INTRODUCTION

The HDSDI to HDMI Scaler is the newest revision of our HDSDI conversion line incor­porating SD/HDSDI Single or Dual link mode conversion scaled to HDMI. Resolutions
of up to 1080p are supported over the DVI link for those that want true “High Defi nition”.
Supports HDSDI with embedded audio and outputs a full HDMI video and audio signal.
Performance has been greatly enhanced due to Gennum’s VXP Scaler onboard; allow­ing for new features such as: Genlock, Color & Gamma Correction, Noise Reduction,
Detail Enhancement, Aspect Ratio Selection, Pattern Generator Mode, & Multiple Lan­guage Menu Support. Bottom Line? -- More performance, less cost.

SDI

SDI (serial digital interface), used primarily in broadcasting, converts and transmits digi­tal video through SDI connectors. It enables video sources to process high defi nition,
high quality video.

How it works

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