The HD10AVA is a compact, field-friendly converter that converts analog audio and video sources into embedded SD/HD-SDI output. It automatically senses the incoming video format and delivers three redundant SD/HD-SDI outputs, making it suitable for rental applications where reliability and quick setup are important.

Key Features

• Automatic format detection, supporting HD formats including 1080i (50, 59.94, 60), 1080PsF (23.98, 24, 25), 1035i, and 720p (50, 59.94, 60).
• Analog video inputs via a breakout cable: HD component YPbPr (SMPTE-274) and SD component/composite/YC (S-Video) on a single BNC.
• Embedded audio from 4-channel balanced XLR inputs, converted at 24-bit, 48 kHz.
• Three SD/HD-SDI outputs on BNC connectors, compliant with SMPTE-259/292/296 for flexible downstream routing and redundancy.
• High-quality A/D conversion, 12-bit video A/D and selectable audio input levels (+10, +12, +18, +24 dBu or full scale digital) for matching pro equipment.
• User controls via external dipswitch for input type selection, pedestal on/off (SD), and audio level adjustment.

Use Cases

• Adding HD-SDI outputs to HDV cameras or decks by using component outputs.
• Providing SD/HD-SDI feeds from tape decks and other legacy pro gear with analog outputs for integration into modern routing and monitoring systems.
• On-location shoots needing compact, low-power conversion with embedded audio for live switching or recording.
