Gefen DVI to HD-SDI Single-Link Scaler Box

Convert and Scale DVI to HD-SDI/SDI

The DVI to HD-SDI Single-Link Scaler Box, from Gefen's Pro Audio/Video product line, provides high-performance conversion from DVI-D single-link sources to HD-SDI.  The EXT-DVI-2-HDSDISSL supports a wide range of input and output formats, thanks to its onboard Gennum VXP high-performance scaler.  The supported input/output resolutions and formats are on page 6 of the user manual.

An IR remote control is included, making it simple to adjust resolution, color, gamma, noise reduction, detail enhancement, aspect ratio and the built-in pattern generator, using an onscreen menu system.

The package includes:

  • (1) DVI to HD-SDI SL Scaler,
  • (1) 6 foot DVI Cable (M-M)
  • (1) RMT-8HDS-IR Remote Control
  • (1) 5V DC Power Supply

Like most Gefen equipment, the EXT-DVI-2-HDSDISSL DVI to HD-SDI Scaler Box comes with a two-year warranty from Gefen, as described here.

Gefen's description

Enables Compatibility Among SDI and DVI Devices

Combines SDI and DVI Equipment for Maximum Interoperability

The DVI to HDSDI Single Link Scaler is the newest revision of our HDSDI conversion line incorporating single link DVI-D conversion scaled to SD/HDSDI Single link modes. Resolutions of up to 1080p are supported over the HDSDI link for those that want true "High Definition". Performance has been greatly enhanced due to Gennum's VXP Scaler onboard, allowing for new features such as Color & Gamma Correction, Noise Reduction, Detail Enhancement, Aspect Ratio Selection, Pattern Generator Mode, & Multiple Language Menu Support. The Bottom Line? -- More performance, less cost.

How it works
DVI devices are connected to the DVI input and SDI devices are connected to the SDI output. When the source, display and the Scaler are powered and connected, video signals are converted to the proper format.
