Chapter 1: HA5 Mini-Converter Overview The HA5 Mini-Converter converts HDMI to SD or HD-SDI. Up to eight channels of HDMI audio are embedded into the SDI/HD-SDI output allowing a convenient single cable audio/video connection. The HA5 provides two SDI/HD-SDI outputs and supports long HDMI cables on the input. The HA5 is useful for connecting HDMI cameras and other sources to SDI/HD-SDI capture cards and equipment.
HA5 Simplified Block Diagram HDMI IN SDI ou t 1 HDMI Cable Equalizer HDMIteReceiver xt HDMItext Processing Embed text Audio SDI ou t 2 Audio Sample Rate text Co nverter Jumper #1 (not installed) Audio HA5 Mini-Converter supports 8 audio channels (4 stereo pairs) at 24-bit/48 KHz which it dis-embeds from HDMI and embeds into SDI. For proper embedding, audio must be synchronous to video. However, if audio is not synchronous with video or the sample rate is not 48 KHz, then jumper #1 must be installed.
User Controls An internal jumper block (J2) with 3 jumpers provides controls for SDI output range and SDI audio. The Color Space is automatically detected to be either YCbCr, which is passed to SDI unmodified, or RGB—which can be a narrow or wide range before output to SDI. Each setting is described in the table below. Table 1.
