Broadcaster’s Glue - joining up the dots

The MEJ, and its converse, the JEM, convert SDI to or from RGB or composite CVBS, within a 21pin Scart plug.

Broadcast Project Research (BPR) have a varied portfolio of useful and innovative tools for broadcast and video professionals.

The little JEM takes a SDI signal and converts it to RGB or Composite CVBS within a Scart socket. By bypassing the TV’s processing and directly driving the video output stage, this allows the use of a Scart equipped TV for exceptional monitoring quality at low cost. SDI monitor gone down? Nip out and buy a TV to “get you going again!”

The MEJ offers the reverse function - taking RGB or Composite from a SCART socket and converting it to SDI. This is especially useful for the highest quality monitoring of the output from a VCR, DVD player or Satellite decoder. Versions are also available that embed or de-embed audio, named JAM and MAJ, and all of these products can also be purchased as modular BNC I/O blocks or with customised I/O options (flying BNC leads etc). Contact us for more information.

Finally, we also offer a miniature converter that inputs Y/C (separated Luma/Chroma) data via a S-Video cable and converts it to SDI. Especially useful for Camcorders.
