Multivert - 10 SDI to Analog Monitoring Converter

The Multivert, a 10 channel composite encoder was designed for monitor wall applications where multiple SDI component video signals need to be converted to composite analog. The Multivert is the most cost effective method of monitoring on a per channel basis as it houses 10 converters as well as a redundant power supply in a 1RU frame. Each of the ten channels has two composite analog video outputs as well as a single regenerated SDI component video output.

The Multivert proves itself to be a better alternative to the use of awkward dongle based converters that use wall mounted or brick based power supplies.

The Multivert is a compact 1RU, 7.75 inches deep, rack mountable frame with both front and rear panel LED status displays for each of its ten channels. Thanks in part to its compact size, the Multivert is capable of being mounted in the rear of the monitoring wall equipment rack (Multivert was designed with capability to reverse the rack mounting brackets). Further, by having status LEDs on both the rear panel as well as the front panel, it allows the cables to be installed facing the rear of the rack thus providing for both status monitoring as well as convenient cabling.

Having the Multivert mounted in the rear of the monitor racks eliminates the need for long analog cable runs from modular converters in the equipment rack room to the monitors, thus eliminating the need for analog equalizing DAs.

Features

  • 10 independent converters in a 1RU enclosure
  • 2 NTSC/PAL analog composite color outputs per converter
  • Reclocked SDI output for each channel
  • Ideal for monitoring serial component signals with inexpensive composite analog monitors
  • Each channel has front panel LEDs for PAL, NTSC and signal presence
    • Video presence LED for each channel, viewable from the rear of each frame
    • Reversible rack ears allow for mounting in the back of a rack and with the shallow chassis measuring only 7.75"
    • Can be mounted directly behind other equipment
    • Dual power supply (optional)
