The CHD 1412 is a versatile and compact HDMI to 12G-SDI converter with an integrated frame synchronizer. It is an ideal solution for any application which requires a fully synchronized SDI input from an external asynchronous HDMI source.
It can handle video formats up to UHD and 4K DCI with 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 chroma sub-sampling at 8-bit, 10-bit or 12-bit depth.

The flexible reference sync input accepts any analog video sync format including Black burst, Bi-Level, Color bars and Tri-Level. The sync input is auto detecting and fully cross lock compatible. For example: An SDTV reference can be used to frequency lock an HD HDMI input. If no reference is present, the converter performs a standard asynchronous HDMI to SDI conversion. A pair of stereo analog inputs can be embedded into any AES channel. Audio inputs can be either professional balanced audio with selectable full scale level, or unbalanced consumer line level audio.
PCM and AC3 audio present in the HDMI stream are transparently passed-through/embedded in selflock mode “Ref Source = Auto / HDMI” into the SDI output.

The 12G-SDI fiber output can be used with a wide variety of plug-in SFP options.

Note: For legal reasons, HDMI capture devices from LYNX Technik AG are designed not to capture, convert or transmit video or audio from HDCP copy-protected sources (e.g. Satellite receivers, Cable receivers, BD players etc.)

The module is fully compatible with yelloGUI and LynxCentraal, which provides access to a host of additional internal settings including adjustable video delay for timing purposes. It can be configured, controlled and updated using Windows or MacOS. Like all yellobrik modules, it is compatible with the RFR 1200 rack frame, which provides power redundancy.
