INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the HD Mate Scaler.
The HD Mate Scaler switches two Component sources and one DVI source, all with digital
TOSlink and analog audio inputs.

high denition component sources to resolutions up to 1080p. Anything from set-top boxes,
DVD players to the next generation of gaming consoles including the Xbox 360 and PS3
can be plugged into the HD Mate Scaler.
Note: The switching is done by using the RMT-SR-IR remote control. Any HDTV with
HDMI inputs can be connected to the DVI output of the HD Mate by using a DVI to HDMI
adapter, if the cable being used is HDMI.

60/WXGA @ 60(1280x800)/WSXGA @ 60(1680x1050)/
WUXGA @ 60(1920x1200)/1360x768
DVI INPUT: Digital VGA @ (60/72/75/85)/SVGA @ (56/60/72/75/85)/
XGA @ (60/70/75/85)/SXGA @ (60/75/85)/UXGA @ 60/
WXGA @ (1280x800)/WSXGA @ 60(1680x1050)/
WUXGA @ 60(1920x1200)/1360x768
When connecting to a VGA PC source use a 15-pin D-sub cable to connect the output
of a PC to the DVI-I input connector of the HD Mate via a VGA to DVI.
When connecting to a component source (either SD or HD resolution) use a 3RCA to
3RCA cable to connect the YPbPr or YCbCr output of a DVD or Set Top Box to the
y-Cb/Pb-Cr/Pr input connector of the HD Mate.
When connecting to an HDMI source, use an HDMI to DVI cable to connect the HDMI
output of a STB or DVD to the DVI input connector of the HD Mate.
When connecting to a DVI source, use a DVI cable to connect to the DVI output of a
DVI source, such as a DVD or PC, to the DVI input of the HD Mate.
The HD Mate can automatically detect the input resolution of all three inputs.

rmware setting to the factory default value.
auto adjust press this button to optimize the
position of the picture (picture centering) on the screen.
*Note for computers connected to the HD Mate - When your computer boots
up, it looks for an EDID (extended display identication data) from the display to
tell it what monitor is connected and what resolution to output. During boot up of
the computer you should have the DVI input selected so that the computer gets the
EDID of the display that is selected.
This step can also be eliminated by using a DVI Detective.

RMT-SR-IR INSTALLATION
1. Remove battery cover from the back of the RMT-SR-IR remote.
2. Verify that dip switches 1 & 2 are in the down (OFF) position.
3. Insert the battery, hold the battery so that you can see the positive side facing up. The
side that is not marked must be facing down.
4. Test the RMT-SR-IR remote by pressing ONLY one button at a time. The indicator
light on the remote will ash once each time you press a button. WARNING: Do not
press multiple buttons simultaneously and do NOT press buttons rapidly. These actions
will cause the remote to reset and steps 1-4 will have to be repeated.
Note* The RMT-SR-IR ships with two batteries. One battery is required for operation,
the second battery is complimentary.
