Dual HD to SD Downconverter

The RD10MD is a 10-bit broadcast-quality dual HD down converter. Channels 1 and 2 are fully independent. Channel 1 has 2 re-clocked HD/SD-SDI outputs, and channel 2 has 1. Both channel 1 and 2 have 2 down-converted outputs, which can be independently configured as SDI or composite analog. All HD formats are supported, including 24p/psf with 3:2 pulldown. The SD output can be formatted for either 4:3 or 16:9 monitors. For 4:3 monitors, both letterbox and crop modes are supported. The RD10MD is also dual-rate (HD/SD) and will support SDI inputs. The RD10MD is compatible with AJA's FR1 or FR2 frames.
