The Gefen HDSDI to DVI Scaler

The HDSDI to DVI Scaler is the newest revision of our HD-SDI conversion line
incorporating SD/HD-SDI mode conversion scaled to DVI-D. Resolutions of up to
1080p are supported over the DVI 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

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