3 Overview 

The Kramer DigiTOOLS 

7408 SDI to Analog Converter

 is a high quality, 

full 10-bit SDI to Analog video converter in a Kramer Tool housing. The 

7408 SDI to Analog Converter

 is a multi-standard unit, converting 525-line 

SDI to NTSC or NTSC4.43, and 625-line SDI to PAL-B/D/G/H/I/N. 

The 

7408

 features: 

 

Reclocked and equalized SDI output (loop)  

 

4 times digital over sampling to minimize digital artifacts 

 

Output configuration to Composite Video and s-Video (Y/C), or 
component video (YUV) 

 

User-friendly Windows PC software, provided for ProcAmp 
control via RS-232 for adjusting parameters such as contrast, hue, 
saturation and sharpness  

 

NTSC encoding with or without a 7.5IRE setup 

 

A perforated cover to prevent overheating 

To achieve the best performance: 

 

Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding 
interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, 
and elevated noise levels (often associated with low-quality cables) 

 

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may 
adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer 

7408 

away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
