An easily integrated solution for converting 4K UHD quadrant-division and 2SI content into 3G/HD-SDI.

The TOPAZ 9902-DC-4K Quad SDI/2SI-Input UHD Broadcast Downconverter with Optional Frame Sync provides an easily integrated openGear® solution for converting 4K UHD quadrant-division and 2SI (two-sample interleave) content into 3G/HD-SDI. Easy to use DashBoard configuration and monitoring provides for easy setup.

The TOPAZ 9902-DC-4K precisely combines four quadrant-divided or 2SI individual SDI feeds into a combined SDI image directly suitable for broadcast production usage or monitoring purposes. An HDMI output is also furnished which is directly usable by a monitor.

The openGear® card-based form-factor and high-density design allows up to ten TOPAZ 9902-DC-4K cards to be fitted to a 20-slot frame. Full user DashBoard™ or Remote Control Panel remote control allows full status and control access locally or across a standard Ethernet network.
