Science Image Flow 4K 12G-SDI/HDMI 4K60 Up/Down/Cross Converter

FLOW 4K: A Comprehensive Solution for Broadcast Quality Video
The FLOW 4K is a compact, all-in-one frequency conversion and optical end machine. It comes equipped with built-in 12G-SDI and HDMI 4K60 optical modules, allowing bidirectional optical connectivity in the field. This versatile device offers up/down/cross conversion, UHD optical transceiver functionality, and an OLED display to show real-time operating status and information.

Up/Down/Cross Conversion
With support for at least 35 SMPTE standard formats, the FLOW 4K is an efficient 12G-SDI/HDMI2.0 interface up/down/cross converter. User-defined special formats can also be accepted for added flexibility.

UHD Optical Transceiver
The built-in 12G-SDI and HDMI 4K60 optical transceiver function allows the FLOW 4K to function as a two-way optical transceiver when used on site. The user can switch the sending or receiving function with one key. The transmission distance can reach 20KM.

Working Status at a Glance
The OLED display shows the important operating status and information of the box in real-time. Its rich content makes it easy to see what's happening, allowing for quick responses to changes.

Flexible Deployment
The FLOW 4K can be deployed on the front end or display/control terminal, depending on the scene. It functions as an SDI/HDMI bidirectional converter while the optical transceiver works. One machine for multiple purposes, reducing system cost, fast response, flexibility, and convenience.

Broadcast Quality
The FLOW 4K supports 12G-SDI/HDMI 2.0 and SMPTE/ITU broadcast level international standard formats and specifications, including 444, 422, 420, and other sampling formats. It uses Selinth FPGA SOC hardware and internal logic design, embedded Linux system, and performs like a rock, impervious to the environment.

Compatibility and Stability
The FLOW 4K is compatible with SMPTE standard video source formats and video sources and formats of different devices from manufacturers worldwide. It is compatible with different software platforms, browsers, and other peripheral application environments, making it truly plug-and-play. It is designed with industrial standards in mind, ensuring long-term stability.
