Enabling HDMI output scaling on Decimator 2 for wireless video transmission compatibility
13 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The Decimator 2 does not output scaled signals via HDMI by default and requires configuration through the control panel software to enable this feature.
- HDMI scaling can be enabled through the Decimator control panel by checking a scaling option checkbox and selecting the desired output format such as 1080i 59.97.
- Most HDMI devices do not properly support PSF format even though HDMI cables and some devices can technically convert between PSF and interlaced formats.
- Enabling HDMI scaling on the Decimator 2 can be done without selecting PSF conversion options and still function properly.
- Some scaling configuration options on the Decimator may introduce frame delays, though factory defaults typically do not cause noticeable latency.
Depends on
- The specific scaling settings that cause frame delay were not identified in this discussion.
- The claim about PSF conversion causing issues with certain cameras is based on limited personal experience rather than comprehensive testing.
- This setup uses HD-SDI to SDI conversion as an intermediate step and may not apply to all signal path configurations.
