Troubleshooting Q & A
There is no image on my SDI monitor.
If your source is 1080p, your monitor may only support
1080i, but not 1080p. Turn the rotary dial to position 1
to change your 1080p source to 1080i.
There is no image on my SDI monitor.
Check the color of the status indicator. If the indicator
is green, it means there is power but no input source is
detected, this may be related to the content protection
on the HDMI source. If this is the case, please call
Apantac technical support.
I have both the RJ-45 and HDMI input plugged
in, but there is no image on my SDI monitor.
Push the scan button once, it will scan for the active
source. If both RJ45 and HDMI inputs have active
sources, the RJ45 has priority.
The status indicator LED is not lit.
Check for a possible loose power adapter connection.
Use the fastener that comes with the accessories kit to
ensure a secure connection.

Specifications
Package Contents
 DA-HDTV-SDI
 Power Adapter (5V 3.2A)
 Stereo Phone Jack (1 x 2)
 75 Ω Terminator
 Magnetic Mounting Plate
 Mounting Screws

Installation:
1. Connect and secure the power adapter. The status indica-
tor will light green.
2. Connect the SDI output to the receiving device via a coax
cable. If only one output is to be used, terminate the oth-
er with the included 75 ohm terminator.
3. Use the internal color bar test signals to ensure proper
connectivity between the DA-HDTV-SDI and the receiving
device. Select the appropriate test signal resolution and
rate using the Mode Switch positions 2 through 9.
4. Set the rotary switch to position 0 (default).
5. Connect a HDMI signal to one or the other input of the DA-
HDTV-SDI. The status indicator will light steady amber
when the unit has locked on to the input video signal. (2
to 10 seconds)
6. If the input signal is a 1080p 50/59.94/60 signal (3G) and
the receiving SDI equipment is not 3G capable, set the
mode switch to position 1. This will convert 1080p signals
into 1080i signals.
Notes:
 This unit does not alter the incoming resolution or refresh
rate. Source and receiving equipment must be compatible.
(i.e.: if the source outputs 60 Hz and the receiving SDI
equipment can only tolerate 59.94 Hz signals there will
exist an incompatibility. The DA-HDTV-SDI is not responsi-
ble for this incompatibility.)
 The DA-HDTV-SDI has a factory set, generic EDID on the
HDMI input port. If a dierent EDID is required by your
source, then an EDID emulator should be installed.
