INTRODUCTION  
Congratulations on your purchase of the GefenPRO HDMI 1.3 to 3GSDI  
Converter. Your complete satisfaction is very important to us.  
Gefen  
Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions  
that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.  
Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer  
systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes  
with hard-working solutions that are easy to implement and simple to operate.  
The GefenPRO HDMI 1.3 to 3GSDI Converter  
The GefenPRO HDMI1.3 to 3GSDI Converter takes a single HDMI input signal  
and converts it to SDI standard denition, HD-SDI (single link only) high-  
denition, or 3G-SDI high-denition with ultra high bandwidth. Converted HDMI  
audio/video signals are output in SDI/HD-SDI/3G-SDI format on two SDI BNC  
connectors with up to 8 channels of converted HDMI audio present in the output  
signal.  
A single pair of RCA-type L/R analog audio output jacks enables monitoring of  
the rst two (2) audio channels embedded in the HDMI audio source signal.  
LED indicators on the front and bottom of the unit provide HDMI and SDI signal  
status for troubleshooting assistance in the event of errors.  
How It Works  
An HDMI source is connected to the HDMI input on the GefenPRO HDMI 1.3  
to 3GSDI Converter. An SDI device is connected to the SDI outputs on the  
Converter. The included power supply is connected to the GefenPRO HDMI  
1.3 to 3GSDI Converter. When the HDMI source and the GefenPRO HDMI 1.3  
to 3GSDI Converter are connected and powered on, audio/video signals are  
converted to the proper format on connected A/V output devices (displays, audio  
receivers).  
A bank of dedicated DIP (Dual Inline Package) switches on the underside of the  
unit allows control over features of the Converter, including Sampling, and Color  
Space/Color Depth settings.  
PC video input formats are not supported. This device does not scale video. Only  
SMPTE formats are supported on the SDI outputs.

HDMI source audio is converted to SDI audio only when the audio sampling  
rate is 48 KHz; other rates will produce unrecognizeable audio.  
Color spaces are automatically converted (RGB to YCbCr) and color  
subsampling (4:4:4 to 4:2:2) is automatically performed when using SDI  
equipment.  
When using SDI and HD-SDI equipment, outputs A and B are mirrored.  
The rst 2 channels of HDMI audio embedded within the source signal are  
output on the L/R analog audio RCA connectors for monitoring purposes.

CONNECTING & OPERATING  
THE GEFENPRO HDMI 1.3 TO 3GSDI CONVERTER  
How to Connect the HDMI to 3GSDI Converter  
1. Connect the HDMI 1.3 source to the HDMI input of the HDMI to 3GSDI  
Converter using the supplied HDMI cable.  
2. Optionally connect a two channel analog audio device to the RCA style L+R  
analog audio connectors for monitoring of the audio from the HDMI input.  
3. Connect an SDI (SD/HD/3G) capable output device to the HDMI output
