ADVCHDSC1 is an SDI-to-component signal converter that converts HD-SDI signals to HD component output or SD-SDI signals to SD component output. ADVCHDSC1 provides instant output of HD content to affordable HD component displays, such as HDTVs and RGB computer monitors, and SD content to component, S-Video and composite displays. ADVCHDSC1 also incorporates a sync generator for both HD (Tri-Level sync) and SD (Black Burst), making this unit an ideal tool for video editing studios. Optional rackmount kit available.

In addition to HD-SDI and SD-SDI conversion, ADVCHDSC1 also offers several unique features, including Embedded audio support, conversion of SD-SDI to S-Video and composite, HD-SDI conversion to RGB for PC monitors that feature BNC inputs, and front panel displays for video format and audio level outputs. ADVCHDSC1 automatically detects the video format currently being input, and supports SDI signal pass-through.

ADVCHDSC1 is a solid 8-inch, half-1U rackmount unit, with outputs for YPbPr, RGB, S-Video and composite. The unbalanced RCA stereo output can be configured to output any pair of eight-channel embedded audio via the front control panel. An optional 19-inch rackmount kit is available to install the ADVCHDSC1 unit into a standard A/V rack.
