High-Quality HD Video Conversion
Our ADVC HD family supports virtually any high-definition (HD), video-conversion need. As standalone units or connected to a computer, all ADVC HD products feature broad compatibility with video equipment, sturdy construction, and standalone-operation capability.

The Grass Valley ADVC-HDSC1 converts HD-SDI signals to HD component output or SD-SDI signals to SD component output. It provides instant output of HD content to affordable HD component displays, such as TVs and RGB monitors-and standard-definition (SD) content to component, S-video, and composite displays. It has a sync generator for HD (tri-level sync) and SD (black burst), making it ideal for video editing studios-as well as audio-level-adjustment options.

The ADVC-HDSC1 unit also offers several unique features, including embedded audio support, SD-SDI to S-video and composite conversion, HD-SDI conversion to RGB for PC monitors with BNC inputs, and front-panel displays for video-format and audio-level outputs. As well, it automatically detects your current video output format, and supports SDI signal pass-through.
