted flickering.
This versatile unit is powered by the included power supply or via the USB-C port connected to a battery or USB wall charger. Rugged aluminum construction makes it perfect for travel and demanding production environments.
