•HDMI source audio is converted to SDI audio only when the audio sampling rate is 48 KHz; other rates will produce unrecognizeable audio.

•Color spaces are automatically converted (RGB to YCbCr) and color subsampling (4:4:4 to 4:2:2) is automatically performed when using SDI equipment.

•When using SDI and HD-SDI equipment, outputs A and B are mirrored.

•The first 2 channels of HDMI audio embedded within the source signal are output on the L/R analog audio RCA connectors for monitoring purposes.
