Review on πŸ“Ί Decimator MD-HX Cross Converter: HDMI and SDI with Scaling & Frame Rate Conversion by Loren Jacobson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quality and equipment at a top price!

This is the coolest thing! Much better workmanship, quality, versatility and functionality than Blackmagic products. First, the digital display simplifies setup. It's durable, well made and comes with everything you need, even a bracket! It's not made in Germany, but you might think so! The instructions could be worded a bit better but they are very helpful once you have a good understanding of what you are trying to achieve. The dual inputs also eliminate the need for a switcher box when you have two sources that you want to switch between from time to time. The only thing I could ask for is the ability to set the output IRE to 7.5 and assign different scaling settings to the two outputs, but that's not a big deal for what it already does at this price point.

Pros
  • RELIABLE: Features an aluminum body with easy-to-use LCD display and push button controls, metal threaded DC power connector, USB port for control and firmware updates. Includes power adapter, HDMI and USB cable.
Cons
