The Extron DSC HD-3G A is an HDMI to 3G-SDI scaler that converts HDMI signals to 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI. It accepts computer and SMPTE video resolutions up to 1920x1200 and 2K, and offers multiple output rates from 480i up to HDTV 1080p @ 60 Hz and 2K. The DSC HD-3G A features advanced Extron video signal processing with 1080i deinterlacing and Deep Color processing for optimal image quality. Dual SDI outputs, stereo audio embedding, and genlock are also provided. This setup guide provides step-by-step instructions for an experienced user to set up and configure a DSC HD-3G A. It covers how to perform basic operations using the front panel controls and selected Simple Instruction Set ™ (SIS ™ ) commands.
