Overview
The KanexPro next generation of HDMI to SDI converters are designed for converting single –HDMI signal into two 3G-SDI, HD-SDI signals in professional applications involving broadcasting, post –production and filming. It auto detects input signals converting the output resolution to correct format.
Applications:
Perfect for broadcasting from HDMI sources such as HDMI cameras and laptops to SDI displays. Used in surveillance systems, rental & staging facilities, post-production, TV studio, digital cinema, or other A/V applications.

What SDI standards does the SDI-HDSDXPRO output, and does it auto-switch between them?
It converts a single HDMI input to SD-SDI (SMPTE 259M), HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M), and 3G-SDI (SMPTE 424M/425M) on its two SDI BNC outputs, and automatically switches between SD, HD, and 3G-SDI standards based on the input signal.
What video resolutions and frame rates are supported?
Supported resolutions are SD 525i/625i, HD 720p at 24/25/30/50/60Hz, 1080i at 50/60Hz, 1080p at 24/25/30/50/60Hz, and 2K at 2048x1080 24p/30p, with conversion to SMPTE 425M Level A 1080p 50/59.94/60Hz at 4:2:2 10-bit.
How is EDID handled by this converter?
A 3-pin DIP switch controls EDID behavior: pin ON (up) selects the default EDID, and pin OFF (down) puts the unit into EDID learning mode, which reads the EDID from a connected HDMI monitor.
How do I run the EDID learning process?
Turn off the unit with the EDID DIP pin pulled down (OFF), connect a TV or monitor through the HDMI port, then power the unit on. The status LEDs cycle through a start-to-finish sequence to confirm EDID learning is complete, after which the HDMI source can be connected.
What is included in the box?
The package includes the HDMI to SDI converter, a DC power supply, and an operation manual.
What are the physical dimensions and mounting options?
The manual's Mechanical table lists a housing dimension of 4.09 in (L) x 2.49 in (W) x 1.02 in (H) (104mm x 63.3mm x 26mm); the unit ships with a locking power supply and mounting ears for rack or surface mounting.
Do I need a specific coaxial cable type for SDI output?
Yes. RG6 or RG59 (75 Ohm) coaxial cable is required for SDI transmission; KanexPro recommends a high quality 75 Ohm coaxial cable such as RG59 for best results.
The LED indicators show an unexpected format after connecting a source. What does that mean?
With the LED Mode DIP pin OFF, the SD/HD/3G/HDCP LEDs indicate the detected resolution per the LED table (for example, only the HDCP LED lit indicates no supported signal is detected). Confirm the source resolution matches a supported mode and that the HDMI cable is properly seated.
What deployment scenarios suit the SDI-HDSDXPRO?
Its compact, ruggedized housing and built-in re-clocking make it suited for mobile broadcasting, post-production, and filming setups that need to convert a single HDMI source into two SDI loop-through feeds for duplication or downstream broadcast equipment.
Why does built-in re-clocking and equalization matter for broadcast applications?
Re-clocking and equalization clean up and retime the outgoing SDI signal, helping it drive longer coaxial cable runs to downstream broadcast or recording equipment with a stable signal.
