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.
