The HDMI to 3G SDI Converter/Extender® with the fiber output option is fully compatible with the Thinklogical SDI Xtreme 3G+® line of receivers for a comprehensive conversion and extension solution. The SDI Xtreme 3G+ Extension version includes a Serial port (RS-422) and has the option using Single­Mode or Multi-Mode over one or two fibers.
HDMI to 3G SDI Converter/Extender (with SDIXtreme3G+ Extension Option) rear panel view
Each HDMI to 3G SDI Converter system includes the following features:
Conversion/Scaling:
• Video Input: HDMI, DVI
• Audio Sources: HDMI embedded (up to 8 channels), Balanced analog (single stereo pair),
Balanced digital AES (single stereo pair)
• Video Output: SD-SDI (SMPTE 259M-C), HD-SDI (SMPTE 292), 3G (SMPTE 424M, 425 Level A and B)
• Audio Outputs: SDI embedded (up to 8 channels)
• Fiber optic output compatible with Thinklogical’s® SDI Xtreme 3G+ Receivers
• User Control via front panel, RS-232 and Ethernet (See page 11)
• Device Control via front panel, RS-422 for Camera Controller, PTZ, etc. (See pg. 11)
• Front panel LCD with encode knob
• SMPTE standards supported: 259M-C, 292, 424M, 425 level A and level B
• Genlock capable
• Automatic video input detection
Video Processor Features:
• Per pixel motion-adaptive video noise reduction- removes the white Gaussian noise present in most types of video
• Content adaptive block and mosquito noise reduction- significantly reduces the blocking and mosquito noise artifacts present in compressed video
• Advanced per-pixel, motion-adaptive, edge-adaptive 3D de-interlacing with support for arbitrary film cadences- removes “jaggies” and “feathering” to produce smooth and clear images
• Adaptive scaling- produces sharp and clean images and low or high resolutions
• Natural dept expansion- enhances details and sensation of depth for greater realism and super
resolution effect
• Adaptive contrast enhancement (ACE) brings out shadow detail without crushing mid-tones or highlights
• Intelligent color remapping (ICR) enables vivid color without hue shifts and clipping while maintaining accurate flesh tone
• Qdeo™ true color- a unique solution for using the full dynamic range of 10-bit and 12-bit displays which eliminates contouring seen when viewing typical 8-bit consumer video
