Key Features

Four Conversion Modes

Auto Select, HDMI > SDI, SDI > HDMI & SDI (with reclocking), and HDMI > HDMI & SDI. One box, every direction your signal needs to go.

Multi-Format SDI

Supports 3G Level A and B, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI up to 1080p60. Handles the sub-standard differences that trip up cheaper units.

Active SDI Reclocking

Mode 3 outputs a reclocked SDI loop alongside the HDMI output — keeping your downstream signal clean over longer cable runs.

USB Powered

Draws 5V from any camera, laptop, or field monitor port. The same connection handles firmware updates and software control.

Ultra-Compact Build

Just 2.4 x 2.9 x 0.9 inches. Rugged enough for mobile rigs and OB trucks. Light enough to forget it's in your pocket.

3-Year Warranty

Decimator backs every MD-LX with a full 3-year manufacturer warranty. This isn't a throwaway adapter — it's a permanent piece of your kit.

Conversion Modes

Auto Select

HDMI ⇆ SDI

Bi-directional — active when both inputs are present simultaneously. Converts in both directions at once.

HDMI to SDI

HDMI In → SDI Out

Single direction. Feed HDMI sources directly into your professional SDI signal chain.

SDI Loop + HDMI

SDI In → HDMI & SDI Out

Outputs HDMI plus a reclocked SDI loop. Keeps downstream SDI signal clean.

HDMI Split

HDMI In → HDMI & SDI Out

Splits one HDMI input to both HDMI and SDI outputs simultaneously.

Real-World Applications

Signal conversion problems don't wait for a convenient time. They happen mid-shoot, during a live broadcast, or right before you hit record.

The MD-LX is built for that reality — no menus to dig through, no complicated setup. Plug it in, select your mode, get back to work.

Broadcast Production

Integrate HDMI cameras and consumer gear into professional SDI signal chains without re-racking your entire setup.

Live Events & Streaming

Convert SDI sources to HDMI for capture cards, monitors, and switchers — OBS, vMix, Wirecast, all of it.

Field Monitoring

Drive HDMI field monitors directly from SDI cameras without building an adapter chain in your rig.

Post-Production

Bridge format gaps in edit suites without re-patching your entire rack or pulling signal from the wrong port.

Year

Full Manufacturer Warranty

Decimator builds gear for the long haul. Every MD-LX ships with a 3-year warranty — engineered to perform under pressure, day in and day out.
