INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the DVI to HDSDI Scaler Plus. Your
complete satisfaction is very important to us.

The Gefen DVI to HDSDI Scaler Plus

The Gefen DVI to HDSDI Scaler Plus combines SDI and DVI Equipment for
maximum Interoperability

It is the newest revision of our HDSDI conversion line incorporating single
link DVI-D conversion scaled to SD/HDSDI Single link modes. Resolutions of
up to 1080p are supported over the HDSDI link for those that want true “High
Defi nition.” Performance has been greatly enhanced due to Gennum’s VXP
Scaler onboard, allowing for new features such as Color and Gamma Correc­tion, Noise Reduction, Detail Enhancement, Aspect Ratio Selection, Pattern
Generator Mode, and Multiple Language Menu Support.

How It Works

DVI devices are connected to the DVI input and SDI devices are connected
to the SDI output. When the source, display and the Scaler are powered and
connected, video signals are converted to the proper format.
