OVERVIEW
The Multivert, a 10 channel composite encoder, was designed for monitor wall applications where
multiple SDI component video signals need to be converted to composite analog. With all ten encoders
and both power supplies mounted inside the compact 1RU chassis, the Multivert proves itself to be a
much better alternative to the use of expensive dongle based converters that use wall mounted or brick
based power supplies. Each of the ten channels has two composite analog video outputs as well as a
single regenerated SDI component video output.
The Multivert is a compact 1RU, 7.75 inches deep rack mountable frame with both front and rear panel
LED status displays for each of its ten channels. Thanks in part to its compact size; the Multivert is
capable of being mounted in the rear of the monitoring wall equipment rack. Further, by having status
LED's on both the rear panel as well as the front panel, it allows the cables to be installed facing the
rear of the rack thus providing for both status monitoring as well as convenient cabling.
Having the Multivert mounted in the rear of the monitor racks eliminates the need for long analog cable
runs from modular converters in the equipment rack room to the monitors, thus eliminating the need for
analog equalizing DA's.
