HDMI has quickly become one of the major standards for uncompressed video in the consumer world. Many input devices support HDMI, such as cameras and recorder/ players – and many more are yet to come. On the professional side, many HD devices support HDSDI as the preferred HD input. Most HD encoders and HD video servers generally support HD-SDI. With HD Spigot™ H/S, professionals can interface new low cost HDMI devices to professional HD-SDI equipment. HD Spigot converts HDMI to HD-SDI in real time. It supports unrestricted (No HDCP) HDMI devices, such as JVC cameras and recorders, and others. The HD-SDI output is fully compatible with SMPTE 292M. HD Spigot H/S supports 1080i/p or 720p HD. The frame rate output matches the frame rate input.
