INTRODUCTION
The AV-GM08V3-S1 3G/HD/SD-SDI Quad-view Video Processor is an advanced video processor
for multimedia presentations. It is an ideal solution for some application such as broadcasting,
where up to four SDI video signals must be displayed on a single display. It supports up to 4 SDI
video inputs, of which four can be outputted simultaneously with the desired display layout
through software control, IR remote or front panel. The advanced video processor allows you to
manipulate output images, wherever positions and whatever sizes you want for viewing four
computers or four video signals or a combination.
The embedded processor converts signals from input sources to match the native resolution of
monitors, flat panel displays, projectors as well as user-selectable output settings up to WUXGA
(1920x1200). Dual outputs are provided in both digital (SDI) and digital (DVI) format, one is
connected to remote display and other is connected to on-site display for real time monitoring.
FEATURES
●Supports 3G/HD/SD-SDI video formats
●Input resolutions support interlaced or progressive video under SMPTE
●Dual outputs DVI (640x480 to 1920x1200) / SDI (720P, 1080P)
●Each SDI input channel has 1 re-clocked SDI loop-outs
●Adjustable size & position through software, IR remote and front panel
●Image parameters and layouts are automatically saved in flash memory and can be recalled for
later use
●User-selectable output settings, up to 1920x1200 (Only for DVI)

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Safety Precautions
1. To prevent fire or shock hazards, do not expose this device to rain or moisture.
2. The product should be placed more than one foot away from heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, and other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat. In addition,
do not cover any material or devices on the top of the device.
3. Do not use immediately after moving from a low temperature to high temperature, as this
causes condensation.
4. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or adult and serious damage to the product.
5. Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
6. Do not allow the same still picture to be projected for a long time or an abnormally bright video
picture to be projected. The video image could be burned in to the display device.
