1 SDM-874p SD/HD Serial Digital to DVI Converter

1.1 Introduction

The SDM-874p is a miniature digital video interface, converting
SDI/HDSDI video signals to Digital RGB (DVI-HDTV). It provides
automatic input scan rate detection and supports a wide variety
of input formats, including 525i, 625i, 720p, 1080i and 1080p.
The primary application is to convert SD/HD serial digital video to
Digital RGB to feed DVI-HDTV displays and projectors (CRT,
LCD, Plasma, DLP, D-ILA, etc.). In order to support the
emerging popularity of 24p equipment and displays, the SDM­874p outputs DVI-D with selectable 3:2 sequence insertion. The
SDM-874p is compatible with any 1280x768 or 1920x1200
native resolution display, including the Apple Cinema Display.
