This converter can convert both analog and digital signals for video and audio in both directions.
The 10 Gb/s PCI Express technology has 25 times faster bandwidth than FireWire, ensuring smooth and responsive editing. With two models to choose from, Multibridge supports editing, designing, and painting in HD, SD, and 2K at 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 video quality. The models have SDI, HDMI, and analog video input and output connections making them compatible with any SDI, HDMI, or analog broadcast deck, camera, or monitor.
Multibridge converters support Dual Link SDI and 3 Gb/s SDI with the ability to capture and play back 4:4:4 video. Multibridge Eclipse models support a massive 12 channels of AES/EBU digital audio on balanced XLR connectors, while Multibridge Pro offers eight channels of AES/EBU digital audio on a multi-pin DB-25 connector. All models have sample rate converters on AES/EBU inputs for the widest plug-and-play audio compatibility, and they include two-channel RCA audio outputs for low-cost HiFi monitoring.
Multibridge Eclipse and Multibridge Pro boast high-speed 3 Gb/s SDI connections, the latest version of the SDI video standard that allows a 4:4:4 RGB and 2K film connection with a single BNC type connection. This technology runs twice the data rate of normal HD-SDI video, switching instantly between traditional standard definition and high definition SDI. 3 Gb/s SDI enables a full resolution 2K feature film quality 24 fps 2048 x 1556 capture and playback.
Multibridge models turn into a bidirectional broadcast video and audio converter when disconnected from the PCI Express cable. Simultaneously convert from digital to analog and analog to digital with selectable audio embedding and de-embedding. These connectors are ideal for analog decks like Betacam SP or as an addition to the editing system for the ultimate break-out box. Overall, Multibridge converters are ideal for connecting analog equipment to SDI-based digital systems, making them perfect for film production workflows.
