12G-SDI to QSDI Overview
Moving to 12G-SDI does not retire every 4K monitor, recorder or switcher that expects dual-link or quad-link SDI. The Yuan 12G-SDI to QSDI is a 12G-SDI converter that splits single-link 12G-SDI into those multi-link formats, which helps broadcast and live production facilities keep earlier 4K kit in service.
Input is one 12G-SDI connection at 4096×2160 and 3840×2160 at 60/50 fps, 6G-SDI at 4K30, and HD and SD-SDI. Outputs are one 12G-SDI and three 6G-SDI, carrying single-link 12G-SDI, dual-link 6G-SDI or quad-link 3G-SDI at 4K60 in two-sample interleave, dual-link 3G-SDI or quad-link HD-SDI at 4K30, and dual-link HD-SDI at 1080p60. 3G-SDI Level A, Level B dual link and Level B dual stream are supported. Embedded audio is 16 channels, 24-bit, 48 kHz.
The 12G-SDI to QSDI is plug and play and runs from a 7.5 to 15 V DC input. For the reverse job, the QSDI to 12G-SDI merges dual or quad-link SDI back into 12G-SDI. If your source is HDMI 2.0 or you need scaling, the 12G-SDI/HDMI2.0 to QSDI-S adds an HDMI input and up/down conversion.
Yuan publishes no operating temperature or certification for this unit, so plan for an indoor rack. If you are not sure which conversion you need, our team can look at the sources and destinations on your system and recommend the converter, cabling and power arrangement that suits. We can also supply spare units for critical signal paths and advise on mounting and power in the rack, so the installation is ready before you go live. We supply the 12G-SDI to QSDI configured and tested with the cameras, routers and displays on your system.
