The Cobalt® Blue Box BBG-H-TO-S HDMI-to-SDI throw-down converter unit is a part of the BlueBox™ group of compact, rugged, and portable converter boxes.
Blue Box can power directly via USB to get its power from video monitors or other equipment. Blue Box BBG H-To-S provides true 3G and HD conversions from HDMI to SMPTE 424M, 292M, or 259M. The HDMI input can also receive and convert DVI-D sources (limited to SMPTE HD formats).
Embedded audio on the 2x SDI output can be sourced from the HDMI input (channels 1-8) or from a line-level analog audio pair input. Along with the analog audio embedding offered by BBG H-To-S, this allows an SDI output with embedded audio using DVI-D video sources.
Key Features
Direct conversion from HDMI to SMPTE 259M, 292M and 424M SDI. Accepts DVI-D input sources with conversion to coax SDI.
Compact size and low weight design easily affixes directly to camera or host device chassis. Optional BBG-MB mounting bracket provides rigid, secure mounting to mounting surfaces.
5.1-channel embedding from HDMI audio. Stereo analog audio embedding from stereo analog audio input pair.
