HDMI to 3G-SDI Signal Converter

The BG-H3GS converts an HDMI source to an SDI output for professional video workflows. It accepts HDMI input timings including 1080p at 60, 50, 30, 25 and 24 frames per second alongside 1080i, 720p and standard-definition signals. A locked 2.970 Gbit/s transmission rate preserves full signal integrity across the link.

Suited for Long-Run SDI Distribution

Camera operators and AV installers who need to send 1080p60 over 3G-SDI up to 100 metres will find the converter fits the requirement. It also reaches 200 metres at HD-SDI and 300 metres at SD-SDI for legacy formats. Users requiring 4K resolution, HDR metadata pass-through or fibre-optic extension must look at different equipment.

Maximum 3G-SDI Cable Reach 100 Metres

The single specification that decides suitability is the 100-metre limit for 3G-SDI at 1080p60. If the installation demands a longer run at that bit-rate, an optical transmitter or active repeater becomes necessary. Shorter runs or lower formats can use the 200-metre HD-SDI or 300-metre SD-SDI windows instead.

Questions about this item

Will this converter work with my older SD-SDI monitor that only accepts 480i?

Yes, the BG-H3GS accepts 480i over HDMI and outputs SD-SDI, which can travel up to 300 metres or 984 feet on standard coax.

How can I verify the converter is passing a 1080p60 signal correctly after I connect it?

Check that the SDI display shows a stable 1080p image at 60 Hz and that the link operates at the 2.970 Gbit/s rate listed for 3G-SDI.

Does the box include the HDMI and BNC cables I need, or must I buy them separately?

Only the converter unit is supplied; HDMI and BNC cables are not included and must be purchased separately.
