## Overview

The Decimator MD-HX is a professional-grade HDMI and SDI cross converter that supports 3G Level A & B formats, featuring 4 SDI outputs for distribution, built-in scaling and frame rate conversion, and a rugged aluminum design with an easy-to-use LCD interface. Perfect for multi-camera setups and live broadcast environments, it delivers versatile, reliable video conversion and distribution without the hassle of complex controls or additional devices.

## Description

The Decimator MD-HX is a truly portable converter, which incorporates an easy-to-use LCD and button control system. This gives you easy access to all of the amazing features that have been unavailable without a computer until now. The days of having to play with complicated dip switches or having to carry around a computer to change a simple setting are gone.Cross ConverterThe Decimator MD-HX HDMI and SDI Cross Converter supports both 3G level A and B on the input and output, allowing conversions between A and B. It offers four (3G/HD/SD)-SDI outputs, that allow it to be used as a 1 to 4 distribution amplifier. Output pair 1 can either be a copy of the SDI input (default) or the same as pair 2. The audio pairs in the SDI and HDMI outputs can be rearranged as required.Additional FeaturesHorizontal and/or vertical image flipping is possible via the built-in scaler. It also includes a down/up cross converter that allows either the HDMI or SDI input to be scaled and/or frame rate converted to the required standard. The converter features a robust aluminum case with easy-to-use LCD and button control system.

Review: Get One! (At least one) - This is a must-have utility tool for anyone who works in a multi-camera/multi-source video environment. If you're looking at this item you're probably already familiar with the sort of things it can do and it does all of them well but i particularly want to praise: 1 - The simple UI & functionality - No app, no login, no wifi, no touch screen, no multiple points of failure, no dip switch, no rotary encoder, no hold-up when working a broadcast where seconds count. It's just a back-lit LCD and some big fat buttons, perfection. 2 - Essentially indestructible - I once had a student drop on of these from about 25 feet onto solid concrete. Picked it up, plugged it in, worked just fine. I don't know if it's rated for that kind of abuse but it didn't seem to mind. You could probably use one to tunnel out of Shawshank. 3 - 12v 2a Locking 5.5mm barrel jack PSU - Most pro gear has locking power options but sometimes they have an obnoxious feature to the input that more-or-less forces you to use their own power connections. You can use standard stuff for this unit in a pinch or if you need to power it off a battery, voltage range is awesome (5v to 32v dc). It's great. Buy at least one just to have on-site to solve problems. If you don't need the adaptability of the unit you may want to buy a less-expensive, purpose-configued device for static installations (although I'm sure this performs well in that role) but for all the unit can do at the speed that it can respond it is worth the cost to have in a kit for sure.
Review: Excellent product, great support - I bought the MD-HX for the sole purpose of using it for flipping my image horizontally for a teleprompter for my video conferences, so this is an overkill in some sense: an expensive solution for a simple problem that I unfortunately couldn't otherwise solve. You would think Microsoft should build such a simple feature in Windows, but they didn't. I tried other software utilities but none worked well. So this looked like the only solution I have. When I first got the MD-HX, I tried to fiddle with the small menu built into the device to effect the horizontal flip, but that didn't work, and the menu was hard to work with. So I emailed Decimator and they responded almost immediately, prompting me to install their USB Control Panel software and send some settings snapshots. I did and the utility worked well and was much easier to work with than the little menu in the device. Once I shared my settings with them they sent back advising me to make a few changes in the setting, and horizontal flipping worked right away! This product has many advanced features and detailed settings that I am not using, but I am sure they come handy for professional video production settings, and I believe they would be well worth the price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm planning on using this to convert a gopro feed for a blackmagic atem switcher, will this convert it to a usable format?**
A: Hi Aaron, We generally use the decimator to convert a computer hdmi output (powerpoint slide) to be used with our blackmagic switcher (1080i59.94).  It works great and I believe it will work with whatever video feed as well.  I would think any camera with an hdmi or sdi out.  I am not sure what the gopro out is? When I was first introduced to the decimator my av friend said it was the swiss army knife for video.  So if anything will help this should work for you.  (probably as useful as a barco scaler (7K) which I used to rent to convert slides)  hope this helps -Luke Thorpe

**Q: I have two hdmi to sdi camcorders that need scaling to be compatible with the atem switcher.  is it possible to use this device with both?**
A: This is a single channel unit--you would need one MD-HX per camera. You did mention your signal needs to be scaled, so I'm guessing you have the original ATEM Television Studio which was only compatible with 1080 60i? The later ATEM's including the current Television Studio HD can handle a variety of formats. If by any chance your camera outputs 1080 23.98psf (Sony, Panasonic), that does need converting to 23.98p for those switchers, and the cheapest way to do it is with the Decimator MD-LX that can cross convert from HDMI to SD and back again, and will convert 23.98psf to 23.98p.

**Q: How does it handle hdcp?**
A: Like (almost) everything else. if it's present, it prohibits conversion to SDI

**Q: If there is no signal being fed to the sdi-input, can the hdmi output be used as a passthrough for the hdmi input?**
A: It can be used as a pass-through.  One thing that I've found in my testing is that it also does simultaneous cross converting.  You can use the HDMI->SDI at the same time as the SDI->HDMI (even with different picture formats).  You can also use the SDI Out or HDMI out no matter what input you use.Pretty neat little device!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality and capability at a great price!
*by E***N on July 4, 2020*

This is the coolest thing ever! Much better build, quality, versatility, and functionality than Blackmagic products. First, the digital display makes it super easy to set up. It’s sturdy, made well, and comes with everything you need...even a mounting bracket! It’s not made in Germany, but you would think it was! The instructions could be worded a bit better but they are very helpful if you have a good understanding of what you’re trying to accomplish. The dual inputs also eliminated the need for a switch box if you happen to have two sources you want to occasionally switch between. The only things I could possibly ask for is the ability to adjust the output IRE to 7.5, and to assign different scaler settings for the two outputs, but that’s not a huge deal for what it already does at this price point.
