Yuan SDI-HDMI Genlock Cross SDI and HDMI Broadcast Video Converter with Genlock and Up/Down/Cross Conversion

The SDI-HDMI Genlock Cross is Yuan's broadcast video converter for SDI and HDMI, with a black burst and tri-level reference input, up/down/cross conversion and an RCA audio input. It suits broadcast and live production systems where converted video has to lock to house sync.

  • Genlock Reference Input: REF input for black burst and tri-level sync, with free-run or external sync modes to lock output to the facility.
  • Up/Down/Cross Conversion: Scales between 1080p, 1080i, 720p and SD formats, with interlace and de-interlace plus 60 to 59.94 fps conversion.
  • SDI and HDMI Both Ways: One HDMI and one SDI input feed one HDMI output, two converted SDI outputs and one SDI loop-through.
  • Analogue Audio Embedding: A pair of RCA connectors brings in two-channel L/R audio alongside up to eight channels of embedded audio.
  • PC Format Input: HDMI input accepts VESA PC formats from 640x480 to 1280x1024 as well as broadcast HD and SD.

SDI-HDMI Genlock Cross Overview

In a broadcast or live production facility, a converter that free-runs can drift against the house reference and cause problems downstream. The Yuan SDI-HDMI Genlock Cross is a broadcast video converter that locks to an external black burst or tri-level reference, while scaling and cross-converting between SDI and HDMI.

It has one HDMI input and one SDI input, plus the REF input and a pair of RCA connectors for L/R analogue audio. Outputs are one HDMI, two up/down converted SDI and one SDI loop-through. SDI input covers 3G-SDI at 1080p 60/50, HD-SDI at 1080p 30/25/24, 1080i and 720p, and SD-SDI at 480i and 576i. The HDMI input adds PC formats from 640×480 to 1280×1024 at 60 Hz. Built-in interlacer and de-interlacer, 60 to 59.94 fps conversion and frame rate conversion handle mismatched sources. Embedded audio runs at up to eight channels, 24-bit, 48 kHz, with two channels from the RCA input.

The SDI-HDMI Genlock Cross runs from a 7.5 to 15 V DC input and is plug and play. If you do not need a reference input, the SDI-HDMI Cross converts both directions at once without scaling. For an SDI-only path with frame synchronisation, the SDI to SDI Genlock is the dedicated choice.

Yuan publishes no operating temperature or certification for this unit, so plan for an equipment rack or control room. 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 supply the SDI-HDMI Genlock Cross configured and tested with the sources, displays and reference signal it will connect to.
