I. Introduction
The SDI to AV scaler converter allows SD-SDI, HD-SDI and 3G-SDI signals to be shown
on CRT or HDTV whil e ensuri ng high bit rat es of 2.970 Gbit/s to give y ou fast sig nal
transmission without any loss. For professionals this means that it is now easier to
distri bute and exte nd your 3G SD I signal while giving y ou the abili ty to displa y your
work on TV tha nk s to the bui lt in thi s conve rter. Furt her more, t hank s to t he loo p-th rough
3G-SDI design, users are able to enjoy both SDI and AV at the same time.
II. Features
