INTRODUCTION:
Atlona Technologies AT-3GSDI500 3G/HD/SD-SDI Signal Generator is an advanced SDI signal generator with
multi-format (3G/HD/SD) and multi-pattern support. Besides still and moving video test patterns, other features
such as audio (SMPTE-291M) are also provided. AT-3GSDI500 can support up to 8 channel AES compliant
audio with 48KHz sample rate. Another attractive feature of AT-3GSDI500 comes from bypassing HDMITH input
and allows users with more testing patterns for connected display or treats AT-3GSDI500 as an advanced
HDMITH to SDI converter with 3G capability. With portable size, AT-3GSDI500 is equipped four buttons and
LCM screen to ease the control. This device provides a cost effective way to calibrate and test SDI enable
video devices and displays.

EDID LEARNING:
1. Power off AT-3GSDI500 and set the pin 4 of DIP switch of AT-3GSDI500 to OFF [↓].
2. Connect the HDTV to the HDMITH port on the AT-3GSDI500, and then power on AT-3GSDI500.
3. The Lock LED on the AT-3GSDI500 will dim and light again, which indicates the EDID learning process is
done.
4. Connect AT-3GSDI500 to the HDMITH source through a HDMITH cable and enjoy the experience.

NOTICE:
1. In HDMITH bypass mode, users must be aware of that the jitters coming from HDMITH sources, such as DVD
players, may be much higher than typical requirement according to SMPTE request on HD-SDI signals. This
will result in SDI output with high jitters or even no SDI outputs!
2. Due to the high frequency bandwidth and low jitter requirement of 3G-SDI signals, for single SDI output
case, it is strongly recommended to use one 75 ohm terminator for the unused SDI output to keep the best
performance.

on or against them. Be especially careful of
plug-ins, or cord exit points from this product.
Avoid excessive humidity, sudden temperature
changes or temperature extremes.
Keep this product away from wet locations
such as b athtubs, sinks, la und rie s, w et
basements and swimming pools.
Doing so will void the warranty and safety
features.
This equipment should be installed near the
socket outlet and the device should be easily
accessible in case it requires disconnection.
Precautions
FCC Regulations state that any unauthorized
changes or modifications to this equipment
not expressly approved by the manufacturer
