Broad Scan SDI™ by Analog Way
is a Broadcast and Professional Computer to
Video Scan Converter. Fitted with Digital DVI
and Analog RGB input, it converts Workstation,
PC or Mac graphic images up to
1600x1200@60Hz (1920x1200 RB) into NTSC
or PAL Video.
Each Computer input has its own monitor loop
through output for the connection of a control dis-
play. Output signal can be both Analog and
Digital, thus Broad Scan SDI can provide a full
Digital signal processing path from the input to
the output.
Broad Scan SDI features a powerful Broadcast
Genlock. Two versions of the Broad Scan SDI
offer either a Digital SDI Genlock (Model
BSD830-DG) or an Analog Black Burst Genlock
(Model BSD830-AG). Genlock input is fitted with
a loop through output allowing to daisy chain
devices. The user can adjust phase and subcar-
rier delay according to specific installation requi-
rements. All Genlock timings meet broadcast
ITU/SMPTE standards.
Broad Scan SDI output formats are:
• NTSC – 525i @ 60 & 59.94 Hz – 15.735 kHz -
ITU / RS170-A,
• PAL – 625i @ 50 Hz – 15.625 kHz – CCIR.
Broad Scan SDI outputs different signals at the
same time in one selected output format NTSC
or PAL: Two 10 Bits SDI, one YUV or RGB, one
S.Video and one Composite Video signals are
available simultaneously.
Broad Scan SDI also outputs Luma Key signal in
both Digital and Analog signals. The Luma key
signal comes in the same format as the output
and perfectly timed. In addition, a Frame Lock

output allows synchronizing an external device
frame rate such as a graphic card.
Broad Scan SDI features real time conversion
with high performance Image Processing. User
adjustments offer an Anti-Flicker filter to signifi-
cantly reduce flickering of the interlaced TV out-
puts, as well as 2D Sharpness, RGB level and
Black level. It converts single wire Computer type
signal into black and white Video image just by
setting a menu. The state of the art high speed
hardware FPGA allows aspect ratio control and a
wide linear or non linear zoom capability up to
1000%. In addition, a new highlighted “zoom fin-
der” is provided to preview the actual part of the
picture to be zoomed (H, V and H&V simulta-
neously). Broad Scan SDI also offers a Frame
Memory to store a full screen image that can be
displayed at any time as well as 1 animated or 4
still logos.
Broad Scan SDI allows embedding Analog
Audio Stereo input signal into the SDI output
signal (fs=48 Khz@20/24 bits), with matched A/V
delay, adjustable level, balance and mute.
Broad Scan SDI is designed to be User Friendly
thanks to many direct access functions such as
Freeze, Frame, Under/Over scan, Aspect Ratio,
Zoom position and size. It also has easy to use
and efficient menus on a clear bright blue LCD
screen. LCD continuously displays Input and
Output status during operation.
Broad Scan SDI includes Computer input format
memory: Up to 16 user presets are stored in the
device corresponding to 16 different input for-
mats. The exact adjustments of the frequently
used formats are instantly recalled which makes
the Broad Scan SDI ideal and very useful for
multi-computer applications or rental.
