1.0 INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this Format Converter from DVIGear. The model
DVI-3150a accepts DVI and S/PDIF digital audio input signals and converts
them into a single HDMI output signal. This product is ideal for applications
that require a DVI + digital audio signal to be displayed on HDMI compliant
displays. The DVI-3510a converts a single HDMI signal to a DVI output
signal with a separate S/PDIF digital audio. This unit is a perfect solution for
applications where an HDMI input signal must be connected to a display that
only accepts DVI + digital audio. Both products are fully HDCP compliant
and require that the display is also HDCP compliant. Our professional
video conversion products have been serving the industry for several years.
DVIGear offers a full line of high quality Video Scalers, Scan Converters,
Analog-Digital Converters and DVI/HDMI Converters, as well as Signal
Switchers and Distribution Amplifiers.

To begin, connect the External AC Power Adapter to the Format Converter’s
power input. Next connect the appropriate cables to the source device and then
the Format Converter. Finally, connect the output cables to the Format Converter
and to the destination device.

Once the cables have been connected, apply power to the source and destination
devices and then plug the External AC Power Adapter into an AC power source.
The Format Converter will begin to function as soon as it has power and an
image should be immediately visible.

5.0 OPERATING THE UNIT

adjustment. Simply connect the cables and power as explained above and
the device will convert whatever signal that is present on its input to the
complementary signal on its output.
