3. Remote control 1 set;
4. User manual/product certification/warranty card 1 set.

Before installing HDMI &VGA&CVBS-SDI video converter, you need to prepare as below:

1. The coax (75Ω) to connect SDI signal. As standard SYV-75-5-1C coax. The quality of poor coax will affect the SDI signal transmission distance directly;
2. The cable to connect HDMI signal;
3. The bracket and wire gong etc. For fixing SD/HD/3G SDI HDMI&VGA&CVBS video converter.

Install and connect HDMI &VGA&CVBS-SDI video converter notes: 

1. Strongly recommend you connect SDI and HDMI / VGA / CVBS (AV) cable at first then connect the power supply;
2. SDI signal output can connect either one of the two output port, or connecting simultaneously (drive two SDI monitors). If only connecting one, we strongly suggest users connect one 75Ω terminal resistance to the other output port, which can improve signal quality and driving capacity;

Video conversion rule

Our converter supports all HDMI standard HD video resolution, VGA standard VESAresolution,1280×720@60Hz/75Hz, 1920×1080@60Hz and some special VGA resolution. Under default rules, converter tries to keep the same output as the input format.

Under default rules, when converting video signal source is HDMI, audio is from HDMI; when converting video signal source is VGA or CVBS (AV) input, audio is from Line-in analog input. Audio source can be chosen by remote control.

can be output two video signal simultaneously, the output interface is HDMI+CVBS(AV)indefault (factory settings). You can select the output interface is HDMI+VGA or VGA+CVBS(AV)by remote controller, or click the HDM/IVGA/AV on the remote controller directly to select.

Under below particular cases, converter will make special treatment for video output:

1. As SDI don’t support 640×480, 800×600, etc. VESA resolution, converter will automatically do scaling for VESA signal sent from VGA signal and HDMI, outputting with the proximate SDIr esolution. (Note: as VESA length-width ratio is different from SDI length-width ratio, so someratios will get distortion. If keeping the ratio, user can set image scaling output ratioby remote control;
2. User can lock SDI output format by remote control setting, then converter can convert tolocked output format from any input format, while not changing SDI output format duetoinput format changing;
3. If no signal input or incorrect signal input, output will keep the last video image for 10seconds; 10 seconds later, it will output blue screen/black screen (Note: new version products output black screen, old version output blue screen). Whether keeping the last image or the time for keep can be set by remote control.

Converter settings

1. Select video output interface
   Converter can choose either of these HDMI, VGA AND CVBS (AV) for convert video input port. The converter can automatically detect which port has been connected signal, according to the sequence of HDMI/VGA/CVBS/AV.
   It can be manually choosing input signal port on the popping menu of “video signal source”. When choosing video signal source “choosing by K1&K2” on the setting menu, video signal source is decided by below K1, K2 composition rules. K1| K2| Signal source| K1| K2| Signal source
   ---|---|---|---|---|---
   OFF| OFF| CVBS| ON| OFF| HDMI
   OFF| ON| VGA| ON| ON| Automatic detection

2. Audio signal source settings
   Select the remote control menu “Audio Source”, select the audio source in the pop-up menu. When you select “Auto selection” (the default situation), when the video input is HDMI, then the audio source is HDMI; other audio source is Line In.

3. SDI output format settings
   Select the remote control menu “SDI Output”, you can set whether to support 3GSDI output, and select the output resolution. In the menu, select “Support 3G”, SDI will be based on the video source, automatically decide the SDI output is SD, HD or 3G format; If you select “Support HD/ SD”, when the video signal is 1080p50/1080p60, SDI output will automatically convert tobe1080p25/1080p30. (Selecting the Support HD / SD can enhance the signal distance). SDI output format selection “Fit input mode” (default setting of device), then start automatic.
   conversion mode, the conversion rules as described in section III;
   If you select a specific resolution, SDI will be locked the resolution of output no matter what input signal format.
   When you select the menu “By the K1 & K2 SW”, select K1, K2 combination decides the output format: K1| K2| Output format| K1| K2| Output format
   ---|---|---|---|---|---
   OFF| OFF| Automatically adapt to input| ON| OFF| 1080p30
   OFF| ON| 720p60| ON| ON| 1080p60

( Note: there is a adjustable resolution table on the back of converter)

4. Picture ratio adjustment
   Converter defaults to “Stretch” mode conversion output. It is applicable to normal situation. However, the video ratio after stretching will be distorted if the input video signal is 576i 4:3or3:2 mode 480i signals to convert and output to 720p/1080p 16:9 widescreen. Meanwhile, the video converter output 16:9to 4:3 / 3:2 format is the same problems. In this case, you can select “Picture mode “→”Fit” option by remote control menu, or “Stretch” mode to adjust. In the maintaining ratio mode, the video vertically or horizontally may add black padding border “Padding” and “Center” model for advanced screen ratio adjustment mode, suitable for special occasions. “Padding” mode indicates the input video screen zoom to the most appropriate screen size, but if the ratio of the input video is inconsistent with the ratio of the output video, while maintaining the aspect ratio of normal premise, the out of range part will be cut off. As shown below:
   
   “Center” mode is not scaling and processing the input video, and directly output the original video to the middle position. If the input resolution is less than the output video resolution, then the picture is centered and around fill black-edged; if the input resolution is larger than output video resolution, then cut off the video and output to the middle position.
