The SDI to HDMI Converter allows SD, HD and 3G-SDI signals to
be shown on HDMI display. This means that it is now easier for
professionals to distribute and extend their SDI signal while giving the
ability to display work on HDMI displays. In addition, the external audio
output allows the user to send the audio signal originally embedded in
the SDI input to an amplifier or active speakers.
