Grass Valley ADVC-G1 In Stock $949! Any In to SDI Multi-Functional Converter/ Upconverter with Frame Synchronizer
The ADVC G1 is a compact and competitively priced converter, designed to convert and/or upconvert any kind of professional/broadcast signals to HD/SD-SDI with the full support of the latest 3G technology.
The ADVC G1 will convert and/or upconvert, at the user's choice, sources from HDMI, DVI, component, composite, S-Video, AES/EBU, and analog audio to HD/SD-SDI (3G/1.5G support). With its audio inputs, the ADVC G1 can also be used as an audio embedder. It also features a reference in port which can serve as a frame synchronizer for the analog inputs, eliminating the need to purchase separate expensive equipment.

1) What happens if there is no reference input signal? When no reference signal is present, the ADVC® G1 will generate its own internal reference signal. 2) What is the delay IN ? OUT for ADVC-G1 • Interlaced to interlaced: 2.5 frames • Interlaced to progressive: 2.0 frames • Progressive to interlaced: 3.0 frames • Progressive to progressive: 2.0 frames 3) ADVC G1 has DVI-IN, what is the refresh rate for PC output? ADVC G1 supports 60 Hz for PC output. 4) What is the setup level for analog video input? The setup level is set to 7.5 IRE by default. This can be switched to 0 IRE via a dip switch on the rear panel.5) Can the analog audio input level be adjusted? Reference level can be switched via a dip switch on the rear panel to 0 dBu or +4 dBu. 6) ADVC-G1 has an upconvert function, but does it have a frame-rate conversion function? ADVC-G1 does not have any frame-rate conversion capability. The upconvert function is used to convert SD inputs like S-Video, component video, and composite video to 720p, 1080i, 1080p (selectable in setup) over SDI. |
7) Does ADVC G1 have a downconvert function? ADVC G1 does not support downconversion. 8) What happens when a 4:3 image is output as a 16:9 image? Display mode can be changed via a dip switch on the rear panel, for the following outputs: • Standard (letterboxed with black borders on right and left side of the screen) • Full Screen (image stretched across the complete screen to fill the screen) • Flex view (image stretched more across the sides of the screen (and less towards the center of the screen) to fill the screen) 9) When outputting a 4:3 video to 16:9, is there no mode to cut the top and bottom of the screen? The ADVC-G1 does not support this mode. 10) Can you embed all eight channels of HDMI audio to an SDI output? Yes, it is possible. You can also choose which audio to embed into the SDI. However, when a DVI video signal has been chosen as the video input, you cannot choose HDMI audio. 11) What is the USB connector on the back of the unit for? This connector can be used for firmware updates as well as external control, and status monitoring. |
(1) Power LED – Lights when the ADVC G1 is operating.
(2) Up Conv. LED – Lights in upconversion mode.
(3) SDI OUT – 3G/HD/SD-SDI output ports.
(4) Ref IN – Reference signal input port. The LED is lit when REF is selected for reference signal source, and if the reference signal input via Ref IN can be
synchronized.
(5) AES/EBU IN – AES/EBU digital audio input port. The LED is lit when AES/EBU digital is selected for audio input.
(6) ANALOG AUDIO IN (1/4" TRS 2ch) – Balanced audio input ports. The LED is lit when balanced analog is selected for audio input.
(7) HDMI IN – HDMI input port. The LED marked with “V” blinks when HDMI is selected for video input, and the LED is lit when a stable signal input is detected. The LED marked with “A” is lit when HDMI embedded is selected for audio input.
(8) DVI-I IN – DVI-I input port. The LED blinks when DVI-D or DVI-A is selected for video input. The LED is lit when a stable signal input is detected.
(9) ANALOG VIDEO IN – Analog video input ports. The LED blinks when component, S-Video or composite is selected for video input. The LED is lit when a stable signal input is detected.
