2.1 Introduction
Scalers work to conver t and scale a type of video /audio signal to another type
of video /audio signal. This enables you to use differently formatted video/audio
signals on differently formatted display screens. Scaling allows for changing
resolutions to increase quality or improve compatibility.
The Component/Composite to HDMI Scaler (AVSC-VIDEO-HDMI) converts
a component or CVBS signal to HDMI compliant format. It also supports S/ PDIF
audio through RCA into HDMI output. With this ex tra feature, us ers can
combine as ynchronous video and audio sources into an HDMI compliant A / V
signal.
2.2 Features
• Auto-detect function.
• Locking HDMI conne ctor.
• Locking power or optional USB powered.
