Throwdown Converters: Small Devices with Big Opportunities for Broadcasters

The NanoBrix line of throwdown converters offers a range of specific tools to solve the most common broadcast challenges.—Wed 10, 2025—

Picture this: you’re on location, working on a live event, and you need a quick, reliable way to get a video signal from one point to another. The pressure is on, and a complex, rack-mounted solution just isn’t an option. In these situations, the smallest tools can make the biggest difference.

At MultiDyne, we know that the success of a broadcast, from a live sports game to a news segment, relies on gear that works every single time. A glitch-free broadcast is what allows a brand to build trust. That’s why we designed the NanoBrix Series, a family of miniature, rugged throwdown converters built for the chaos of a live production. They’re proof that small devices can be your biggest problem solvers.

 

The Versatility of a Throwdown Converter

Throwdown converters are all about flexibility and getting the job done, no matter the situation. Whether you’re setting up a temporary signal path for a single event or need a permanent solution that fits in a tight space, these converters are a perfect fit. Think of them as the reliable workhorses of your broadcast kit. They handle every stage of your signal flow, making sure your video and audio move smoothly on and off fiber-optic networks.

If you’re dealing with a long cable run that’s degrading your signal, or you need to reclock a video source to clean it up, a NanoBrix converter is the tool you reach for. Our series includes various models designed for different needs, from converting 12G-SDI to managing audio streams with pinpoint accuracy.

 

What the NanoBrix Series Can Do

The NanoBrix line offers a range of specific tools to solve the most common broadcast challenges.

  • Signal conversion: Our converters can take different video standards and convert them so they can work together seamlessly. For example, some models can manage embedded audio downmixing, while our transceivers handle video and audio conversion to and from fiber optics.

  • Audio management: The quality of your audio is just as important as your video. Our de-embedders and embedders let you precisely manage audio streams, ensuring perfect synchronization and quality. We have specific models that handle professional audio inputs and outputs.

  • Signal distribution: When you need to split one signal to go to multiple places, our reclocking distribution amplifiers are essential. They ensure a single video source can be sent to multiple destinations without any loss in signal quality.

  • Fiber optic integration: For high-bandwidth video over long distances, fiber is a must. Our transceivers allow you to effortlessly send and receive high-resolution signals, with options for both 3G and 12G video and different connector types to match your setup.

 

Built for Reliability

The NanoBrix Series was designed to be tough. Its rugged, miniature form factor makes it easy to throw in a bag and deploy anywhere, from a cramped control room to a muddy sideline. We even offer a universal rackmount shelf with a redundant power supply, so you can integrate these small but mighty devices into a larger, permanent setup with confidence.

By choosing MultiDyne, you’re not just buying a product; you’re getting a partner who understands the demands of live broadcasting. We’re committed to providing the solutions you need to ensure your next production goes off without a hitch.
