Many new High Definition camcorders and devices provide HDMI as the only High Definition output option. Datavideo’s DAC-9P allows users to connect HDMI devices to professional SDI equipment, like video switchers or recorders up to 200 meters away.

HDMI is not suitable for long cable runs, but using a Datavideo DAC-9P, users can convert HDMI to High Definition & Standard Definition SDI and take advantage of the high quality and affordable connectivity that SDI cables offer. The DAC-9P even embeds the audio from HDMI into the SDI signal so only one single low cost cable is needed.
