INTRODUCTION

Gefen's DVI to HD-SDI Conversion Box is a universal DVI-D / SDI (HD and SD) 
converter. It converts DVI-D to SDI (SD or HD digital YPbPr). It automatically detects 
the input scan rate and supports a wide variety of video formats including PAL, NTSC, 
720p, 1080p, 1080i. 

The DVI to HD-SDI Conversion Box is an easy to use plug-and-play box that allows the 
use of much lower priced DVI video sources for SD and HD pictures on SDI displays. 
Set-up and operation are easy as they should be. But to ensure that the images look 
good always, Gefen has focussed attention on the technical detail of the many facets of 
the conversion process.

 - Accurate spatial interpolation for clear sharp rendition of static images
 - Advanced de-interlace processing for clear, accurate output of moving images
 - Temporal processing for smoother frame rate conversion
 - Small size, low power consumption

The SDI output of the DVI to HD-SDI Conversion Box makes it a full featured scan 
converter that can take DVI-D and convert it to SD-SDI or HD-SDI based on an output 
selection. So you can convert from NTSC to PAL, from PAL to NTSC, from NTSC to 
1080i, from RGB to 1080i, etc….
