1. Introduction
The SDI to HDMI Scaler with Audio allows SD, HD and 3G-SDI signals to be
display on HDMI/SDI displays while ensuring high bit rates of 2.970 Gbit/s gives
you fast signal transmission without signal loss. For professional this means that it
is now easier to distribute and extend your SDI signal while giving you the ability
to display your work on HDMI displays. Further, the design of coaxial and L/R
audio output allows user to output audio with both digital and analog format
and the loop-through 3G-SDI design also benefit user to enjoy both SDI and
HDMI display synchronously.
