DATAVIDEO DAC-9P 4K HDMI to 12G-SDI Converter

DATAVIDEO DAC-9P 4K HDMI to 12G-SDI Converter is a practical utility box for getting an HDMI source into an SDI-based workflow without turning that handoff into the weak point of the system. Based on the source details, it provides 1 x HDMI 2.0 input, 1 x HDMI 2.0 loop output, 2 x 12G-SDI outputs, and 2 x RCA stereo analog audio inputs, with support up to DCI 4K60 and UHD 4K60. In day-to-day production terms, this is the kind of converter you use when an HDMI camera, computer, or playback source needs to move into longer-run SDI infrastructure cleanly.

Highlights

• HDMI to 12G-SDI conversion for bringing HDMI sources into broadcast-style signal paths
• Dual 12G-SDI outputs for sending one converted source to two SDI destinations
• HDMI loop output keeps a direct HDMI path available for local monitoring or passthrough
• Supports DCI 4K60 and UHD 4K60 along with common HD formats
• Built-in signal re-clocking helps the converted signal stay cleaner on the downstream side

Why It Helps

In mixed-format systems, the real issue is usually not whether a source can output HDMI. It is whether that source can be folded into the rest of the SDI plant without creating a fragile point in the chain. The DAC-9P helps solve that. It converts the source, gives you two SDI outputs to work with, preserves an HDMI loop path, and adds re-clocking to improve signal stability after conversion. That makes it a sensible fit for flypacks, control rooms, event systems, and fixed installs where HDMI devices still need to behave properly inside SDI infrastructure.

System Characteristics

• HDMI-to-SDI conversion role makes the unit useful when computer, camera, or playback outputs need to enter SDI-based infrastructure
• Dual 12G-SDI outputs allow one converted signal to feed two downstream SDI paths
• HDMI loop output keeps a local HDMI feed available without adding another splitter
• 4K60 format support keeps the converter relevant in current UHD and DCI 4K workflows
• Signal re-clocking helps clean up the converted path for more stable downstream transmission
• Analog audio input with SDI embedded audio adds flexibility when external audio needs to travel with the video signal
• Compact housing makes the unit easier to place in small racks, carts, and portable systems
