INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the DVI to RGBS with Scaler. Your complete
satisfaction is very important to us.

The Gefen DVI to RGBS with Scaler

The DVI to RGBS with Scaler takes your DVI-I computer video card/HDTV video
signal and converts it to analog RGBS formats. Now you can display desktop or
laptop computer and/or HDTV content on your analog RGBS display or projector.
Available and selectable video formats include RGB, RGBS at sync 0.3V, RGBS
at sync 5V, and YPbPr Component video.

How It Works

Connect your analog monitor to the BNC female connector outputs of the DVI to
RGBS with Scaler. Connect the DVI (M-M) cable between the DVI connector on
your computer’s graphic card and the DVI-I input of the DVI to the RGBS Scaler
Box. Power-cycle all connected equipment, and you will see converted DVI video
on your analog display. The Scaler generates all the necessary digital to analog
conversion signals to make the connection between the digital input and the
analog outputs work.

Switching or adjusting the video formats is effortless with the front panel buttons
or an optional IR remote control.

Note: This device does not support HDCP.
VGA video can also be input to this device by using a VGA-to-DVI adapter or

DVI-A cable (sold separately) on the DVI-I input side.
