Page 6: Overview
Overview The SP-1G 3G HD-SDI Synchronizer is a synchronizer for digital video signals up to 3G HD-SDI. When Genlock is active, the device converts any SDI input standard to any SDI output standard within compatible groups, scales the image, and synchronizes with a video channel from the dedicated genlock input - either an SDI input or an analog reference source. - Page 7 A two-line, 16-character per line LCD display that shows the status of the device while in the main mode of operation • Nine front panel buttons to control operation of the device • One RS-232 port for controlling the SP-1G from a serial remote control device or a PC SP-1G - Overview...
