3G-SDI (Level B) to HD-SDI Dual Link Conversion
To interface between 3-Gbps single link receiver and HD-SDI dual link transmitter equipment, perform a
3G-SDI (level B) to HD-SDI dual link conversion. This conversion takes a single 3G-SDI signal and
separates the signal into two 1.485 Gbps signals, which can either be a dual link 1080p signal or two
separate co-timed HD data streams.
