2. System Features

2.1. General System Features

The Thinklogical® SDI to HDMI Converter allows users to seamlessly convert a broadcast
quality SDI signal to HDMI. The SDI to HDMI Converter is full SMPTE compliant, including
the active loop out port. The 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 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 mid­tones 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. Connecting the SDI to HDMI Converter

3.1 RS-232 Pin Out

3.2

The IEX3 has many configuration options and this document will cover these options in detail.
Every configuration can be set regardless of the user interface (e.g. RS-232, RS-422, Front
Panel Display, Web Interface). There are a lot of status and configuration settings that can be
viewed but are not output to the Front Panel display due to the display limitations. The RS-232
and RS-422 interface menus will have an 'exit' option. Selecting this option will display the menu
items one level up. The SPACE bar will repeat the current menu and the ENTER key will return
the user to the top level menu. This document will be formatted similarly to the configuration
menus that are 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

Appendix B- Quick Start Guide

SDI to HDMI Converter, Rev. C 25 July, 2012

APPENDIX C: GUI

The Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the SDI to HDMI Converter was developed to easily
create, set and recall custom configurations. There are 6 main menus that allow you to
configure the Input/Output, Video Processor, Audio, User Configurations, Xtreme 3G and
System Information. There are sub-menus under the video processor menu for Video Control
and Picture Control.

Note: When power has been cycled on a unit it will reset to factory settings unless
the “Set Power On Config” has been set in the User Menu.

Input/Output Menu

This menu allows you to select the input and the format of the output. By clicking the “Take”
button at the bottom of the screen you are able to commit the output format that you have
selected.

SDI to HDMI Converter, Rev. C 26 July, 2012

Video Processor > Video Control

The Video Control sub-menu allows you to control DeInterlacer, Noise Reducer, Compression
Artifact Reducer, Edge Enhancer, and Adaptive Contrast Enhancer.

SDI to HDMI Converter, Rev. C 27 July, 2012

Video Processor > Picture Control

The Picture Control sub-menu allows you to control Hue Saturation, Advanced Color
Remapping, Flesh Tone Correction and Color Temperature. You can also reset all levels back
to the factory default.

SDI to HDMI Converter, Rev. C 28 July, 2012

Audio

The Audio menu allows you to select which output audio channel is sourced with any input
audio channel. It also allows you to enter an audio delay (from -50 ms to +50 ms) when
needed.

SDI to HDMI Converter, Rev. C 29 July, 2012

User

The User menu allows you to save your current configuration by name or restore factory
configuration. You can also use the drop down menu to “Select Config Name” and set power on
configuration (which sets the current configuration to be the default power on configuration),
restore factory configuration and delete the selected configuration.

SDI to HDMI Converter, Rev. C 30 July, 2012

Fiber Link

The Fiber Link menu is valid only if the Optical Module Option is installed. This menu allows
you to view the Thinklogical Velocity Module and SFP information of the unit in use.

SDI to HDMI Converter, Rev. C 31 July, 2012

System Info

The System Info menu allows you to view information for the inputs and outputs as well as
Genlock and software and firmware versions.
