The Gefen HDMI 1.3 to 3GSDI Converter
The Gefen HDMI1.3 to 3GSDI Converter takes a single HDMI input signal and
converts it to its equivalent SDI/HD-SDI/3G-SDI format (either SDI standard
defi nition, HD-SDI (single link only) high-defi nition, or 3G-SDI high-defi nition with
ultra high bandwidth. Converted SDI/HD-SDI/3G-SDI signals are output on two
BNC output connectors. A single pair of RCA-type L/R analog audio output jacks
enables monitoring of embedded HDMI audio via an external analog amplifi er or
receiver.
LED indicators on the front and bottom of the unit provide HDMI and SDI signal
status for troubleshooting assistance in the event of errors.
How It Works
An HDMI source is connected to the HDMI input on the HDMI 1.3 to 3GSDI
Converter. An SDI device is connected to the SDI outputs on the Converter. The
included power supply is connected to the HDMI 1.3 to 3GSDI Converter. When
the HDMI source and the HDMI 1.3 to 3GSDI Converter are connected and
powered on, audio/video signals are converted to the proper format on connected
A/V output devices (displays, audio receivers).
A bank of dedicated DIP (Dual Inline Package) switches on the underside of the
unit allows control over features of the Converter.
Note: In accordance with HDCP regulations, HDCP encrypted HDMI sources will
not be converted and output via the SDI connectors.
PC video input formats are not supported. This device does not scale video. Only
SMPTE formats are supported on the SDI outputs.
Sampling, Color Space/Color Depth and EDID Management settings are made
via a bank of DIP switches underneath the unit.
