BZBGEAR BG-H3GS PRODUCT MANUAL
Introduction
The BG-H3GS allows HDMI signals to be shown on SDI displays while ensuring a high bit
rate of 2.970 Gbit/s to provide a high-resolution signal without any loss. For professionals
this means that it is now easier to convert your high-definition HDMI signal with audio to
SDI for long distance transmissions and display your work on SDI displays.
The BG-H3GS supports multiple input resolutions such as 480i, 720p, 1080i, and up to
1080p60. A 1080p60 HDMI signal will convert to 3G-SDI for transmission up to 100m
(328ft). For even longer range transmissions 480i will convert to SD-SDI and can be
transmitted up to 300m (984ft).
