Installation
Overview
The Extron HDSDI-ACR 100 converts a high definition (HD) serial
digital interface (SDI) input (SMPTE-292M) to either analog component
or RGB video. The converter supports the 720p, 1080i, and 1080p HDTV
rates. The 1080p rate is limited to a maximum 30 Hz refresh rate and
includes 1080p segmented frame 23.94/24. DIP switches select between
RGB and component video, and, for component video output, between
bi-level and tri-level sync, and sync on the Y output or on all outputs.
The Extron SDI-AVR 100 converts an SDI (4:2:2) video input at the
270 Mbs rate to analog video. When an SDI input is applied, the
converter produces simultaneous composite and S-video outputs, and
either component (Y, R-Y, and B-Y) or RGB video. A DIP switch selects
between a component or RGB video output. The SDI-AVR 100 accepts
NTSC, PAL, and Betacam (Beta 50/60), autodetects the format, and
deserializes the input. The converter can output NTSC or PAL color
bars, which are DIP switch selectable.

applications
The input signal is equalized for distances of 330 feet (100 meters)
(HDSDI-ACR 100) or 1000 feet (305 meters) (SDI-AVR 100) on high
quality cable such as Extron SHR cable. A reclocked loop-through
allows the HDSDI/SDI input to be sent to other equipment.
The user must select between an RGB or component video output using
a DIP switch. The converters output separate H and V sync signals and
composite sync simultaneously. Selecting the sync-on-green output
requires changing a DIP switch position.
The converters have internal switching power supplies.
Installation
1. For optional rack mounting, mount the converter on one side of a
19" 1U Universal Rack Shelf (Extron part #60-190-01) (figure 2).

b. Mount the SDI-AVR 100 on the rack shelf, using two 4-40 x
1/8 screws in opposite (diagonal) corners.
2. If desired, attach a false front panel or a second ½-rack-width
device to the other side of the shelf.
3. Attach the rack shelf to the rack using four 10-32 x ¾” bolts and
four #10 beveled dress washers.
