BT601 Pro SDI DVD Modification DIY Kit 

BT601 Pro SDI Modification kit taps into the SDI digital video signal generated by the MPEG decoders of DVD players or set-top boxes to SDI (Serial Digital Interface) signal.  Players modified can be connected to popular scalers for upconversion of the digital video signal in order to avoid unnecessary digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversions which will cause video quality loss. SDI can keep digital signal digital, from the source to the video processor/scaler then to the digital displays, i.e. the highest video picture quality.

SDI BT601 is used for DVD Player model Philips 963SA and Denon 3910.

Warning: It is assumed that the users have fully understood the pin assignment of the MPEG2 decoder and have the skill to do the modification.  Pixelmagic and Digital Connection is not responsible for any damage caused during the modification.  Purchase of this item will be accepted as an affirmation to the above that you understand and agree to the terms of sale.
