AJA UDC Up/Down/Cross-Converter - UDC-R0
The UDC is a broadcast quality Up/Down/Cross Mini-Converter which can convert between 3G, HD, and SD video formats. Using the same AJA industry-leading conversion technology as in our FS2, the UDC provides very high-quality conversions at a low price. I/Os include 3G/HD/SD SDI input and output, HDMI output, and 2-channel RCA style audio output. The UDC can be controlled by local DIP switches with additional control available via USB and AJA's MiniConfig application. A Reference input allows the UDC to be locked to a local reference.
