Apantac Launches 4K Converters

Apantac, provider of multiviewers, video walls, extenders, and signal processing solutions, is launching its new family of 4K converters.

These 4K conversion solutions are ideal for a vast variety of broadcast and professional audio visual applications, including mobile outside broadcast, events, rental and staging, video wall applications, multiviewer applications, and 4K production, the company says. They are part of Apantac's CRESCENT line of signal processing solutions.

The Micro-4K: 4K to HD Down-Converter down-converts professional 4K/UHD signals to HD for supporting 4K on both HD and HDMI devices. The Micro-4K supports four 3G-SDI inputs, which are down-converted to both HDMI and SDI simultaneously, with outputs up to 1080P. UHD sources can now affordably be viewed on inexpensive LCD monitors or routed in the existing 3G infrastructure, making this an ideal solution for 4K broadcast and mobile production.

The Micro-4K supports embedded SDI and HDMI audio, supports eight channels of embedded audio, and offers a stereo analog audio output.

The Micro-4K-DP provides an affordable solution for viewing 4K content on monitors that use Display Port 1.2 (DP 1.2). Display Port is a display interface that is an alternative to HDMI. Display Port is capable of displaying 4K UHD resolution up to 3840x2160 at 60 Hz. The Micro-4K-DP is an ideal solution for both 4K production and post-production applications.
