SeeEyes SC-MHC01

Broadcast-grade HD-SDI to HDMI and composite video conversion in a rugged, ultra-compact aluminum chassis. The SC-MHC01 accepts SMPTE 292M/259M signals, de-interlaces and scales up to 1080p, and outputs simultaneous HDMI and CVBS for monitoring or legacy integration. With a 9–36V DC wide-range input and just 3W typical draw, it’s built for field, studio, and industrial use.

Overview

The SeeEyes SC-MHC01 is a professional SDI-to-HDMI/CVBS converter designed for reliable signal conversion in broadcast, AV, and surveillance environments. It features one HD-SDI input with loop-through, one HDMI Type A output, and one composite video (RCA) output. The unit supports SDI input resolutions up to 1080p30 and automatically scales to HDMI up to 1080p, while the CVBS output provides NTSC or PAL (480i/576i) for legacy displays. Embedded SDI audio is extracted and passed to HDMI. Configuration is via an on-screen display (OSD) menu or DIP switches, and LED indicators show power and SDI lock status.
