3 AJA RH10MD HD Down Converter and DA User Manual
Introduction
The RH10MD is a 10-bit broadcast quality HD down converter and HD-SDI
distribution amplifier. Provided are 4 re-clocked HD-SDI outputs, and four
down-converted SD outputs. The SD outputs can be individually configured as
analog or SDI—and the analog outputs can be component or composite.
All HD formats are supported by the RH10MD, including 24p/psf with 3:2
pulldown. The input format suppled to the RH10MD is auto-detected—no
configuration is necessary.
Serial digital output can be formatted for either 4:3 or 16:9 monitors. When
used with 4:3 monitors, both Letterbox and Crop modes are supported.
The RH10MD is dual-rate (HD/SD) and supports SDI inputs. Four-channel AES
embedded audio is passed through to the SDI outputs.
The RH10MD is compatible with AJA's FR1 and FR2 frames.
