Using Broadcast Converter
Installation
The Broadcast Converter is a standalone, bi-directional, digital-to-analog and analog-to-
digital converter.
The default settings allow SDI to analog conversion while simultaneously converting analog in to
SDI with both audio and video.
These defaults can be changed to various combinations of conversion options, and you can
choose which SDI audio pair are de-embedded or embedded into various audio connections
on the converter.
