Gefen Professional Quality Video Scalers Now Available

Connectivity solutions provider Gefen have announced the availability of two new professional quality video scalers.
The HD-SDI to HDMI and HDMI to HD-SDI Scalers offer high-end scaling abilities that broadcast professionals will appreciate when integrating and testing audio/video systems.
Both employ Gennum's VXP top-of-the-line GF9351 Image Processor that provides value-added features, notably genlock control and proprietary 10-bit motion adaptive video de-interlacing capabilities to ensure perfectly timed video performance.
The HD-SDI to HDMI Scaler allows consumer displays to be used for gauging video performance and testing, converting a HD-SDI source to HDMI format and scaling video in multiple HD resolutions to 1080p. It outputs digital audio embedded in the HDMI signals and mirrored in S/PDIF format.
The HDMI to HD-SDI Scaler connects consumer video sources, such as games, satellite television systems and HD DVD players, to the HD-SDI format, scaling the video in both dual and single link modes for standard and high definition resolutions.
Both scalers are installed with Gefen's trademark plug and play ease, requiring simple connections to perform. A simple menu guides users through advanced scaling selections including noise reduction, detail enhancements, frame rate conversions, test patterns, colour corrections and custom timing outputs.
