Introduction

The DAC-50S converts the digital HD-SDI video input to one of the following analog output combinations: one component (YUV) output + one composite (CV) output; one S-Video (Y/C) output + two composite (CV) outputs, with both of which paired with two analog audio outputs (R and L).

The outputs can be easily connected to analog video monitor or deck devices such as BataCAM and VHS. The DAC-50S is also able to scale down the signal to connect analog output ports to SD analog equipment.

The DAC-50S provides an SDI Loop-thru output, which makes it suitable for more different applications. It further outputs one pair of analog audio channels selected from 16 de-embedded SDI audio channels (Selection is determined by DIP switch settings).

The DAC-50S is housed in a rugged aluminum frame, making it durable enough to endure even in the roughest conditions. It is also suitable for 2U rack mount kit of RMK-2 on standard rack, and fits the battery holder of MB-4.

Features

• Converts 3G/HD-SDI input to analog video and 2 unbalance analog audio channels

• Two available output combinations: o one analog component (YUV) output + one composite (CV) output o one analog S-Video (Y/C) output + two composite (CV) outputs

• Supports NTSC / PAL output

• Define de-embedded audio channels sent to analog audio outputs via a

DIP switch

• Solid aluminum housing that fits the 2U rack mount kit of RMK-2 and battery holder of MB-4

Frequently-Asked Questions

This section describes problems that you may encounter while using DAC-50S. If you have questions, please refer to related sections and follow all the suggested solutions. If problem still exists, please contact your distributor or the service center.

No. Problems

1. Serious color bar noise is seen on the output end of the DAC-50S if the SDI-IN source is a 100% color bar.

Solutions

DAC-50S does not support 100% color bar and downgrading it to 75% will solve this issue.
