Pro-video signal bridge
The Gefen EXT-3G-HD-C converts SDI sources to HDMI for broadcast, post-production and live-event workflows. It accepts 3G-SDI Levels A and B, single-link HD-SDI and SD-SDI at up to 1080p60 and delivers a locked HDMI Type A output at 1080p Full HD with YCbCr 4:4:4 or DVI RGB 4:4:4 colour handling.
Mounting kit and Syner-G control
A surface-mounting bracket and ISO 1/4-20 thread let the .3 lb unit sit on a camera rig, rack shelf or Velcro pad without extra hardware. The bundled 12 V DC supply operates from 6 to 24 V, and the Mini-B USB port connects to Gefen Syner-G software for device discovery, configuration, monitoring and firmware upgrades.
DIP-switch setup and power tolerance
Five DIP switches select output mode and SDI format before power-up, so no laptop is required for basic commissioning. The wide DC input range prevents failures when the converter is powered from battery plates or regulated distribution boxes, while the locking power connector resists accidental disconnects in mobile environments.

Questions about this item
Does the converter need any firmware updates or internal components replaced over time?
No internal parts require replacement; firmware can be updated through the USB Mini-B port using the Gefen Syner-G software suite.
Which specification caps the video chain first during continuous operation — the 150 MHz pixel clock or the 225 MHz TMDS clock?
The 150 MHz maximum pixel clock is the limiting factor for sustained 1080p60 signals.
How much heat or fan noise does the unit produce when powered all day?
It draws a maximum of 2 W, has no fan, and runs silently with only a blue power LED and green HDMI indicator showing activity.
