The GefenPRO HDMI 1.3 to 3GSDI Converter

The GefenPRO HDMI1.3 to 3GSDI Converter takes a single HDMI input signal and converts it to SDI standard definition, HD-SDI (single link only) high- definition, or 3G-SDI high-definition with ultra high bandwidth. Converted HDMI audio/video signals are output in SDI/HD-SDI/3G-SDI format on two SDI BNC connectors with up to 8 channels of converted HDMI audio present in the output signal.

A single pair of RCA-type L/R analog audio output jacks enables monitoring of the first two (2) audio channels embedded in the HDMI audio source signal.

LED indicators on the front and bottom of the unit provide HDMI and SDI signal status for troubleshooting assistance in the event of errors.

How It Works

An HDMI source is connected to the HDMI input on the GefenPRO HDMI 1.3 to 3GSDI Converter. An SDI device is connected to the SDI outputs on the Converter. The included power supply is connected to the GefenPRO HDMI

1.3to 3GSDI Converter. When the HDMI source and the GefenPRO HDMI 1.3 to 3GSDI Converter are connected and powered on, audio/video signals are converted to the proper format on connected A/V output devices (displays, audio receivers).

A bank of dedicated DIP (Dual Inline Package) switches on the underside of the unit allows control over features of the Converter, including Sampling, and Color Space/Color Depth settings.

PC video input formats are not supported. This device does not scale video. Only SMPTE formats are supported on the SDI outputs.
