3 Overview

The Kramer DigiTOOLS 7408 SDI to Analog Converter is a high quality,

full 10-bit SDI to Analog video converter in a Kramer Tool housing. The

7408 SDI to Analog Converter is a multi-standard unit, converting 525-line

SDI to NTSC or NTSC4.43, and 625-line SDI to PAL-B/D/G/H/I/N.

The 7408 features:

• Reclocked and equalized SDI output (loop)

• 4 times digital over sampling to minimize digital artifacts

• Output configuration to Composite Video and s-Video (Y/C), or

component video (YUV)

• User-friendly Windows PC software, provided for ProcAmp

control via RS-232 for adjusting parameters such as contrast, hue,

saturation and sharpness

• NTSC encoding with or without a 7.5IRE setup

• A perforated cover to prevent overheating

To achieve the best performance:

• Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding

interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching,

and elevated noise levels (often associated with low-quality cables)

• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may

adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer 7408

away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
