INTRODUCTION

Gefen's DVI to HD-SDI Conversion Box is a universal DVI-D / SDI (HD and SD)
converter. It converts DVI-D to SDI (SD or HD digital YPbPr). It automatically detects
the input scan rate and supports a wide variety of video formats including PAL, NTSC,
720p, 1080p, 1080i.

The DVI to HD-SDI Conversion Box is an easy to use plug-and-play box that allows the
use of much lower priced DVI video sources for SD and HD pictures on SDI displays.
Set-up and operation are easy as they should be. But to ensure that the images look
good always, Gefen has focussed attention on the technical detail of the many facets of
the conversion process.

- Accurate spatial interpolation for clear sharp rendition of static images

- Advanced de-interlace processing for clear, accurate output of moving images

- Temporal processing for smoother frame rate conversion

- Small size, low power consumption
The SDI output of the DVI to HD-SDI Conversion Box makes it a full featured scan

converter that can take DVI-D and convert it to SD-SDI or HD-SDI based on an output
selection. So you can convert from NTSC to PAL, from PAL to NTSC, from NTSC to
1080i, from RGB to 1080i, etc….
