1. Introduction
1.1. Product Overview
Conveniently convert a dual link SDI signal to a 3G SDI signal over a single-link, or
convert one 3G SDI signal to a dual-link signal in a single unit.
The Thinklogical SDI 3G/Dual Link Exchange is a compact broadcast quality, SDI converter. The system
allows the user to seamlessly convert a 3G SDI signal to a pair of Dual Link SDI signals, or vice versa,
with or without embedded audio and data. All other outputs, HD-SDI and SD-SDI are bypassed to the
outputs without conversion. Not only does the SDI 3G/Dual Link Exchange convert video signals in real-
time, it also provides the highest quality images for professional audio-visual and broadcast end users.
