INTRODUCTION
The AV-GM0973-S1 3G/HD/SD-SDI Pattern Generator is an advanced SDI pattern generator with
multi-format (3G/HD/SD) and multi-pattern support. Besides still and moving video test patterns,
other features such as audio (SMPTE-291M) are also provided. AV-GM0973-S1 can support up to 8
channel AES compliant audio with 48KHz sample rate. Another attractive feature of AV-GM0973-S1
comes from bypassing HDMI input and allows users with more testing patterns for connected
display or treats AV-GM0973-S1 as an advanced HDMI to SDI converter with 3G capability. With
portable size, AV-GM0973-S1 is equipped four buttons and LCM screen to ease the control. This
device provides a cost effective way to calibrate and test SDI enable video devices and displays.

EDID LEARNING
1. Turn off AV-GM0973-S1 and set the pin 4 of DIP switch of AV-GM0973-S1 to OFF [�].
2. Connect the HDTV to the HDMI port on the AV-GM0973-S1, and then turn on VPG-SDI3.
3. The Lock LED on the AV-GM0973-S1 will dim and light again, which indicates the EDID learning
process is done.
4. Connect AV-GM0973-S1 to the HDMI source through a HDMI cable and enjoy the experience.
NOTICE
1. In HDMI bypass mode, users must be aware of that the jitters coming from HDMI sources, such
as DVD players, may be much higher than typical requirement according to SMPTE request on
HD-SDI signals. This will result in SDI output with high jitters or even no SDI outputs!
2. Due to the high frequency bandwidth and low jitter requirement of 3G-SDI signals, it is strongly
recommended to use just one SDI OUTPUT with one 75 ohm.
3. The features including new timings and patterns may increase without notice after the firmware
is updated! This may affect the menu items, but will keep the same framework for users!
