Mini Converter SDI Distribution

PostFri Aug 03, 2018 5:27 pm

I need to send closed circuit 1920x1080 HD from a ATEM 4K switcher to three LED TV monitors elsewhere in a building and was looking at the Mini Converter SDI Distribution box. Does anyone know if there is a max distance that the SDI cable can be ran from the Mini Converter before amplification is needed? I estimate the distance to be within 100 feet for each run.

It should be good for a 100-foot Run, with the right high bandwidth 3G SDI cable. I have setup SD SDI cable runs that long on RGB cables.

When the LCD monitor have hDMI connectors, you may daisy chain the connections. SDI to the first monitor, SDI to HDMI converter and its output is reclocked ( HDMI to the monitor). So you can go the full available SDI length to the next monitor....

If I remember correctly. You can use the old sdi to hdmi converters
They had a sdi in and out. That way you can loop the output to each monitor
Then you just take the hdmi out to the monitor

I don’t know if the signal will drop because of the 3 loops
Someone else can verify that
But it is a suggestion

You can also use the new cheaper micro converter. They also have a reclocked sdi out.
