Decimator MD-LX HDMI/SDI Bidirectional Converter

Installed these with a 150' SG-6 cable to two TV's and it worked no problems. Very pleased with quality of the device and that it is simple to install. Now if I could just figure out an easy way to pull the cable life would be good!

I keep several of these on my TV truck to adapt devices like iPads, Apple TV, PCs and laptops to a 1080p signal that Cobalt UDX and AJA FS1/2/4s can lock.

We are using the MD-LX for a production of Grease at school. We needed a low-latency video feed of the conductor, since she’s on stage behind the performers. We are using a Sony camcorder with SDI out to the MD-LX to an ASUS 24” FreeSync monitor. There’s almost no latency. For us, this was the perfect solution, especially for a non-tech person like me.

I love this versatile unit. It's bidirectional, SDI to HDMI. HDMI to SDI. And conserve as a re-amp for long HDMI runs. small. USB powered with AC USB adaptor included. stable. however its pass through. you cant change resolution from input to output like other decimator units. but tgat aside, i love the product.

So this does not do cross CONVERSION (I.E. it will not change frame rates, I missed that) so I had to return it to Adorama. They took care of postage and my Mail officer pick it up from my house. Total cost to send it back? Around $3.50. Very very reasonable. I will be ordering from them again. I hate returning things, but it's nice knowing that I can do it hassle free.

I have a customer that needed to change television from an S Video connection and change it to HDMI for a better solution for colonoscopies. The equipment they currently have only has an SDI output for digital resolution. I connected this bad boy and it worked instantly. Very happy with the product.

Works great to convert reliably from HDMI-to-SDI and SDI-to-HDMI but note that it does NOT scan convert between resolutions, framerates, interlaced-to-progressive. For that, I recommend the MD-HX.

I use these all the time. You can't go wrong. It's great that there's only one type, not a "sender" and a "receiver" you find on other things like extenters over cat-5.
