1. Introduction
The SDI to HDMI converter allows SD-SDI, HD-SDI and 3G-SDI signals to be shown
on HDMI/SDI displays while ensuring high bit rates of 2.970 Gbit/s to give you fast
signal transmission without any loss. For professionals this means that it is now
easier to distribute and extend your 3G SDI signal while giving you the ability
to display your work on HDMI displays thanks to the built in HDMI converter.
Furthermore, thanks to the loop-through 3G-SDI design, users are able to enjoy
both SDI and HDMI displays at the same time.
2. Applications
• Connect to multiple displays by linking one 3G SDI Extender to another
through its SDI output port. When connected to another 3G SDI Extender,
you can broadcast a signal to two HDMI displays and one SDI display, or
connect to another Extender to provide more connections and a longer
operating distance.
• Convert 3G SDI to HDMI
