Extron Ships 3G-SDI to 3G-SDI Scaler with Audio Embedding and De-Embedding
Extron is already shipping their new DSC 3G-3G A — a 3G-SDI scaler that converts between 3G‑SDI, HD‑SDI, and SDI resolutions and frame rates. It accepts, scales, and outputs SMPTE video resolutions from 480i and 576i up to 1080p/60 and 2K. The DSC 3G-3G A features advanced Extron video signal processing with 1080i deinterlacing and Deep Color processing for optimal image quality. The DSC 3G-3G A also provides flexible audio capability with analog audio embedding, de-embedding and level adjustments. Dual SDI outputs, genlock and an input loop-through facilitate integration in demanding professional environments, while the compact enclosure simplifies installation.
The DSC 3G-3G A offers several features that enhance and simplify AV system integration, including two 3G-SDI/HD-SDI/SDI outputs so that a pair of displays can be driven simultaneously. The scaler also features input equalization which conditions incoming 3G-SDI signals to compensate for signal loss over long input cables. Reclocking on the SDI input loop-through eliminates high frequency jitter. Additionally, the DSC 3G-3G A offers a range of audio capabilities including SDI audio management, input gain and attenuation controls, input audio muting, and output volume control. Two channel audio input and output connections are provided for embedding audio onto the SDI output, or sending de-embedded content to a sound system or other audio destination. The output can be set for stereo or dual mono.
