Pioneering 12G-SDI

1,089 Transparent Conversions
Perform 1,089 real-time conversions between SD, HD and Ultra HD with visually transparent results. Teranex processing handles up, down, cross and standards conversion with cadence detection.
Compact and Self Contained
A built-in LCD monitor shows source format and live video, so no external monitor is needed. The machined metal front panel packs into a compact 1 rack unit chassis.
