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. The Gefen HD Mate Scaler allows you to upscale and switch your standard deﬁ nition or

high deﬁ nition 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.

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.

The HD Mate accepts two component and one DVI inputs with audio inputs on each. The formats supported by these inputs are as follows:

OPERATION CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS

Picture mode: There are four picture modes for customers to choose from. User: Select to adjust to your favorite setting and store it. Standard: Standard factory default setting for optimal display in a normal

environment.

Vivid: High saturation picture for optimal display in a bright room. Movie: Picture for comfortable low brightness display in a dark room. Scale: Select overscan when input source is SD or HD video to ensure there will be no

black band around the screen border. Select underscan when input source is PC signal to ensure full picture content will fall within the screen border.

Noise Reduction (NR): This function only works when the input source is analog RGB or component, It will not work for the DVI input. There are four settings for Noise Reduction-Off, Low, Middle, and High. The Noise Reduction will remove the noise that results from the analog to digital conversion and digital scaling process.

H & V position: Adjust for the best horizontal and vertical position of the picture on the screen.

User: Select to adjust to your favorite color temperature setting. Normal: Normal color tone setting where white is pure white. Warm: Warm color tone makes white a little reddish. Cool: Cool color tone makes white a little bluish.

Connect all the sources to the DVI and/or Component Inputs to the HD Mate. Connect the HDMI/DVI/VGA display to the DVI output, with the proper cable and/or

adapter, on the HD Mate. Connect the 5VDC power supply to the HD Mate Controlling the HD Mate using the RMT-SR-IR:

By Pressing ... Does...

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 identiﬁ cation 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.

USING THE HD MATE SCALER

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 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-SR-IR ships with two batteries. One battery is required for operation, the second battery is complimentary.

DDC

Short form for Display Data Channel. It is a VESA standard for communication between a monitor and a video adapter. Using DDC, a monitor can inform the video card about its properties, such as maximum resolution and color depth. The video card can then use this information to ensure that the user is presented with valid options for conﬁ guring the display.

DDWG

Digital Display Working Group DDWG are the creators of the DVI speciﬁ cation.

DVI

Digital Visual Interface. Connection standard developed by Intel for connecting computers to digital monitors such as ﬂ at panels and DLP projectors. A consumer electronics version, not necessarily compatible with the PC version, is used as a connection standard for HDTV tuners and displays. Transmits an uncompressed digital signal to the display. The latter version uses HDCP copy protection to prevent unauthorized copying.

HDCP

High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection. Created by Intel, HDCP is used with HDTV signals over DVI and HDMI connections and on D-Theater D-VHS recordings to prevent unauthorized duplication of copy written material.

HDMI

The High-Deﬁ nition Multi-media Interface (HDMI) is an industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any compatible digital audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, and A/V receiver and a compatible digital audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV).

HDTV

High-Deﬁ nition T elevision. The high-resolution subset of our DTV system. The A TSC deﬁ nes HDTV as a 16:9 image with twice the horizontal and vertical resolution of our existing system, accompanied by 5.1 channels of Dolby Digital audio. The CEA deﬁ nes HDTV as an image with 720 progressive or 1080 interlaced active (top to bottom) scan lines. 1280:720p and 1920:1080i are typically accepted as high-deﬁ nition scan rates.

RS-232

Recommended Standard 232. This is the de facto standard for communication through PC serial ports. It can refer to cables and ports that support the RS232 standard.

VESA

Video Electronic Standards Association, a consortium of manufacturers formed to establish and maintain industry wide standards for video cards and monitors. VESA was instrumental in the introduction of the Super VGA and Extended VGA video graphics standards with a refresh rate of 70 Hz, minimizing ﬂ icker and helping to reduce user eyestrain and fatigue.
