MuxLab 500741 HDMI 2.0 to 12G-SDI Converter

MuxLab 500741 HDMI 2.0 to 12G-SDI Converter

The HDMI 2.0 to 12G-SDI Converter (Model 500741) from MuxLab is a compact, high-performance solution designed for seamlessly converting HDMI video signals into broadcast-grade SDI outputs. Whether you’re working in live events, broadcast production, post-production, medical imaging, or outside-broadcast vehicles, this converter ensures your HDMI-source - such as a camera or computer - can feed into SDI-based workflows with minimal delay, maximum reliability, and support for professional-level formats.

This unit accepts a single HDMI 2.0 input, while offering a local HDMI loop-out - ideal for monitoring - and up to four SDI outputs: one 12G-SDI output and three 6G-SDI outputs. This gives you flexible routing options across multiple SDI devices, enabling easy integration into SDI-based decks, monitors, recorders, or live-event distribution systems.

Supporting resolutions up to DCI/UHD 4K at 60 Hz, with embedded multi-channel (up to 8-channel) 24-bit audio, the 500741 ensures that both video and audio arrive at SDI destinations with full fidelity. The converter also offers auto-source format detection, making installation and use plug-and-play. For professional environments, it includes a mini-USB port for firmware upgrades and configuration via software, and its rugged metal housing with mounting brackets makes it deployment-ready for broadcast racks or field rigs.
