Four independent paths of true 3G and HD conversions from HDMI to SMPTE 424M, 292M, or 259M.

The COBALT SAPPHIRE 9926-4HtoS 3G/HD/SD Quad-Channel openGear® HDMI-To-SDI Converter with Per-Channel Frame Sync provides four independent paths of true 3G and HD conversions from HDMI to SMPTE 424M, 292M, or 259M. Each path is equipped with frame sync as well as full input and output audio crosspoints and optional per-path color correction. Input and output HDMI and SDI crosspoints allow program sourcing and distribution across any of the four HDMI inputs and four SDI outputs.

In existing openGear® installations, the quad-channel capacity of 9926-4HtoS can save space and lend to installation integrity over using throwdown devices. Preset save/load allows saving custom card settings while allowing instant revert to factory settings. Layered presets allow invoking changes related only to a specific area of concern (audio routing, for example) while not changing any other processing settings or aspects. Full user DashBoard™ or Remote Control Panel remote control allows full status and control access locally or across a standard Ethernet network.

• (2) HDMI Inputs
• (4) SDI Outputs – HDBNC
Note: Due to the alignment of the 9926-2HtoS card and this rear module, the combination of the card and rear module will consume the adjacent even frame slot in addition to the odd slot occupied by the card.
Note: Mates to card in odd slot.
