1. Read and apply all of the safety and operating instructions provided with your video equipment.
2. Keep all safety and operating instruction for future reference.
3. Unplug this video equipment from the wall outlet before cleaning. Never use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
Use only a damp cloth for cleaning.
4. Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer as they may cause
hazards.
5. Do not use this video equipment near water. Avoid placing it near a bathtub, kitchen sink, or laundry tub,
in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
6. Do not place this video equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The video equipment may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart or
stand recommended by the manufacturer. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer's
instructions, and should use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.
6A. Move any appliance and cart combination with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and a cart to overturn.
7. Side openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation, and to insure reliable operation of the video
equipment and protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never place
the video equipment on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface that may block ventilation openings.
Never place this product near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place this product in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided.
8. Operate only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type

interference to radio communication. However, there is no guarantee that harmful interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Introduction
The TranScanner 2 is a variable line multiplier designed for use with projectors that have a scanning frequency
between 31.5kHz to 64kHz.
The TranScanner 2 cannot be used with a conventional television receiver or projector.
The projector or monitor used with the TranScanner 2 must have an RGB+S input and a horizontal scanning
frequency of between 31.5 kHz - 64 kHz.
Operating at this higher frequency, the TranScanner 2 multiplies the number of scanning lines, interpolating the
additional picture information from detail found in the original source material.
The scanning lines visible on conventional large screen displays are virtually eliminated and the new picture is
bright, colorful, and "film like".
The TranScanner 2 provides source switching for nine different inputs including three component ( Y, Cr, Cb ),
two composite video inputs, two S-VIDEO (Y/C) inputs and two RGB H & V Sync inputs.
An infrared wireless remote control with on-screen graphics selects the input source and adjusts all of the
operating controls.
Video controls include: contrast, brightness, color, tint, and sharpness.
Settings for each individual video input may be adjusted and stored separately in the controller's nonvolatile
memory. These settings will be restored each time that input is selected.
Programming SL-8000 Remote Control to Operate the TranScanner 2
The TranScanner 2 is shipped with a factory pre-programmed remote control.
1. Press the “AUX” and the “MUTE” buttons simultaneously. "SET" will appear on the LCD.
2. Enter the TranScanner 2’s brand code: “080”.
3. Press “AUX” button to complete the programming.
To operate other audio and video devices refer to the “SL-8000 Operating Manual”.

1. SWITCHED +12VDC OUTPUTS
The TranScanner 2 has two switched +12 VDC outlets labeled as RY1 and RY2. These outlets may be used to
trigger a relay in an electric screen, projector lift or some other relay activated device. See “Relay Setup” menu
for more details.
2. RED, GREEN, BLUE AND H, V, C SYNC OUTPUTS
The output video signal from the TranScanner 2 to the display device is made via five BNC connectors for Red,
Green, Blue, H and V Sync. High quality 75 Ohm coaxial cables are recommended to connect the output of
TranScanner 2 to the display device.
The composite C Sync output may be used for displays that accept composite sync input.
3. RGBS INPUTS
The RGBS1 and RGBS2 inputs are provided for sources such as personal computers, HD tuners, video
cameras, graphic generators, and other video equipment with an RGB and Sync output.
Since these sources already operate at a horizontal frequency that is higher than conventional NTSC or PAL
video, the TranScanner 2 does not multiply their scan rate. However, the TranScanner 2 provides source
switching for these inputs, converts H & V Sync to composite Sync, provides control of contrast and brightness,
and amplifies RGB video signals to allow the use of longer cable lengths.
The TranScanner 2 will automatically switch to a RGB input if proper Horizontal or Composite Sync is applied at
pin 13 of the D-15 RGB connector.
The pin assignments for the 15 PIN "D" connector are as follows:
1. Red
2. Green
