1 Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing your CSC-550 Video to SXGA / HD Scaler. This product is ideal for:

 Projection systems in conference rooms, boardrooms, hotels and churches  Home theater up-scaling

The package includes the following items:

 CSC-550 Video to SXGA / HD Scaler  Power adapter (12V DC input)  Infra red remote control transmitter  This user manual

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

 Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

 Review the contents of this user manual

3 Overview

The CSC-550 Video to SXGA / HD Scaler is a high quality converter for upscaling composite video, s-Video (YC), and SD component video to XGA1 and HD resolutions. It also has a computer graphics (XGA) input, which – when selected, or when the machine is not powered - is routed directly (bypassed) to the output. Video inputs are de-interlaced and scaled to the selected PC or HDTV resolutions, as follows:

 VGA (640x480)  SXGA (1280x1024)  720p

 SVGA (800x600)  480p  1080i

 XGA (1024x768)  576p

1 The terminology XGA is used throughout this manual, where this implies any RGBHV signal on an HD15 connector

having a resolution from VGA up to SXGA

The CSC-550 Video to SXGA / HD Scaler also features:

 Automatic detection of NTSC, PAL-B, PAL-G, PAL-I, PAL-D, and

SECAM video standards

 An On-Screen Display (OSD) for easy setup and adjustment, accessible

via the IR remote control and via the front-panel buttons

 A high-performance adaptive 3D comb filter (for precise color

management)

 Per-pixel motion compensated de-interlacing for artifact-free video images  Automatic detection for 3:2 pulldown for 24fps film source material  Frame rate conversion of 50Hz to 60Hz for PAL input signals  A Vertical Temporal (VT) Filter for removing jagged artifacts  Advanced color/luminance transient improvement circuitry  A PC Input connector for easy integration into an existing system  A built-in procamp for convenient signal adjustment  A non-volatile memory that retains the last settings used

The machine is fed from an external 12V DC source, making it suitable for field operation.

Control your CSC-550:

 Directly, via the front panel push buttons  Remotely, from the infra-red remote control transmitter

To achieve the best performance:

 Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise-levels (often associated with low quality cables)

 Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position

your CSC-550 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.

Warning – Use only the input power wall adapter that is

provided with this unit.

Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall

before installing or removing device or servicing unit.

5 Connecting the CSC-550 Video to SXGA / HD Scaler

Connect4 your CSC-550, as illustrated in the example in Figure 2:

1. Connect an s-Video source (for example, an s-Video camcorder) to the YC INPUT 4p connector.

2. Connect a composite video source (for example, a composite video player) to the CV INPUT RCA connector.

3. Connect a component video source (for example, a DVD player) to the Y, Cb and Cr INPUT RCA connectors.

4. Connect an SXGA graphics source to the SXGA PASS INPUT HD15 connector5.

5. Connect the SXGA/HD OUT HD15 connector to a video acceptor (for example, a plasma display) as follows:

 When connecting to an XGA acceptor (RGBHV), then connect to

the acceptor’s XGA connector

 When connecting to a component acceptor (Y, Cb, Cr), then

connect as shown in Table 3
