Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the MD‐CROSS HDMI / (3G/HD/SD)‐SDI Cross Converter.
The MD‐CROSS is a truly portable converter, which incorporates our new easy to use LCD and button
control system. This gives you easy access to all of the amazing features that have been unavailable
without a computer until now. The days of having to play with complicated dip switches or having to
carry around a computer to change a simple setting are gone.
The MD‐CROSS features the following four modes:
1. HDMI to SDI while simultaneously converting SDI to HDMI
2. HDMI to HDMI while simultaneously converting SDI to SDI
3. HDMI to SDI and HDMI
4. SDI to SDI and HDMI
The MD‐CROSS includes the same Down Up Cross Converter from our multi‐award winning MD‐DUCC,
allowing either the HDMI or SDI input to be scaled and/or frame rate converted to the required
standard.
The MD‐CROSS includes the Professional 3G/HD/SD Test Pattern Generator featuring:
 26 Selectable Output Formats
 54 Test Patterns including Luma and Chroma Zone‐plates
 Audio Test Tone Generator

 (3G/HD/SD)‐SDI Active Loop‐Through Output
