Overview
The OR-XDI is a rugged, portable, battery powered HDMI to SDI and SDI to HDMI cross converter. This
unit is designed for use with cameras that use an HDMI output to feed an external monitor while allowing
the same feed to be converted from HDMI to SDI with embedded audio, in order to deliver high definition
video and audio to camera assist, Directors, Producers and others in the video village that require a high
quality video feed. It can also be used the other way to take the 3G, HD, SD-SDI output from production
cameras to feed both the HDMI input of an external monitor while simultaneously feeding the 3G, HD,
SD-SDI to other locations and equipment. The OR-XDI can be powered via a wide variety of Marshall
Battery mounts, consumer type 12vDC EIA power adapter, or optional broadcast standard 4-pin XLR
power connection.
