Description

StarTech SDI2HD SDI to HDMI Converter Adapter

Overview

The StarTech SDI2HD adapter bridges the gap between professional SDI video sources and standard HDMI displays or capture devices. This unit is essential for integrating broadcast-grade SDI equipment into modern HDMI workflows, such as connecting an SDI camera feed to an HDMI monitor or a capture card in a video production or surveillance setup. The SDI2HD model handles up to 1080p resolution and supports extended cable runs, ensuring signal integrity over distance.

Compatibility

This converter is compatible with standard SDI signals, including 525i and 625i D1 formats, as well as high-definition resolutions up to 1080p (1920x1080) at 24, 25, 30, 50, or 60 frames per second. It supports both 1080p and 1080i interlaced formats, and 720p resolutions. The adapter accepts 8-bit or 10-bit video bit depths and decodes AES & EBU audio, passing up to 8 channels of digital audio at 48 kHz. It features one SDI input and one HDMI output.

Installation Notes

The converter supports SDI cable runs up to 755 feet (230 meters) using RG6/RG59 coaxial cable, preserving signal quality for installations requiring extended reach. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F) and requires a power input of 100-240V AC, with a 5V DC, 2A output from the included power adapter. Power consumption is rated at 10 Watts.
