HD-SDI to HDMI Scaler Box

Combines SDI and HDMI Equipment for Maximum Interoperability

The HDSDI to HDMI Scaler is the newest revision of our HDSDI conversion line incorporating
SD/HDSDI Single or Dual link mode conversion scaled to HDMI. Resolutions of up to 1080p are
supported over the HDMI link for those that want true "High Definition". Supports HDSDI with
embedded audio and outputs a full HDMI video and audio signal. 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.

SDI

SDI (serial digital interface), used primarily in broadcasting, converts and transmits digital video
through SDI connectors. It enables video sources to process high definition, high quality video.

How It Works

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

OPERATION NOTES

On power up, the HD-SDI to HDMI 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 HDMI 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

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.

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