Chapter 1 – Introduction
Card Overview
The OG-12GM is a compact SDI transport openGear converter card that can solve
a wide range of UltraHD/4K equipment inter-connection problems. The product
will convert quad-link SDI signals to single-link SDI (Mux function) as well as
single-link SDI to quad-link SDI (Demux function).
The OG-12GM supports Two Sample Interleave (2SI) to Square Division (Quadrant)
and Square Division (Quadrant) to Two Sample Interleave (2SI) pixel mapping. The
OG-12GM also supports 3G-SDI Level A and Level B-DL.
The OG-12GM is configured using DashBoard by Ross Video, which also provides
detailed input and output signal diagnostic information.
