DSC 3G-HD A Scaler • Setup Guide

The Extron DSC 3G-HD A is a 3G-SDI to HDMI scaler that converts 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI signals to HDMI. It accepts and scales SMPTE video resolutions from 480i and 576i up to 1080p @ 60 Hz and 2K, and offers multiple output rates up to 1920x1200, including HDTV 1080p/60 and 2k. Stereo audio embedding and an SDI input loop-through are also provided.

This setup guide provides step-by-step instructions for an experienced user to set up and configure a DSC 3G-HD A. It covers how to perform basic operations using the front panel controls and selected Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands.
