The Gefen HDMI1.3-2-3GSDI Converter takes an HDMI input signal and converts it to SDI/HD-SDI/3G-SDI output format (either SDI standard definition, HD-SDI high-definition, or 3G-SDI high-definition with ultra high bandwidth). Converted HDMI signals are mirrored onto two identical SDI BNC outputs. A single pair of RCA-type L/R analog audio output jacks enables monitoring of embedded HDMI audio via an external analog amplifier or receiver.
LED indicators on the front and bottom of the unit provide HDMI and SDI signal status and troubleshooting assistance in the event of errors.
DIP switches on the underside of the unit allow presetting critical functions inside the Converter such as 3G Mapping Level, Test Pattern and RGB Range.
Three LED indicators on the front panel indicate the presence of data rates up to 3G-SDI, the presence of locked-on HDMI, and power to the unit.
