The Gefen 3GSDI to HDMI 1.3 Converter
The Gefen 3GSDI to HDMI 1.3 Converter will take any SDI, HD-SDI, or 3G-SDI
video signal and convert it to HDMI 1.3. The SDI input resolution will simply be
converted to an HDMI signal. DIP switches on the unit will allow the user to select
features such as Deep Color conversion and colorspace. A useful 720p (60Hz)
test pattern is also available, without connecting an SDI source, for checking the
HDMI video output. An SDI loop out and 2 channel analog audio outputs are also
provided for monitoring the input SDI source.
How It Works
The 3GSDI to HDMI 1.3 Converter will convert the input SDI signal (SD/HD/3G)
to an HDMI compatible signal. Connect the SDI source device to the video input
on the unit. Connect an HDMI compatible device on the video output on the unit.
Adjust DIP switch features and connect the power supply. It’s that simple.
