1 Introduction
1.1 Contents
When you receive your Thinklogical® HDMI to 3G SDI Converter, you should find the following items:
• HDMI to 3G SDI Converter (HDC-000001) or
HDMI to 3G SDI Converter with Xtreme 3G+ Extension Option (HDC-000001-LC)
• AC/DC adapter universal input 90-264 VAC (PWR-000022-R)
• +12VDC supply voltage
• HDMI to 3G SDI Converter Product Manual

1.2 Product Overview
The Thinklogical® HDMI to 3G SDI Converter is a stand-alone product that allows advanced real-time
image correction and scaling, while at the same time functioning as a video converter which supports an
HDMI or DVI input to an SDI output of SD/HD/3G SDI. The HDMI to 3G SDI Converter/Extender has a
fiber-optic output (which allows fiber extension up to 1000 meters) that is fully compatible with
our SDIXtreme3G+ line of receivers for a comprehensive conversion and extension solution.
H: 1.5” (38.1mm) x D: 7.75” (196.85mm) x W: 7.65” (136.65mm)

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

APPENDIX D: Front Panel Display and RS-232
Front Panel Display
The front panel menus can be navigated by using the encoder knob, located on the right side of the
front panel. The encoder knob is an easy way to quickly configure the unit without the need for any other
communication interfaces. The encode knob is used to cycle through the different configuration/settings
menus. Pressing the encoder knob will either enter into a new, lower-layered menu or commit the current
selection.
The configured Input and Output settings are displayed on the Front Panel LCD. If no signal is present at
the time of power up, the display will read "Not Configured" for both the Input and Output. Pressing the
encoder knob once will display the product description and the 7 different main menus as the
knob is turned. If the encoder is not pushed or turned in 20 seconds, the screen will go back to the top
level.
Most commands will have a confirmation message displayed that shows acknowledgement of the
command. Due to the limited amount of data that can be displayed via the LCD, not all detailed data can
be displayed. It is suggested to either use the RS-232 or Ethernet interface for such queries.
Press and turn

Front panel LCD and encode knob
RS-232 Interface
The RS-232 and RS-422 interface menus have an 'exit' option. Selecting this option will display the
menu items one level higher. The SPACE bar will repeat the current menu and the ENTER key will
return the user to the top level menu. The following menus are formatted similarly to the configuration
menus displayed on power-up.
The RS-232 setup and configuration is as follows:
•
Use Hyperterm or similar type interface.
•
Baud rate is 115200, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control
•
Emulate VT-100 mode
