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
1
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

2 For component video, connect all three connectors: Y, Cb, Cr (also known as YUV)
3 This PC input signal is not scaled, but is available for pass-through when the PC source is selected
4 You do not have to connect all the inputs, connect only those that are required
5 This PC input signal is not scaled, but is available for pass-through when the PC Source is selected
6 The PINOUT should be: PIN 1 = Cr, PIN 2 = Y and PIN 3 = Cb (with pins 6, 7 and 8 as ground respectively)
