The Extron DSC 3G‑HD A is a high performance 3G‑SDI to HDMI scaler that converts 3G‑SDI, HD‑SDI, and SDI signals to HDMI. It accepts and scales SMPTE video resolutions from 480i and 576i up to 1080p/60 and 2K, and offers multiple output rates up to 1920x1200, including 1080p/60 and 2K. The DSC 3G‑HD A features advanced Extron video signal processing with deinterlacing of signals up to 1080i, and Deep Colour processing. Stereo audio embedding and an SDI input loop‑through facilitate integration in demanding professional environments, while the compact enclosure simplifies installation. The DSC 3G‑HD A is ideal for applications requiring broadcast-type signals to be interfaced with professional or consumer-level equipment, including video editing and production, rental and staging, medical imaging, and large-scale presentations.

High Performance Video Processing

The DSC 3G‑HD A provides high performance deinterlacing of all interlaced signals up to 1080i, and Deep Colour processing to deliver optimal image quality. Additionally, the Colour space and chroma subsampling of the HDMI output can be automatically set to ensure compatibility with a connected DVI or HDMI display. Automatic 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown detection maximizes image quality for content sources originating from film.

To enhance and simplify integration, the DSC 3G‑HD A offers automatic input equalisation and reclocking on the buffered SDI loop-through. Input equalisation restores and reshapes incoming 3G‑SDI signals, reducing the need for additional signal conditioning equipment by compensating for weak source signals or signal loss from a long input cable.

Selectable FILL and FOLLOW modes are also available to ensure the proper aspect ratio of the output. FILL mode provides full screen output, while FOLLOW mode preserves the original aspect ratio of the input signal.

Enhanced Audio Capabilities

The DSC 3G‑HD A offers enhanced audio capabilities, including HDMI audio embedding, input gain and attenuation controls, and input audio muting. To suit the needs of the application, the scaler can embed Analogue input audio signals or up to four pairs of AES audio channels from the SDI input onto the HDMI output. The DSC 3G‑HD A provides gain and attenuation adjustments for the Analogue stereo input, as well as the ability to mute the audio input.

Multiple Options for Control and Operation

The DSC 3G‑HD A features front panel controls for quick access to functions. Remote configuration and control are available via RS‑232 and USB. The on-screen menus provide control over the unit's functions and settings, including quick access to key parameters such as input and output video formats and resolutions. Additionally, LED indicators on the front panel provide visual confirmation of input and output signal format, and signal presence. The DSC 3G‑HD A is housed in a 1U, half rack width metal enclosure and can be easily integrated into a variety of environments.

Extron DSC 3G-HD A Key Features

3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SDI to HDMI video scaling - The DSC 3G-HD A provides high quality conversion of signal format and video resolution with audio embedding.
Inputs: One 3G-SDI/HD-SDI/SDI with buffered input loop-through on BNC connectors, balanced/unbalanced stereo on 5-pole captive screw
Output: One HDMI
Accepts 3G-SDI/HD-SDI/SDI signals up to 2.97 Gbps - The DSC 3G-HD A accepts video formats from 480i and 576i to 1080p/60 and 2K. It complies with SMPTE 259M, 292M, 424M, and ITU digital video standards.
Advanced scaling engine with 30-bit precision processing and motion-adaptive deinterlacing for signals up to 1080i - Image scaling and video format conversion are performed at 30-bit precision for enhanced Colour accuracy and picture detail. Advanced deinterlacing for all interlaced signals up to 1080i delivers optimised image quality.
HDMI audio embedding - Analogue stereo audio, or up to four pairs of AES audio channels from the SDI input can be embedded onto the HDMI output.
Selectable output rates from 640x480 to 1920x1200, including 1080p/60 and 2K - Available output rates include computer and video up to 1920x1200, including 1080p/60 and 2K.
Input equalisation and reclocking on buffered loop-through - Automatically equalises incoming 3G-SDI signals, and reshapes and restores signals on the buffered loop-through.
HDMI to DVI Interface Format Correction - Automatically enables or disables embedded audio and InfoFrames, and sets the correct Colour space for proper connection to HDMI and DVI displays.
Aspect ratio control - The aspect ratio of the video output can be controlled by selecting a FILL mode, which provides a full screen output, or a FOLLOW mode, which preserves the original aspect ratio of the input signal.
AFL™ - Accu-RATE Frame Lock - A patented technology exclusive to Extron that locks the output frame rate to the input to eliminate stuttering caused by frame rate conversion.
Front panel LED indicators for signal format, presence, and power - Provides visual indication of system status for real-time feedback and monitoring of key performance parameters.
Image freeze control - A live image can be frozen using RS-232 serial control or USB.
Auto Input Memory - When activated, the unit automatically stores size, position, and picture settings based on the incoming signal. When the same signal is detected again, these image settings are automatically recalled from memory.
Selectable output Colour space - The Colour space can be set to RGB or component video.
On-screen menus - Intuitive on-screen menus allow for easy system setup using the front panel controls. Key parameters such as input and output video formats are conveniently grouped on the initial Quick Setup screen, while additional screens provide full control over the unit's other functions and settings.
Output Standby Mode - The unit can be set to automatically mute video and sync output to the display device when no active input signal is detected. This allows the projector or flat-panel display to automatically enter into standby mode to save energy and enhance lamp or panel life.
Power Save Mode - The unit can be placed in a low power standby state to conserve energy when not in use.
Automatic 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown detection - Advanced film mode processing techniques that help maximise image quality for NTSC, PAL, and 1080i sources that originated from film.
Picture controls for brightness, contrast, and detail, as well as horizontal and vertical positioning, overscan, and sizing
User presets - Memory presets are available for each input to store and recall optimised image settings.
Internal video test patterns and pink noise generator for calibration and setup - The unit offers several video test patterns and audio pink noise to facilitate proper system setup and calibration of display devices.
Audio input gain and attenuation - Gain and attenuation can be adjusted for the Analogue stereo input.
Integrated audio delay - The audio output is automatically delayed to compensate for latency introduced by the video processing.
Input audio muting - The Analogue stereo or SDI audio input can be individually muted.
Front panel security lockout - This feature locks out all front panel functions; all functions however, are available through USB or RS-232 control.
RS-232 control port - Enables the use of serial commands for integration into a control system. Extron products use the SIS™ - Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code commands that allow for quick and easy programming.
Front panel USB configuration port - Enables easy configuration without having to access the rear panel.
Easy setup and commissioning with Extron's PCS - Product Configuration Software - Conveniently configure multiple products using a single software application.
