DECIMATOR 12G-CROSS 4K HDMI/SDI Cross Converter with Scaling and Frame Rate Conversion

DECIMATOR 12G-CROSS Overview

Combining capabilities usually reserved for a computer-controlled converter, the DECIMATOR 12G-CROSS 4K HDMI/SDI Cross Converter with Scaling and Frame Rate Conversion is an independent device that features both HDMI and a 12G/3G/HD/SD-SDI input, and can cross-convert either signal to the other. It features a built-in scaler and frame rate converter, allowing you to convert the input signal to your required output standard in 3249 possible conversion combinations, and it supports 294 VESA formats via the HDMI input.

The 12G-CROSS features one HDMI 2.0 output and two pairs of 12G/3G/HD/SD-SDI outputs, controllable via 57 selectable conversion modes to fit your needs. This converter does not require a computer or DIP switches to control as it incorporates a small LCD screen for menu functions, and four buttons for control. It comes with a USB cable, a power supply, and features a threaded locking power socket to prevent accidental power loss during use.

Wouldn’t do a show without one

Decimators have bailed me out more times than I can count.

4K…And, this has Genlock!!!

By Edward Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2021-06-29

Who doesn’t love Decimators cross converters?!? It’s a poor man’s ImagePro. But, an incredibly flexible one! Anyway, just days after buying this I needed a 4K down convert…My other Decimators wouldn’t work. But, this one saved the day! Another time I have to convert one camera feeding a switcher. Since the camera was getting scaled through the Decimator 4K it lost the genlock going to the camera. So, I moved the genlock from the camera to the Decimator 4K and everything was fixed! I love these things!

Great

Great update/advancement to the original model.

very useful

It’s a DIT’s swiss army knife. If you are DIT, you should have one. You can convert any of SDI or HDMI signal up to 4096p60(include DCI 2k). And It can use as a SDI 1:4 VDA(Distribution Amplifier). sooo useful. But unfortunately, you cannot generate Color Bar or 1k signal internally. as MD-Cross v2 can do this. So you can’t use it for testing cables or monitors. Also, there is no Gratical function. The size is bit bigger and heavier than MD-Cross v2. but regarding functionality, it’s not so big issue.

Great box

Great box for conversions. Does a lot of video formats. Wish the interface was more clear but you get the hang of it.

The de facto standard for throw-down scalers.
