The AV-GM0993-S1 3G/HD/SD-SDI Pattern Generator with Serial Control 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-GM0993-S1 can support up to 8 channel AES compliant audio with 48KHz sample rate.
Another attractive feature of AV-GM0993-S1 comes from bypassing HDMI input and allows users
with more testing patterns for connected display or treats AV-GM0993-S1 as an advanced HDMI
to SDI converter with 3G capability. With portable size, AV-GM0993-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.
In order to create the accessibility for SDI system integrators, AV-GM0993-S1 is equipped the
serial port thru mini-USB connector and the complete serial command sets are also provided for
reference!

1. Factory default for 4-pin DIP switch: OFF-OFF-OFF-OFF [---]
2. In order to keep the compatibility of HDMI to most monitors, AV-GM0993-S1 features EDID
learning ability. The operation is shown in the EDID learning section.
1. Turn off AV-GM0993-S1 and set the pin 4 of DIP switch of AV-GM0993-S1 to OFF [].
2. Connect the HDTV to the HDMI port on the AV-GM0993-S1, and then turn on AV-GM0993-S1.
3. The Lock LED on the AV-GM0993-S1 will dim and light again, which indicates the EDID learning
process is done.
4. Connect AV-GM0993-S1 to the HDMI source through a HDMI cable and enjoy the experience.

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.
