Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the iScan VP30 Video Processor powered by ABT. This product delivers a level of quality among the very highest available today.

We are especially pleased to bring you ABT’s new Precision Video Scaling II. This technology

enables precision upconversion of standard and high denition (480i/p, 576i/p, 720p or 1080i) video sources and content to the native or optimum resolution of your display, delivering bestin-class front-of-screen performance. Available output resolutions span from VGA up to 1080p,

including the standard HDTV resolutions of 720p and 1080i.

In addition to our own video scaling technology the iScan VP30 also offers a host of other innova-

tive features, including:

• 4 HDMI (High Denition Multimedia Interface) inputs and 1 HDMI output

• Analog Input and Output, using BNC-style Connectors

• Flexible Digital and Analog Audio Switching

• Precision Audio/Video Time-Delay Synchronization

• Timebase Correction

• Fully Programmable Framerate Conversion

• Input and Output Aspect Ratio Controls

• Flexible Zoom and Pan Controls

• SDI Input Capability (with the DVDO SDI Input Module, P/N SDI-601A)

This Owner’s Manual can help you set up your new iScan VP30, and give you the information

required to match it to your display. It can also show you how to connect it to and use it with the

other components in your system.

Document Conventions

In this Owner’s Manual, the menu structure is referred to in the following abbreviated form:

Navigating the On Screen Display (Image A)

For example, to adjust the ‘Brightness’ press the ‘Picture Control’ button and then using the up/ down arrow buttons, highlight ‘Brightness’ and press enter to adjust the setting.

If you were changing this value to 5, the abbreviated instructions would read as follows:

Unpacking and Inspection

Your iScan VP30 carton should contain the following items:

• iScan VP30 Video Processor

• Universal 6V@5A AC-to-DC Power Converter

• US Power Cord (International Customers, consult your local authorized DVDO reseller)

• Remote Control

• iScan VP30 Product Guide

• iScan VP30 Quick Start Guide

• Serial Cable for Software Updates and Automation (1:1)

The iScan VP30 uses BNC-style analog connectors and an HDMI digital connector to provide

video output signals. You must purchase an output cable to connect to one of these outputs to your display. Different displays have different input connectors, so check your display specications to ensure compatibility.

Both input and output cables can be supplied by your Authorized DVDO Reseller. To nd your nearest Authorized DVDO Reseller, go to www.dvdo.com/res/index.html. There are also a wide selection

of cables and adapters available on our website at www.dvdo.com/pro/pro_acc.html.

Display Compatibility Requirements

DVDO iScan video processing products are compatible with a wide range of displays. These include

digital TVs, projectors, and at panel displays, as well as other emerging technologies that can support

480p or higher resolution video signals.

To determine if your display is compatible with the DVDO iScan VP30, look to see if it has one of the inputs listed below. If not, then your display is probably limited to receive a standard NTSC, PAL or

SECAM interlaced signal and will not function correctly with iScan products.

Digital Inputs

HDMI input DVI-D input

Analog Inputs

VGA HD-15 input 5 BNC RGBHV inputs

Component input (YPbPr or YCbCr)

Component video inputs that are not capable of accepting a 480p signal should be labeled ‘480i’ (NTSC) or ‘576i’ (PAL/SECAM).

The following types of displays should be compatible with an iScan video processor since a large majority of them can support higher resolution signals:

• Plasma displays

• LCD-based at panel and front & rear projection displays

• DLP-based front & rear projection displays

• LCoS-based front & rear projection displays (D-ILA™ & SXRD™ included)

• CRT-based Direct View HDTVs and Computer Monitors with front and rear projection displays
