INTRODUCTION

The HDSDI to DVI PLUS Scaler is the newest revision of our HDSDI conversion line
incorporating SD/HDSDI Single or Dual link mode conversion scaled to Full Single
link DVI-D. Resolutions of up to 1080p are supported over the DVI link for those
that want true “High Defi nition”. 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

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

FEATURES

• 10-bit resolution for greater precision and dynamic range

• Proprietary 10-bit motion adaptive video de-interlacing with edge interpolation for HD /
SD formats.

• Advanced noise reduction and detail enhancement

• Max. active image size of 2048 samples x 2048 lines PBP processing for various
combinations of video and graphics with alpha blending

• Fully integrated sprite based multi-plane OSD controller.

• Frame rate conversion to / from any refresh rate

• Pattern mode w/ color bars & cross hatch patterns

• Color correction

• Noise Reduction

• Detail Enhancement

• Brightness Adjustment

• Gamma Selection

• Aspect Ratio Select

• Custom Timing output mode

• French/English Menu Set

• RS-232 upgradeable fi rmware

• RS-232 and/or IR Control

• Genlock

RMT-8HDS-IR INSTALLATION

On power up, the HD-SDI to DVI Scaler will automatically detect the input format of the
input. The unit is controlled using the included 8 button remote.

Pressing the OUTPUT button cycles the HD-SDI to DVI Scaler through the following
output modes: 640x480 - 800x600 - 720p - 1080i

Other functions and output modes can be accessed through the onscreen menu.
(To Restore I/O settings, simply recycle power on the Scaler)

To bring up the onscreen menu, press the MENU button. Navigation is done using the
UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT and ENTER buttons.

The SOURCE button selects the input source (Input 1 or Input 2)
*Note: Both dip switches under the remote battery cover must initially be in the OFF

position to communicate with the Scaler. For more information, please see page 7 for
RMT-8HDS-IR Installation instructions.

RMT-8HDS-IR INSTALLATION

Remove battery cover from the back of the RMT-8HDS-IR remote.

1.
Verify that dip switches 1 & 2 are in the down (OFF) position.

2.
Insert the battery, hold the battery so that you can see the positive side facing up.

3.
The side that is not marked must be facing down.

Test the RMT-8HDS-IR remote by pressing ONLY one button at a time. The

4.
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.

The following are the dip switch combinations that correspond to the Remote Code
menu option on the HD-SDI to DVI Scaler (Please see Menu Functions section for
