1.2 Product Overview
The Thinklogical
®
HDMI to 3G SDI Converter is a stand-alone product that allows advanced real-time
image correction and scaling, while at the same time functioning as a video converter which supports an
HDMI or DVI input to an SDI output of SD/HD/3G SDI. The HDMI to 3G SDI Converter/Extender has a
fiber-optic output (which allows fiber extension up to 1000 meters) that is fully compatible with
our SDIXtreme3G+ line of receivers for a comprehensive conversion and extension solution.
H: 1.5” (38.1mm) x D: 7.75” (196.85mm) x W: 7.65” (136.65mm)

The HDMI to 3G SDI Converter/Extender
®
with the fiber output option is fully compatible with the
Thinklogical SDI Xtreme 3G+
®
line of receivers for a comprehensive conversion and extension solution.
The SDI Xtreme 3G+ Extension version includes a Serial port (RS-422) and has the option using Single-
Mode or Multi-Mode over one or two fibers.
HDMI to 3G SDI Converter/Extender (with SDIXtreme3G+ Extension Option) rear panel view
Each HDMI to 3G SDI Converter system includes the following features:
Conversion/Scaling:
•Video Input: HDMI, DVI
•Audio Sources: HDMI embedded (up to 8 channels), Balanced analog (single stereo pair),
Balanced digital AES (single stereo pair)
•Video Output: SD-SDI (SMPTE 259M-C), HD-SDI (SMPTE 292), 3G (SMPTE 424M, 425
Level A and B)
•Audio Outputs: SDI embedded (up to 8 channels)
•Fiber optic output compatible with Thinklogical’s
®
SDI Xtreme 3G+ Receivers
•User Control via front panel, RS-232 and Ethernet (See page 11)
•Device Control via front panel, RS-422 for Camera Controller, PTZ, etc. (See pg. 11)
•Front panel LCD with encode knob
•SMPTE standards supported: 259M-C, 292, 424M, 425 level A and level B
•Genlock capable
•Automatic video input detection
Video Processor Features:
•Per pixel motion-adaptive video noise reduction- removes the white Gaussian noise present in
most types of video
•Content adaptive block and mosquito noise reduction- significantly reduces the blocking and
mosquito noise artifacts present in compressed video
•Advanced per-pixel, motion-adaptive, edge-adaptive 3D de-interlacing with support for arbitrary
film cadences- removes “jaggies” and “feathering” to produce smooth and clear images
•Adaptive scaling- produces sharp and clean images and low or high resolutions
•Natural dept expansion- enhances details and sensation of depth for greater realism and super
resolution effect
•Adaptive contrast enhancement (ACE) brings out shadow detail without crushing mid-tones or
highlights
•Intelligent color remapping (ICR) enables vivid color without hue shifts and clipping while
maintaining accurate flesh tone
•Qdeo™ true color- a unique solution for using the full dynamic range of 10-bit and 12-bit displays
which eliminates contouring seen when viewing typical 8-bit consumer video
