Review on ๐Ÿ“บ Decimator MD-HX Cross Converter: HDMI and SDI with Scaling & Frame Rate Conversion by Michael Lucas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product, great support

I only bought the MD-HX to use it to flip the teleprompter image for my video conferencing, so it's kind of overkill: expensive solution to a simple problem, Unfortunately I couldn't solve it any other way. You would think that Microsoft should create such a simple feature in Windows, but they didn't. I tried other software utilities but none of them worked properly. So this looked like the only solution I have. When I first got the MD-HX, I tried playing around with the little menu built into the unit to perform a horizontal rotation, but that didn't work and the menu was hard to find. work with. So I emailed Decimator and they responded almost immediately, asking me to install their USB control panel software and send in some snapshots of the settings. I did just that and the utility worked well and was much easier to navigate than the small menu on the device. As soon as I shared my settings with them, they sent me a reply advising me to make a few changes to the setting and the horizontal swipe worked right away! This product has many advanced features and detailed settings that I don't use, but I'm sure they will come in handy. for professional video production settings and I believe they will be worth the price.
