ADTECHNO - Dante AV Ultra to 12G-SDI / HDMI Decoder

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Converts a received Colibri-based Dante AV Ultra programme to SDI and HDMI for display, monitoring or integration with broadcast equipment. Two SDI and two HDMI outputs provide simultaneous copies of the received programme rather than four independent decoded channels. Supports video up to 4K60 with subframe latency. HDMI output resolution adjustment and HDCP revision conversion assist display compatibility. A 2-inch IPS screen provides preview, audio meters and settings access, while a headphone output supports local audio checks.

The Dante environment allows audio, video and supported control signals to be routed independently, helping integrators distribute a programme to the required endpoints without duplicating the physical source. Matching Colibri-based Dante AV Ultra endpoints are required for video interoperability.

Local preview and audio monitoring help technicians check signals during commissioning and operation. The front-panel rotary control provides access to Dante settings such as sampling rate and latency. This combination suits installed AV and production environments where signal visibility at the device is useful.

FORMAT LIMITATIONS AND NETWORK REQUIREMENTS
• YCbCr 4:2:0 is not supported.
• 4K is supported in 8-bit only.
• 576p is displayed in a 4:3 aspect ratio.
• SDI supports YCbCr 4:2:2 only.
• 3G-SDI supports Level A only.
• Use a compatible Colibri-based Dante AV Ultra encoder for video transport.
• Use a managed 1GbE network configured for multicast, IGMP snooping/querier and QoS.
• Supported output formats also depend on the source signal and connected display or SDM host.
