Decimator Design MD-Cross V2 Miniature HDMI/SDI Cross Converter

Compact and Versatile Cross Converter for Professional Video Workflows
The Decimator MD-Cross V2 is a miniature HDMI and 3G-SDI cross converter built for professionals who need high-performance signal conversion in a compact, standalone format. It supports real-time scaling, frame rate conversion, and bidirectional HDMI/SDI conversion—making it a flexible solution for live production, broadcast environments, and field use. With support for a wide range of formats and conversion paths, this device simplifies complex AV workflows without requiring external software or computers.

Includes Built-In Test Pattern Generator for Diagnostics and Setup
One standout feature of the MD-Cross V2 is its integrated test pattern generator, which supports 54 patterns and 26 output formats. Ideal for system setup, diagnostics, and troubleshooting, these patterns include both Luma and Chroma Zone-plates. You can simulate signal paths and ensure equipment compatibility before deploying your actual content, making this tool especially useful in multi-format production environments or during system commissioning.

Converts Between HDMI and SDI with Scaling and Frame Rate Control
This device provides full HDMI to SDI and SDI to HDMI conversion with built-in up/down/cross scaling and frame rate adjustment. Whether you're sending HD-SDI signals to an HDMI monitor or converting HDMI camera feeds for broadcast switchers, the MD-Cross V2 automatically adjusts formats to match your output requirements. Fourteen pre-configured conversion modes allow for flexible routing and processing without diving into complex menus.

Supports Simultaneous Outputs for Flexible Routing
The MD-Cross V2 offers multiple output options, including one HDMI out, one SDI loop-through, and two SDI outputs. These can be used independently or together, depending on your selected conversion mode. This flexibility allows you to simultaneously route scaled and unscaled versions of your signal to different devices, maximizing compatibility across various stages of production or distribution.

User Interface with LCD Screen and Button Controls
Unlike many converters that require DIP switches or external software, the MD-Cross V2 features an onboard LCD screen and button navigation for direct configuration. This makes field adjustments fast and intuitive. You can modify conversion settings, test pattern parameters, and audio configurations all without connecting to a computer—ideal for fast-paced production environments.

Advanced Overlays and Audio Metering Features
Beyond video signal processing, this converter includes customizable overlays like Title Safe, Action Safe, and Center Cross markers. It also offers 16-channel audio level metering that can be visualized on-screen. These features provide valuable monitoring and compliance tools when prepping content for broadcast or live distribution, and the ability to rearrange audio pairs further enhances output control.

Reliable Power and Firmware Management
The included threaded locking power connector helps prevent accidental disconnection during use, making it reliable for portable or rack-mounted setups. A USB port is also included for firmware updates and optional computer-based control, ensuring the unit stays up to date with new features and format support over time.
