The Decimator 12G-Cross is a powerful, bi-directional 4K converter that seamlessly bridges HDMI and SDI workflows. Built for broadcast and live production, it handles format, resolution, and frame rate conversions—such as scaling 1080p to 4K—without the need for external computers or DIP switches.
Equipped with a 12G-SDI input, four 12G-SDI outputs, and HDMI 2.0 I/O, the unit functions as both a cross-converter and a 1-to-4 distribution amplifier. Its advanced 4K scaling engine supports over 3,000 conversion combinations and lets users flip images, rearrange audio pairs, and lock to Genlock.
Designed for portability and reliability in the field, the unit features a rugged, fanless aluminium chassis. It incorporates an intuitive front-panel LCD and button control system, ensuring straightforward, real-time adjustments while maintaining low-noise and highly stable performance.
