Decimator Design DECIMATOR 2 1920 x 1080 pixels

Decimator Design DECIMATOR 2 SDI to HDMI and NTSC/PAL Converter

The Decimator Design DECIMATOR 2 converts 3G, HD or SD-SDI (26 formats, auto-detected) to HDMI and to composite NTSC or PAL at the same time, with simultaneous scaling on both outputs and a maximum delay of one input frame. The HDMI output offers optional full scaling and aspect ratio conversion, plus overlays for 16-channel audio metering, adjustable graticules and text. The composite output provides low latency down-conversion with anamorphic, letterbox or centre cut aspect ratio conversion, a full 10-bit data path, 16 times over-sampling and EIA-708/608 closed caption pass-through. De-embedded analogue audio is available on two RCA connectors, and there is an active SDI loop-through output.
