TABLE OF CONTENTS

INTRODUCTION

Gefen's DVI to HD-SDI Single Link Scaler is the newest revision of our HDSDI
conversion line incorporating full single link DVI-D conversion scaled upto SD/HDSDI
single resolutions. 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 & Gamma
Correction, Noise Reduction, Detail Enhancement, Aspect Ratio Selection, Pattern
Generator Mode, & Multiple Language Menu Support. Bottom Line? -- More
performance, less cost.

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.

CONTENTS

(1) DVI to HD-SDI SL Scaler

(1) 6 foot DVI Cable (m-m)
(1) RMT-8HDS-IR Remote Control
