Overview
The Elvid SignalMaster HD is a compact and versatile bidirectional up-down cross converter. Whether your signal is generated by a laptop or a pro camcorder, the SignalMaster HD’s HDMI and 3G-SDI inputs and outputs let you simultaneously input virtually any video signal and convert and scale it for monitors, switchers, and recorders. For complex setups, The SignalMaster HD allows you to integrate HDMI and SDI gear into a single setup. Several output options are also available including loop through, scaling, and signal conversion from HDMI to SDI, or from SDI to HDMI. Audio output pairs can also be configured from its audio menu. The Signalmaster HD offers scaling and conversion features that will support many different broadcast, streaming, and live event applications. To ensure A/V components seamlessly work together, an A/V integrator can use the Signalmaster HD to convert, scale, and distribute an HDMI signal to the multiple SDI outputs. Broadcast engineers can take advantage of the frame-rate conversion to integrate foreign source material that was captured in a different frame rate, to a signal that’s compatible with local standards. And for multisource setups, the SignalMaster HD’s frame buffer allows you to transition between out-of-sync signals without unwanted flickering. The unit is powered by the included power supply or via the USB-C port connected to a battery or USB wall charger. Rugged aluminum construction makes it perfect for travel and demanding production environments.
Features
Up-Down Cross Conversion
The SignalMaster HD cross-converts HDMI and SDI signals without latency and routes them to SDI and HDMI outputs. Up and down frame rate conversion to the required standard is equally seamless.
Frame Rate Conversion
Conforming video that was captured with different frame rates to a single output standard is another reason the Signalmaster should be in every production setup. You can convert HDMI and SDI signals to match the frame rate that’s compatible with local standards.
Frame Reference Sync
The SignalMaster HD can sync the internal scaler’s frame buffer to a selected input signal. This feature is ideal for multisource setups where switcher transitions between out-of-sync signals produce unwanted artifacts like flickering. The converter can reference an SDI or HDMI input signal or run independently without referencing to an external signal.
User-Friendly Interface with Large LCD Screen
The large LCD screen makes it fast and easy to scroll to the various menus and change operational settings. An intuitive interface lets you make quick adjustments, switch inputs and outputs, and convert and scale signals on the fly.
3G-SDI and HDMI Inputs and Outputs
The SignalMaster HD allows you to simultaneously input HDMI and SDI signals. With flexible and intuitive routing, the SignalMaster HD will loop through or cross-convert, upscale, or downscale the signals and output virtually any standard used by your target devices.
Progressive segmented Frame (PsF)
The PsF option lets you integrate incompatible interleaved and progressive equipment into the same system. The scanner can add PsF flag metadata to an incoming 1080i video signal so compatible equipment can recognize the signal and reconstruct it into a progressive-scan visual.
HDMI Output Formatting
The HCMI CS options let you format the HDMI output signal and configure audio channels for different types of HDMI monitors, switchers, and projectors. Select RGB or YCbCr color spaces, and from two to eight audio channels.
3G SD Level A and B Input and Output
For compatibility with a wide variety of SDI gear, the SignalMaster HD executes conversion between 3G-SDI Level A and 3G-SDI Level B signals.
Output Orientation
The SignalMaster HD provides the option of flipping the output HDMI or SDI signal along horizontal and vertical axes. This is a particularly handy feature if you’re projecting an image from behind a screen or to a teleprompter, or if the projector is hanging upside down from a ceiling mount.
Software Control
Attach your computer to the USB-C port and use the Signalmaster HD app to access all its features without interrupting your workflow.
Rugged Aluminum Housing
The lightweight and low-profile SignalMaster HD was made for travel. Keep it in the studio or put it in your gear bag and take it with you to locations, remote broadcast or podcast venues, and presentations. The substantial aluminum chassis will take the dings and bumps of transport as well as the demands of a studio environment.
Camera and Tripod Mountable
Use the 1/4-20 mounting socket to mount the SignalMaster HD on a camera rig, tripod, or light stand. Keep it accessible and nearby, but away from clutter and busy hands. Locking SDI connectors and barrel power input ensure connections aren’t lost from accidental cable strain or tugs.
