Availability: In stock
The Extron DSC HD-12G A is a high performance HDMI to multi-format SDI scaler with dual mirrored outputs. It converts HDMI video signals to 12G-SDI, 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI, and HD-SDI formats. It accepts and scales HDMI video resolutions from 480i to 4K/60. The user can select between multiple SDI output formats from 720p to 4K/60 resolutions. It features the Extron Vector™ 4K scaling engine for critical-quality 4K applications. Audio from the HDMI or Analogue audio input is available on the SDI and Analogue audio outputs. Genlock input with loop-out, motion-adaptive deinterlacing for signals up to 1080i, Deep Colour processing, seamless upstream transitions, and the ability to display logo images for on-screen messages and corporate branding facilitate integration in demanding professional environments.
Vector 4K Scaling
The DSC HD-12G A incorporates Extron Vector™ 4K scaling technology, developed in‑house, and engineered to deliver best-in-class image upscaling and downscaling. The Vector 4K engine embodies a complete set of image processing algorithms that ensure uncompromising scaling performance with 30‑bit precision processing. This enables sharp, accurate scaling of standard definition and high definition signals up to 4K, as well as downscaling of 4K source signals for lower resolution displays without losing critical image detail.
The DSC HD-12G A offers a range of upstream switching effects. These include a freeze/fade transition that fades out a final frozen frame of the previous input source as the newly detected source fades in, a cut through black transition, and a fade through black transition. Selectable FILL and FOLLOW modes are available to set the desired video aspect ratio. FILL mode provides full screen output, while FOLLOW mode preserves the original signal's aspect ratio.
Audio Flexibility
The DSC HD-12G A offers enhanced audio capabilities, including SDI audio embedding, input gain and attenuation controls, and input audio muting. To suit the needs of the application, the scaler can embed Analogue audio signals or up to eight channels of embedded HDMI audio onto up to four pairs of AES audio channels for the SDI outputs. The DSC HD-12G A provides gain and attenuation adjustments for the Analogue stereo input, as well as the ability to mute the audio input.
Display Custom Images and Logos
The DSC HD-12G A provides the convenience of uploading custom images, which can be displayed as a screen saver after a predefined duration of inactivity at the video input, or whenever the input is disconnected between presentations.
A custom graphic logo, such as a company logo, can be inserted into any presentation. Several key effects are available, and a logo can be positioned anywhere on‑screen.
Multiple Options for Control and Operation
The DSC HD-12G A features front panel controls for quick access to functions. Local and remote configuration and control are available via USB and Ethernet. The on-screen menus provide control over the unit's functions and settings, including quick access to key parameters such as input and output video formats and resolutions. Additionally, LED indicators on the front panel provide visual confirmation of input and output signal format, and signal presence. The DSC HD-12G A is housed in a 1”, half rack width metal enclosure and can be easily integrated into a variety of environments.
Extron DSC HD-12G A Key Features
