[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, a clear and complete description will be provided below in conjunction with the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0020] The preferred embodiment of this utility model includes an HDMI conversion circuit and device with SDI multiplexing function, such as... Figure 1 As shown, see also Figure 2 and Figure 3 Including SDI input interface ( Figure 1 SDI input 1), SDI input / loopout interface ( Figure 1 SDI input 2 / SDI loop-out), SDI equalization module ( Figure 1 SDI equalization module 1), SDI equalization / drive module ( Figure 1 10. SDI equalizer / driver module, 11. Control module, 12. SERDES module, 13. Video module, 14. First HDMI output module. Figure 1 HDMI output 1) and second HDMI output module ( Figure 1 HDMI output 2);

[0021] The SDI equalizer module, SDI equalizer / driver module, and video module are all connected to and controlled by the control module.

[0022] The SDI equalizer module and the SDI equalizer / drive module are connected to the SDI input interface and the SDI input / loopout interface, respectively.

[0023] The SERDES module is connected to both the SDI equalizer module and the SDI equalizer / drive module, and is used to adjust and switch input modes and loop-out modes.

[0024] Both the first and second HDMI output modules are connected to the video module for HDMI signal output.

[0025] By controlling the operation mode switching of the SDI equalizer module, SDI equalizer / drive module and video module through the control module, it is possible to realize the conversion output between SDI and HDMI and the switching between the states of SDI loop-out, thereby realizing the integration of two functions, which can meet a variety of usage scenarios, save structural space and save costs.

[0026] More specifically, the two modes are as follows:

[0027] Mode 1: SDI Input 1 to HDMI Output 1, SDI Input 2 to HDMI Output 2;

[0028] Mode 2: SDI Input 1 to HDMI Output 1, HDMI Output 2, SDI Input 1 loops out from SDI Input 2;

[0029] The working principle is as follows:

[0030] The control module is configured to operate in mode 1. When the SDI equalizer / drive module is in equalizer mode, SDI input 2 and SDI loop-out are used as inputs. The SERDES module is configured to configure all channels as inputs. At the same time, the control module notifies the video module to process the video according to the two-input mode. Finally, two independent and mutually converted video streams are output from HDMI output 1 and HDMI output 2.

[0031] When operating in mode 2, the SDI equalizer / drive module is configured to operate in drive mode. At this time, SDI input 2 / SDI loop-out is used as the loop-out of SDI input 1. The SERDES module is configured to send channel 0 in loop-out mode, looping out the video stream of SDI input 1. At the same time, the control module notifies the video module that it is in SDI input 1 and SDI input 1 loop-out mode. At this time, the video streams of HDMI1 output and HDMI2 output both come from SDI1 input.

[0032] It should be noted that the configuration of the above modules and the switching of working modes all use the functions inherent in the modes themselves, and do not involve any improvement to the computer software program.

[0033] As an example, the circuit for SDI input 1 can be adopted as follows: Figure 2 The circuit shown, the SDI input 2 / SDI loop-out circuit can be adopted as follows: Figure 2 The circuit shown is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the application of other existing circuit configurations.

[0034] Preferably, the SDI equalization module uses the LMH1239 chip. This model is only for illustrative purposes and is not intended to limit the scope. Those skilled in the art can also use a chip with the same function as the replacement.

[0035] Preferably, the SDI equalization / drive module uses the LMH1297 chip. This model is only for illustrative purposes and is not intended to limit the scope. Those skilled in the art can also use a chip with the same function as the replacement.

[0036] Preferably, the SERDES module uses a chip model XCAU15P. This model is only for illustrative purposes and is not intended to limit the scope. Those skilled in the art can also use a chip with the same function as the replacement.

[0037] Preferably, the control module uses the STM32F103 chip. This model is only for illustrative purposes and is not intended to limit the scope. Those skilled in the art can also use a chip with the same function as the control module.

[0038] An HDMI converter with SDI multiplexing function is provided, wherein the converter is provided with an HDMI converter circuit with SDI multiplexing function as described above.
