Congratulations on your purchase of the 1:4 3G-SDI Splitter. Your complete
satisfaction is very important to us.
Gefen
Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions
that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.
Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer
systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes
with hard-working solutions that are easy to implement and simple to operate.
The Gefen 1:4 3G-SDI Splitter
The 1:4 3G-SDI Distribution Amplifier allows a single SDI, HD-SDI or 3G-SDI
video source to be distributed to (without loss of signal) four HD SDI/HDSDI/3G-
SDI devices at the same time. Crisp, highly defined visuals are generated in
NTSC or PAL formats supporting Standard and High Definition resolutions to
1080p Full HD.
How It Works
You simply connect your SDI source to the 1:4 3G-SDI Splitter input, then
connect its outputs to your SDI Devices. Once the source, the SDI devices and
the Splitter are powered and connected, your source’s video will be distributed
simultaneously in pristine color and detail.
Note: Gefen’s 1:4 3G-SDI Splitter is backwards compatible with all Gefen legacy
SDI equipment and signal types.
