Product Overview
The 12GM represents a compact Mini-Converter specialized in SDI transport, facilitating the seamless conversion between 12G-SDI and quad link 3G-SDI, as well as vice versa. This multiplexer/demultiplexer caters to a wide spectrum of video formats, including 4K, UltraHD, 2K, HD, and SD, by enabling conversions from quad link SDI signals to single link SDI signals, and vice versa. These conversions encompass a range of bit rates, including 12G, 6G, 3G, and 1.5G, as well as dual-link configurations. The device supports both Square Division (Quadrant) and Two Sample Interleave (2SI) input and output mappings, ensuring comprehensive compatibility for diverse SDI signal management needs.
