The Extron DSC 3G-HD A is a 3G-SDI to HDMI scaler that converts 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI signals to HDMI. It accepts and scales SMPTE video resolutions from 480i and 576i up to 1080p @ 60 Hz and 2K, and offers multiple output rates up to

1920x1200, including HDTV 1080p/60 and 2K. Stereo audio embedding and an SDI input loop-through are also provided.

This setup guide provides step-by-step instructions for an experienced user to set up and configure a DSC 3G-HD A. It covers how to perform basic operations using the front panel controls and selected Simple Instruction Set ™ (SIS ™ ) commands.

NOTE: For full installation, configuration, menus, connector wiring, and operation details, see the DSC 3G-HD A and

Output Scaler Rates

Output rates can be set using the OSD menu or SIS commands. The table at right gives the rates and their SIS variables

(see the SIS table

on page 4).

Output Rate Reset

If an image cannot be displayed due to an incompatible output rate, you can reset the output rate as follows:

With the OSD closed, press and hold the



button for approximately 5 seconds to toggle between 1024x768 @ 60 Hz and
