The Next Generation of Video Conversion

Building on the legendary reliability of the DAC-70, the Datavideo DAC-45 is a comprehensive 4K up/down/cross converter designed for the most demanding modern workflows. Equipped with a built-in super resolution engine, it can take legacy signals as low as 720 x 480 and intelligently upscale them to crisp Ultra HD 4K. Whether you are integrating older SD equipment or cutting-edge 4K displays, the DAC-45 ensures your video signal is always optimized for its destination.

Professional Synchronization and Control

Precision is at the heart of the DAC-45. With the addition of a reference input (Genlock), this unit supports both Black Burst and Tri-Level Sync, making it an essential component for multi-camera live productions and broadcast studios. Users can easily manage settings via the physical DIP switches for plug-and-play operation or utilize the free DAC-45 Center Utility software for granular control over video and audio parameters.

Comprehensive Format Flexibility

The DAC-45 serves as a master bridge between IT and Broadcast standards. It effortlessly handles i/p (interlaced to progressive) conversions and supports both 3G-SDI Level A and B. By supporting 4:2:2 video processing, it ensures that color accuracy remains uncompromised during the conversion process. Its intuitive LED indicators provide immediate visual feedback on power, source selection, and output format (4K, 3G, HD, or SD), so you are never left guessing in the middle of a production.

Built for the Modern Production Rack

Reliability meets versatility in the DAC-45’s rugged design. It features an "audio lock" function to ensure sound remains perfectly synced after conversion, preventing the common lip-sync issues found in lesser converters. With its wide array of inputs including VGA, HDMI 2.0, and 3G-SDI, the DAC-45 is the ultimate problem-solver for staging, houses of worship, and corporate AV environments where format mismatches are common.
