SDI output from a BMC 4K camera requires a converter box to produce composite video suitable for older Steadicam monitors
The Decimator is a suitable SDI to composite video converter that also provides HDMI output
Other manufacturers like Blackmagic and AJA make SDI converters, but some do not offer both composite and HDMI outputs simultaneously
The Decimator operates at frame rates including 24p and 25p
The Decimator requires external power and does not include an internal battery or DC power cables
The Decimator uses a 2.1mm DC plug connector for power input
Power can be supplied to the Decimator through a D-tap cable with an appropriate adapter connector
The Decimator may be powered by the DC output from a Steadicam Pilot
