The GefenPRO 3GSDI to HD Scaler
The Gefen 3GSDI to HD Scaler will take any SDI, HD-SDI, or 3G-SDI video
signal and convert it to HDMI 1.3 scaled to the output resolution of the display
device. The SDI input signal will simply be converted to an HDMI signal. A user-
friendly On-Screen Display will allow the user to select features such as Deep
Color conversion and color space. A built-in 720p (60Hz) test pattern is also
available without connecting an SDI source, useful for checking the HDMI video
output. An SDI loop out and a S/PDIF digital audio output are also provided for
monitoring the input SDI source and/or distributing the SDI audio to an external
digital ampli
fi
cation device.
How It Works
The 3GSDI to HD Scaler converts an SDI source signal (SD/HD/3GSDI) to an
HDMI-compliant A/V signal which is then scaled to optimally
fi
t the output/display
device at resolutions of up to 2048x1080p24.
The SDI source device is connected to the SDI input. An HDMI output device
is connected to the HDMI A/V output connector. The included power cord is
connected and plugged into an available electrical outlet. The SD/HD/3GSDI
input signals are converted to the proper output format and scaled to the desired
resolution of the output device.
