The GefenPRO HDMI 1.3 to 3GSDI Converter
The GefenPRO HDMI1.3 to 3GSDI Converter takes a single HDMI input signal
and converts it to SDI standard de nition, HD-SDI (single link only) high-
de nition, or 3G-SDI high-de nition with ultra high bandwidth. Converted HDMI
audio/video signals are output in SDI/HD-SDI/3G-SDI format on two SDI BNC
connectors with up to 8 channels of converted HDMI audio present in the output
signal.
A single pair of RCA-type L/R analog audio output jacks enables monitoring of
the rst two (2) audio channels embedded in the HDMI audio source signal.
LED indicators on the front and bottom of the unit provide HDMI and SDI signal
status for troubleshooting assistance in the event of errors.
How It Works
An HDMI source is connected to the HDMI input on the GefenPRO HDMI 1.3
to 3GSDI Converter. An SDI device is connected to the SDI outputs on the
Converter. The included power supply is connected to the GefenPRO HDMI
1.3 to 3GSDI Converter. When the HDMI source and the GefenPRO HDMI 1.3
to 3GSDI Converter are connected and powered on, audio/video signals are
converted to the proper format on connected A/V output devices (displays, audio
receivers).
A bank of dedicated DIP (Dual Inline Package) switches on the underside of the
unit allows control over features of the Converter, including Sampling, and Color
Space/Color Depth settings.
PC video input formats are not supported. This device does not scale video. Only
SMPTE formats are supported on the SDI outputs.
