INTRODUCTION

The HDMI to HDSDI Scaler is the newest revision of our HDSDI conversion line
incorporating HDMI conversion scaled to your choice of SD/HDSDI Single or Dual link
modes. Resolutions of up to 1080p are supported over the HDSDI link for those that
want true “High Defi nition”. Support for HDMI embedded audio is supported.
Performance has been greatly enhanced due to Gennum’s VXP Scaler onboard;
allowing for new features such as: Genlock, Color & Gamma Correction, Noise
Reduction, Detail Enhancement, Aspect Ratio Selection, Pattern Generator Mode, &
Multiple Language Menu Support. Bottom Line? -- More performance, less cost.

HOW IT WORKS

HDMI devices are connected to the HDMI input and SDI devices are connected to the
SDI output. When the source, display and the Scaler are powered and connected, video
signals are converted to the proper format.

RMT-8HDS-IR INSTALLATION

1. Remove battery cover from the back of the RMT-8HDS-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-8HDS-IR remote by pressing ONLY one button at a time. The
indicator light on the remote will fl 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-8HDS-IR ships with two batteries. One battery is required for operation,
the second battery is complimentary.
