The GefenPRO 3GSDI to 3GSDI Scaler
The GefenPRO 3GSDI-2-3GSDIS provides high-performance scaling - including adjustable
cadence detection, frame rate conversion, detail enhancement, and advanced noise
reduction.
It works with SDI, ED-SDI, HD-SDI, or 3G-SDI signals and supports resolutions up to
1080p Full HD and 2048 x 1080 (2K).
This product can be used as a standalone frame synchronizer without scaling if desired.
When frame synchronization is required, the video output of one source (or a reference
signal) can be used to Genlock another input source. Genlock Mode, as well as all features
of this scaler, can be controlled through the built-in menu system using the IR Remote
Control or via RS-232 control.
How It Works
Connect SDI source devices to the SDI inputs and connect downstream equipment to the
SDI outputs. Convenient SDI loop-through output connectors and an RCA Coax (S/PDIF)
audio output allow monitoring of SDI video and audio. An external Genlock source may also
be connected.
Configuration may be done using the IR Remote and the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu,
or via the RS-232 port. A USB port is also provided for future firmware upgrades.
