Can I use this to convert a signal from an HD-SDI CCTV surveillance camera to a consumer TV? I just need to run a single live feed.

Yes! As long as your TV has HDMI inputs, It should work perfectly for this since it is an SDI to HDMI converter. Just hook the camera's SDI to the converter, then take an HDMI cable from the converter to your tv's HDMI input. The converter will not work to convert analog RCA/BNC signals from older CCTV cameras. It will only work with HD-SDI CCTV cameras at NTSC SD, 720p, 1080i and 1080p signals.

Though I have not tried that, I don't see why not? There are several WI-FI based and hard wired single camera systems that do exactly what you want and are very inexpensive.

Hello Jeff, this machine does not fit your application, the device shown is RCA/BNC video converter to HDMI.graciouslyUmbertoBCE Electronics

Jeff, it works your application. As long as your TV has HDMI input it can converts a signal from HD-SDI CCTV camera to HDMI display.Thanks!Jerry

I have used it to convert the HD-SDI output of regular video cameras direct to TV with great success, I see no reason why it would not work with a security camera's HD-SDI output. As long as the output is in fact HD-SDI and not just a BNC composite output, I am virtually 100% SURE IT WOULD WORK.

Most likely yes. Not sure what resolution you are sending from the System, but it for sure works with 1080p and 1080i signals I have been using them for.

Yes, there is a BNC connector for the Analog CCTV DVR connection, but it's better to use a HD-SDI DVR to record this camera video image, it's 1080P camera afterall.

It should work as you desire; this is the intention of this product, to repeat a single AV input signal to multiple AV outputs. It repeats video and audio signal with good quality; I cannot notice the signal is being repeated. I use this equipment to feed a DVD recorder, an AV transmiter and a LCD TV with single signal from TV set top box.

I utilize my converter on my camera system. I have HDMI on my dvr and rca on two tv's connected to the converter. I had to connect the converter to the USB on my computer for power. Then ensure you select HDMI source on your tv. Also ensure you have ntsc selected on the converter. If this all fails, the converter might be bad.

I bought this to be able to get an internet signal. in theory that is what this is for, you can split the signal between two receivers in your home a Dvr and a regular receiver.

The design is a loop through. You should have no problems running your SDI cable to the input and then continuing your signal from the out connector to other downstream devices that also need SDI. And you still get an HDMI output

You shouldn't.... Was able to hook it up to TV with HDMI cable and use it as another monitor without changing the power supply. A webcam wouldn't be much of a power draw.

Everyone is correct. If you have an HDMI capture device then you can, but this would be an add-on card. Your better bet is an SDI to USB3 device like Magewell SDI dongle ($300). Stay away from Blackmagic for streaming. It works but is a pain to configure.

you need an item like this 2M BNC to RCA Male Coaxial Coax Video Cable M/M for CCTV Camera DVR then you can just plug it into your regular tv. if you get a closed caption monitor, it will have different hookups. I just used that cable to hook it up to a flat screen tv. hope it helps.

Note that I purchased this unit to be able to run the lone audio out (SPDIF) from my new TV into my older integrated Amp (RCA inputs only). The converter's input is SPDIF or Coaxial, output analog RCA and 3.5mm headphone. Not sure how you wish to configure from your question, can you provide more detail, please?

To be totally honest i don't know if that application is possible. I'm using it to mix the seperate hdtv channels of two seperate directional antennas. I'm not sure if there would be any interferance between the over the air feed and the catv feed. You might look for a coaxial switch simular to the ones used with video game systems. Good luck

no, it is for cameras. Maybe if the connectors were adapted, maybe. It would not be as functional as a dvr for satellite or cable.

No need for bnc unless your gonna feed through a cat 5I have it connected to windows media player I wouldn't anticipate any issues with CCTV hook up since camera is always powered on and delivering feed

Firstly, you should know what your camera video output connector is? It will works if your camera video output is BNC female or RCA female. Secondly, for security cameras, there are many different choices for power supply, like centralized power supply, 1-to-4 power supply, power shared with DVR.....so most professional installer will not choose individual power supply. Professional CCTV products are usually sold individually without power supply, or cables. You should check what type of camera requrie, then purchase the correct power. Otherwise, you will burn your camera.

No it didn't work for me at all. Looks like it just changes the physical connection but not the actual signal, since real converter boxes run $50+ http://sewelldirect.com/articles/HDMI-Converter.aspx

I guess you can. I haven't tried. I would do it where your dvr is first. Attach the two. Them hook up the camera to see if it works. And pic quality. They also sell 300 footers. The shielded cable work way better than the skinny black wires that come w the camera set up. I swapt all my wires out. But I always check before. On my property that's a lot of work to find out the shielded cable didn't work. Or work back to back. I have 16 cameras. And never had any problems. I switch out cameras also as time go on.

The answer to your question is yes. It gets its signal from a single video output of the camera controller. I am using mine with quad system.
