HSD-450
HDMI to 2x SDI converter with re-clocking for lossless Full HD distribution
Bring any HDMI source onto professional SDI infrastructure: the HSD-450 converts one HDMI input to two simultaneous SDI outputs in Full HD 1080p — with re-clocking for long cable runs and dependable 24/7 operation.

Overview
The VIZOBOX HSD-450 is a compact professional converter that transforms an HDMI signal into two parallel SDI outputs, supporting Full HD 1080p via 3G-SDI as well as 1080i/720p (HD-SDI) and 576i/480p (SD-SDI). A pure hardware design with automatic input standard and format detection, low SDI jitter and SDI re-clocking compensates long cable runs without loss of video quality — up to 200 m in HD-SDI and 140 m in 3G-SDI. Housed in a robust aluminum enclosure with broadcast-grade circuit design, it is built for continuous 24/7 operation.
