DVC 501 SD |
3G-SDI to DVI/RGB/Component Converter |
60-1033-01 |
The Extron DVC 501 SD converts SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI serial digital video signals to DVI-D and analog RGB or component video formats. It features automatic equalization of input signals, extraction of embedded AES3 audio, and RS-232 serial control. The DVC 501 SD is ideal for applications including television production, medical imaging, military simulation, houses of worship, and live events that require interfacing SDI signals from broadcast-type sources to professional / consumer-level displays and signal distribution systems that only accept DVI or analog signals. It is compliant with SMPTE 259M, 292M, 424M, and ITU digital video standards.
The DVC 501 SD accepts data rates from NTSC and PAL to HDTV 1080p/60. An input loop-through delivers reshaped and restored multi-rate SDI signals. The RGB output can be set for RGBHV, RGBS, and RGsB. Bi-level or tri-level sync can be selected when the unit is set for component video output.
- AES3 audio de-embedding
— An embedded AES3 stereo audio stream can be extracted and then output from the DVC 501 SD. Audio output can be balanced or unbalanced, and adjusted for gain and attenuation.
- RS-232 control
— Using serial commands, the DVC 501 SD can be controlled and configured via the Extron Windows¢ç-based control program, or integrated into a control system. Extron products use the SIS¢â - Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code commands that allow for quick and easy programming.
- Front panel security lockout
— This feature locks out all front panel functions except for input selection; all functions however, are available through RS-232 control.
- Internal universal power supply
— The 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, international power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
