The Decimator MD-HX Miniature HDMI/SDI Cross Converter has just received a major UCP software update, bringing a significant expansion in capability and making this already popular converter even more powerful for broadcast, production, live events, and on-set workflows.
Available now through UCP V3.0.4, this update goes far beyond minor tweaks. It transforms the MD-HX into a much more complete signal conversion, monitoring, and diagnostic tool, giving users more flexibility and more control in a single compact unit.
One of the biggest improvements is expanded format compatibility. The update adds VESA input support on HDMI, support for additional 2K formats, and greater flexibility when working with computers, cameras, and non-broadcast sources. This makes the MD-HX an even better fit in hybrid production environments where a wide range of signal types need to be managed quickly and reliably.
Decimator has also added built-in test and diagnostic tools, including a video test pattern generator and audio test tone generator. These new features make setup, troubleshooting, and system verification much easier, without the need to carry additional external testing equipment.
Monitoring has also been taken up a level with advanced on-screen overlays now available. Users can access audio meter overlays, graticule overlays, UMD or custom text overlays, and format status displays. These additions make the MD-HX far more useful for real-time monitoring in both studio and field applications.
With this update, the MD-HX becomes much more than just a converter. It now serves as a complete signal utility platform that can convert, generate, monitor, and diagnose within one compact and highly practical device.
Best of all, this update is free for existing users and can be installed on compatible MD-HX units with serials starting with CLD, CLE, and CLF.
If you already own an MD-HX, this is a worthwhile upgrade. If you are looking for a compact and incredibly versatile signal tool, the Decimator MD-HX remains one of the smartest additions to any professional video workflow.
