Decimator Design MD-LX HDMI/SDI Bidirectional Converter

Compact Signal Conversion for Professional Video Workflows
The Decimator Design MD-LX is a compact bi-directional converter that offers seamless integration between HDMI and SDI signals. Whether you're working in the studio or on location, this converter enables full HD video interoperability between HDMI and SDI systems—ideal for bridging consumer and professional video equipment. Small enough to fit in your pocket, it’s perfect for fieldwork, flypacks, and portable production rigs.

Supports HDMI to SDI and SDI to HDMI Conversion
This converter provides multiple conversion modes to fit your workflow. Whether you need SDI to HDMI, HDMI to SDI, or simultaneous cross-conversion, the MD-LX handles it all automatically or with manual selection. It supports both 3G-SDI Level A and Level B, and includes auto detection for input formats. With Full HD 1080p60 compatibility, it ensures smooth operation in any broadcast or video production environment.

Flexible Routing with Simultaneous Outputs
Designed to handle a variety of input/output scenarios, the MD-LX includes HDMI and SDI inputs and outputs. If only one input is active, the converter automatically sends that signal to both outputs. If both inputs are active, it supports full bi-directional conversion—HDMI to SDI and SDI to HDMI at the same time. This flexible architecture simplifies complex signal paths without the need for multiple devices.

Reliable Signal Locking and Easy Setup
Signal integrity is critical, and the MD-LX includes robust input locking for both HDMI and SDI sources. This ensures stable video output with minimal delay or dropout. The converter is powered and configured via USB, making firmware updates and configuration simple with no extra hardware or DIP switches required.

Perfect for Field and Broadcast Use
With its rugged, pocket-sized design and low power consumption, the MD-LX is engineered for mobility. It's a go-to tool for video technicians, AV professionals, and broadcast engineers needing reliable format conversion on the fly. It fits easily into compact production setups without sacrificing performance or compatibility.
