the active loop out port.
  The SDI to HDMI Converter/Extender has a fiber output that is fully 
compatible  with  our  Velocity  line  of  receivers  as  well  as  our  VX  routers  for  a  comprehensive 
conversion and extension solution.  Not only does it convert and scale video signals in real-
time, it also provides the highest quality images for professional audio-visual end users. 

 

Each SDI to HDMI Converter system includes the following features: 

 

Conversion/Scaling: 

  Input: SD, HD, 3G SDI 

  Output: 1920x1200p60, 1080p50, 1080p60, 720p50, 720p60, 576p50, 480p60. 

  Fiber optic output compatible with Thinklogical Velocity Receivers 

  SDI  embedded  audio  conversion  to  HDMI  output  and  compatible  with  Thinklogical 

Velocity Receivers 

  User Control via RS-232 and Ethernet

  Active SMPTE compliant loop out port 

  Automatic Video Input Detection 

  Additional manual resolution selection via push buttons 

Video Processor Features: 

  Per  pixel  motion-adaptive  video  noise  reduction-  removes  the  white  Gaussian  noise 

present in most types of video 

  Content adaptive block and mosquito noise reduction- significantly reduces the blocking 

and mosquito noise artifacts present in compressed video 

  Advanced  per-pixel,  motion-adaptive,  edge-adaptive  3D  de-interlacing  with  support  for 

arbitrary film cadences- removes “jaggies” and “feathering” to produce smooth and clear 
images 

  Adaptive scaling- produces sharp and clean images and low or high resolutions 

  Natural dept expansion- enhances details and sensation of depth for greater realism and 

super resolution effect 

  Adaptive  contrast  enhancement  (ACE)  brings  out  shadow  detail  without  crushing  mid-

tones or highlights 

  Intelligent color remapping (ICR)

 

enables vivid color without hue shifts and clipping while 

maintaining accurate flesh tone 

  Qdeo™ true color- a unique solution for using the full dynamic range of 10-bit and 12-bit 

displays which eliminates contouring seen when viewing typical 8-bit consumer video
