2. System Features
2.1. General System Features
The Thinklogical® 3G SDI to HDMI Converter allows users to seamlessly convert a broadcast
quality SDI signal to HDMI. The 3G SDI to HDMI Converter is full SMPTE compliant,
including the active loop out port. The 3G SDI to HDMI Converter/Extender has a fiber
output that is fully compatible with our Velocity line of receivers as well as our VX routers for a
comprehensive conversion and extension solution. Not only does it convert and scale
video signals in real-time, it also provides the highest quality images for professional
audio-visual end users.
Each 3G SDI to HDMI Converter system includes the following features:
Conversion/Scaling:
Input: SD, HD, 3G SDI
Output: 1920x1200p60, 1080p50, 1080p60, 720p50, 720p60, 576p50, 480p60.
Fiber optic output compatible with Thinklogical Velocity® Receivers
SDI embedded audio conversion to HDMI output and compatible with Thinklogical Velocity
Receivers
User Control via RS-232 and Ethernet
SMPTE standards supported: 259M-C, 292, 424M, 425 level A and level B
Active SMPTE compliant loop out port
Automatic Video Input Detection
Additional manual resolution selection via push buttons
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

3.1. Connecting the 3G SDI to HDMI Converter/Extender (SDC-000001-LC)
The 3G SDI to HDMI Converter/Extender (SDC-000001-LC) includes an SFP module with LC-type
fiber-optic cable ports to allow a connection to a remote device up to 1000 meters away. A 3G SDI
Source and local output display connect to the SDI IN & OUT ports with standard AES3, 75Ω BNC
cables. The HDMI OUT port connects to an HDMI/SDI display through a standard HDMI cable. An
RS-232 port is also available to connect a serial device. (See RS-232 pin-out guide, paragraph 3.3,
on page 9). To extend content to a remote receiver, use multi-mode fiber-optic cable (up to 1000’).
Fiber L1 carries data, audio and video from the Tx to the RX. Monitors or other viewing devices are
connect to the Velocity Receiver with HDMI/DVI cables.

The 3G SDI to HDMI Converter can be used in a variety of applications, and with a variety of
other Thinklogical products, that do not require video or data extension across large
distances. A 3G SDI Source and local output display connect to the SDI IN & OUT ports with
standard AES3, 75Ω BNC cables. An RS-232 port is also available to connect a serial
device. (See RS-232 pin-out guide, paragraph 3.3, below).
