It accepts input resolutions from 480i through 4K\/60 and produces selectable SDI output formats from 720p to 4K\/60, so the signal lands in the format the downstream router or switcher expects. The Extron Vector 4K scaling engine performs the conversion, with logo image keying available on the output. Two simultaneous SDI outputs feed a switcher and a recorder without an external distribution amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGetting AV sources into a production chain is a routine requirement in broadcast studios, worship facilities, and lecture capture environments. The laptop, room PC, or presentation system speaks HDMI; the production infrastructure speaks SDI at a specific rate. A converter alone forces the downstream equipment to deal with whatever resolution arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe DSC HD-12G A scales during conversion. Input handling covers one HDMI or DVI input on a female HDMI connector, accepting resolutions from 480i through 4K\/60 with a 600 MHz maximum pixel clock and up to 18 Gbps HDMI data rate. Output formats are selectable from 720p to 4K\/60 across 12G-SDI, 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI, and HD-SDI, which means the operator picks the format that matches the plant rather than negotiating with the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo simultaneous mirrored SDI outputs are provided. In practice that removes a distribution amplifier from the rack: one output goes to the production switcher and the second to a recorder, a stream encoder, or a confidence monitor, both carrying the same scaled signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChroma sampling supports 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4:2:0, with 4:2:0 accepted on input only and 4:2:2 on the output side. Color bit depth is 8 or 10 bits per color, with 10-bit available on output. Supported frame rates are 24, 25, 30, 50, and 60 fps. Logo image keying composites an identifier onto the output without a separate device. For the opposite direction, SDI into scaled HDMI, specify the Extron DSC 12G-HD A.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHDMI to

scaled signal. That lets one feed a production switcher while the second goes to a recorder, stream encoder, or confidence monitor, removing a distribution amplifier from the rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat input resolutions are accepted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e480i through 4K\/60 on a single HDMI or DVI input, at up to 18 Gbps with a 600 MHz maximum pixel clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich SDI output rates can I select?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e720p through 4K\/60 across 12G-SDI, 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI, and HD-SDI. The selectable output means the signal arrives in the format your plant expects rather than whatever the source produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it accept 4:2:0 sources?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, on the input side. Output chroma sampling is 4:2:2. Color bit depth is 8 or 10 bits per color, with 10-bit available on the output.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I add a logo to the output?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Logo image keying and display is built in, so a station identifier or institutional mark can be composited without a separate keyer in the chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat handles the opposite direction?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Extron DSC 12G-HD A converts multi-rate SDI into scaled HDMI, with an SDI loop output.
