  • Page 5: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the 3GSDI to 3GSDI Scaler. Your complete satisfaction is very important to us. GefenPRO In the realm of video distribution, certain features are invaluable in a commercial or broadcast environment. Accommodations such as a build-in power supply and flat black rack-mount enclosures set GefenPRO apart from our traditional products. Complex distribution units allow for professional DVI, 3G-SDI, and HDMI signals to be routed and converted easily and seamlessly, while being backed up by a renowned and dependable technical support team. Gefen invites you to explore the GefenPRO product line and hopes that you find the solution that fits your needs. The GefenPRO 3GSDI to 3GSDI Scaler The GefenPRO 3GSDI-2-3GSDIS provides high-performance scaling - including adjustable cadence detection, frame rate conversion, detail enhancement, and advanced noise reduction. It works with SDI, ED-SDI, HD-SDI, or 3G-SDI signals and supports resolutions up to 1080p Full HD and 2048 x 1080 (2K). This product can be used as a standalone frame synchronizer without scaling if desired. When frame synchronization is required, the video output of one source (or a reference signal) can be used to Genlock another input source. Genlock Mode, as well as all features of this scaler, can be controlled through the built-in menu system using the IR Remote Control or via RS-232 control. How It Works Connect SDI source devices to the SDI inputs and connect downstream equipment to the SDI outputs. Convenient SDI loop-through output connectors and an RCA Coax (S/PDIF) audio output allow monitoring of SDI video and audio. An external Genlock source may also be connected. Configuration may be done using the IR Remote and the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu, or via the RS-232 port. A USB port is also provided for future firmware upgrades.

  • Page 6: Operation Notes

    OPERATION NOTES READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THE 3GSDI TO 3GSDI SCALER • The built-in GUI (Graphical User Interface) or On-Screen Display (OSD) provides convenient operation of the Scaler. The supplied IR Remote control operates the OSD. See pages 9 - 16 for details on the OSD commands. • The IR Remote Control unit’s IR channel must be identical to that of the Scaler. See page 30 for details on configuring the IR Channel on the 3GSDI to 3GSDI Scaler. • The 3GSDI to 3GSDI Scaler supports many input and output resolutions. For a complete list of supported formats, see pages 33 - 35. • Supports SMPTE standards 259M, 292M, SMPTE 274M, SMPTE 296M, ITU-R BT.656 and ITU-R BT.601. Handles 3G-SDI SMPTE 425-A and 425-B / formats 1080p 50/59.94/60. • Internal software (firmware) may be upgraded via the built-in Serial or USB ports. Note that software updates performed on the USB port will be quicker due to its higher data transfer rate.

  • Page 11: Ir Remote Control Installation

    Installing the Battery The Remote Control unit ships with two batteries. One battery is required for operation and the other battery is a spare. Remove the battery cover on the back of the IR Remote Control unit. Insert the included battery into the open battery slot. The positive (+) side of the battery should be facing up. Replace the battery cover. NOTE: An Activity Indicator that flashes quickly while holding down any one of the 8 buttons indicates a low battery. Replace the IR Remote Control battery as soon as possible. WARNING: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. Channel 0 (default): Remote Channel 1: Remote Channel 2: Remote Channel 3: Battery slot DIP switches Setting the IR Channel The IR channel on the IR Remote Control must match the IR channel used by the 3GSDI to 3GSDI Scaler. For example, if both DIP switches on the IR Remote Control unit are set to IR channel 0 (both DIP switches down), then the 3GSDI to 3GSDI Scaler must also be set to IR channel 0. See page 30 for information on how to change the IR channel on the 3GSDI to 3GSDI Scaler.

    CONNECTING THE 3GSDI TO 3GSDI SCALER How to Connect the 3GSDI to 3GSDI Scaler Connect a 3GSDI source to the In A connector on the 3GSDI to 3GSDI Scaler. Connect the Out A port on the back of the Scaler to a 3GSDI display. The 3GSDI destination cab be mirrored by connecting a BNC cable from the Out B port to a secondary 3GSDI display. NOTE: In order to output dual link 1080p when using HD-SDI, both the Out A and Out B must be connected to the 3GSDI display. Connect a coax cable from the S/PDIF output to an external amplifier. If monitoring of the 3GSDI source is desired, connect a BNC cable from the Loop Out A connector to the 3GSDI display. The Loop Out connectors pass-through the source signal without any processing. Connect the included AC power cord from the power receptacle to an available electrical outlet. Power the 3GSDI to 3GSDI Scaler by pressing the power switch on the rear of the unit.

Make sure that the GefenUpdater.exe file resides in the same directory (or is in the path) as the UpdateGamma.bat file. Connect a USB cable from the computer to the HD to 3GSDI Scaler.
