How It Works
Connect a Hi-Def source to the GefenPRO HDMI to 3GSDI Scaler with the
supplied HDMI cable. Connect the 3G-SDI device to the BNC video connectors
on the output. Use another coax cable to connect an external clock to the
Reference-In BNC connector. Connect a digital audio cable between the S/
PDIF connector on the product and the A/V receiver. Apply power to the source
and 3G-SDI device and apply power to the product. The Hi-Def source will be
converted to 3G-SDI. Use the IR remote control unit to navigate the built-in menu
system to control the scaling features on the 3G-SDI output.
