1. Introduction

1.1 General

Thank you for purchasing the Black Box Model AC139A, a powerful
video processor and scaling product. It combines the functions of many
products in one compact and versatile unit. It has both high definition
analog as well as digital inputs. Two outputs are available
(simultaneously active†), one analog (RGBHV) and one digital DVI-D
(HDMI™ compatible).

Figure 1 – Block Diagram

The user can select the desired input using individual buttons on the front
panel, on the included IR-remote, or by issuing ASCII RS232 commands.

The output resolution can be set can range between 480i to 1080p for
HDTV, or VGA (640x480) to WUXGA (1920X1200) for the PC. The
unit uses the latest high-resolution video scaling techniques to produce a
superior video output for a crisp image on the output display. Both video
outputs can also be mirrored horizontally making it ideal for
teleprompting and rear projection systems where the image needs to be
.flipped.

The desired output resolution is set directly using individual buttons on
the IR remote, or via unique ASCII RS232 commands. The front panel
can also be used to set the output resolution. A user-friendly on-screen­display (OSD) is used to control the operation of the device from the
front panel. There are also ‘hot-key’ combinations on the front panel to
directly set the output to basic PC or HDTV resolutions so that a picture
can be displayed on any LCD.

†

For HDMI™ compliance, when the DVI input is selected, and HCDP content protection is
detected on the signal, the HD15 analog output is blanked. The front panel input LED will
blink when this condition is detected. The Digital DVI output will be active when connected to
a HDCP compliant LCD (such as a display with HDMI™ input).

Model AC

139A

The DVI input is HDCP compliant. This allows the unit to be used as an
HDMI™ Video Scaler (HDMI™ audio is not passed through). When the
digital input has HDCP encryption, the DVI output must be connected to
a HDCP compatible LCD (by definition all displays with HDMI™ input
must be HDCP compliant).

Built-in universal power supply keeps the installations clutter free.

The unit can be used to convert and change resolution in the following

2. Installation

2.1 Connecting the Video Inputs and Outputs

The video scaler can accept a VGA (analog RGBHV from PC), DVI
(digital video from PC or HDMI™ source), and Component Video (Y Pb
Pr) from any source.

When the source is from an HDMI™ output, an HDMI to DVI cable or
adapter is required. Please contact Black Box if you need to purchase this
cable.

Two outputs connectors are provided. Both show the selected input at the
desired output resolution.

Figure 2 - Rear Panel

Video cables for connecting the I/O ports are not supplied with the unit.

If you would like to mount the unit in a rack, please contact Black Box to
purchase a rack-mount accessory kit for the unit.

Example of HDMI™ to DVI Cable

Video Inputs

Y Pb Pr: This is also known as Component Video input (analog) and on
some equipment it may be labeled as YCbCr. Since this input supports all
interlace and progressive resolutions from 480i to 1080p, you can
connect it to both legacy and new equipment alike as long as it has
component video output. For a list of supported resolutions, please see
Specifications Section titled “Supported Input Formats” found later in
this manual. For example; if you are using the DVI output of the scaler to
connect to the HDMI input of an HDTV, you could use the YPbPr input
to connect your legacy DVD player, or PlayStation™ equipment to your
HDTV.

VGA: This is the analog RGBHV signal from a PC. A wide range of
resolutions from VGA to WUXGA is supported. For a list of supported
resolutions, please see Specifications Section titled “Supported Input
Formats” found later in this manual. This input provides a convenient
way to display your PC’s video without losing clarity on any TV or
HDTV as long as the TV has either HDMI™ or component inputs. Since
the AC139A uses state of the art video scaling, often you will achieve a
sharper image on your LCD even if it has a VGA input!

DVI: This is the digital input to the Scaler. You can connect to the DVI­D or DVI-I outputs of any PC. The DVI input of the unit supports HDCP
encryption. This means that it is compatible with Content Protected
HDMI™ video sources. However, the audio of HDMI source is not
processed through and you should configure and use the separate audio
output of your HDMI™ source. The DVI input of the scaler can handle
most HDTV and PC resolutions. For a list, please see Specifications
Section titled “Supported Input Formats” found later in this manual.

Note about DVI input Cable

If you will be connecting to an HDMI™ source you will either need an
HDMI to DVI cable or an HDMI to DVI adapter.

If you will be connecting to a DVI source you will then need a male to
male DVI cable. DVI-D cables will work since they do not have the
extra pins that DVI-I cables have, but since the AC139A utilizes a

connector with all the pin positions you could use a DVI-I cable as long
as your source also has all the pin positions.

M

ulti-format HD Video Scaler

11

Video Outputs

VGA: This is a dual purpose output. Depending on the output resolution
you set it will output a PC compatible signal.

Note about HDCP

For HDMI™ compliance, if the input is from an HDMI™ source with
content protection, the VGA output is blanked and front panel LED
blinks.

DVI: This is the TMDS digital output of the Scaler. You can connect this
to any PC compatible LCD with a DVI compatible connector input, or
any HDTV with a HDMI™ compatible connector input using the
appropriate cable.

If you are not getting any image on your display, it could be that the
output resolution setting of the AC139A is not supported by your LCD.
Using serial commands or the IR remote, one can quickly switch between
various output resolutions. However since the front panel operation relies
on OSD menu for navigation, it is very difficult to change the output
setting from the front panel if you cannot see the OSD. Therefore to
quickly jump to a basic resolution that is supported by virtually all
displays, is a great feature.

If you press and hold down the MENU button, and then hit the ▲ button
you get a XGA output which is supported by most PC compatible
displays.
If you press and hold down the MENU button, and then hit the ▼ button
you get a 480p output which is supported by most HDTV compatible
displays.

automatically store it.

Standard: Standard factory default settings for optimal display
Vivid: High saturation picture for optimal display in a bright room.
Movie: Picture for comfortable low brightness display in a dark room.

Scale - select over-scan when the input source is SD or HD video to

ensure there is no black band around screen boundary. Select under-scan
when input source is a PC signal to ensure entire contents (all the way to
the edge) are within the screen boundary.

Mirror – Select mirror to horizontally flip the image. This is useful for
teleprompting and rear projection systems.

Noise Reduction - This function only works when the input source is
analog RGB or component. It will not work for the DVI input. There are
four steps of Noise Reduction: Off, Low, Middle, High. The Noise
Reduction will remove the noise that results from the analog to digital
conversion and digital scaling process.

5. Troubleshooting

There are no field serviceable parts or circuits in the device. If you think
that the device is malfunctioning, please first try to reset to the factory
default settings (using the RESET button on the IR remote control), and
set the output either to XGA (Press MENU + ▲) or 480p (Press MENU
+ ▼) to obtain an image on your LCD.

If you are having trouble displaying a picture from an HDMI™ source,
ensure that the display device connected to the AC139A is HDCP
compliant.

For HDMI™ compliance, when the DVI input is selected, and HCDP
content protection is detected on the signal, the HD15 analog output is
blanked. The front panel input LED will blink when this condition is
detected. The Digital DVI output will be active when connected to a
HDCP compliant LCD (such as a display with HDMI™ input).

Contacting Black Box

If you determine that your scaler is malfunctioning, do not attempt to
repair the unit. There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit.
Opening the unit will void the warranty. Contact Black Box at 724-746-

5500. Before you do, make a record of the problem. We will be able to
provide more efficient and accurate assistance if you have a complete
description.

Shipping and Packaging

If you need to transport or ship your scaler:

• Package it carefully. Use the original container if possible.

• Before you shipping the unit, contact us to get a Return
Authorization (RA) number.
