reasonable protection against such interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause interference, in which case the user at there own expense will be required to take
whatever measures may be necessary to correct the interference.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from
digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of the Canadian
The SC1080-H is a multiple format switching video scaler. It has 5
different types of video inputs and a scaled digital output that can be
switched to any of the inputs. The SC1080-H accepts various input
formats and resolutions and scales to a specific output format and
resolution.
Inputs are: HDMI (up to 1080i/p), PC (from VGA (640x480) to WUXGA
(1920x1200), Component Video (SD and HD from 480p to 1080i/p), Svideo (NTSC or PAL) and Composite Video (NTSC or PAL).
The output format and resolution can be specified as either PC (VGA
(640x480) to WUXGA (1920x1200)) or Component Video (YPbPr from
480i/p to 1080i/p).
The Video Scaler can be controlled in many ways including: front panel
lighted pushbuttons (with On-Screen Display menus), using the included
IR remote control, or RS-232 Serial interface. The controls include: input
switching, setting the output resolution, picture adjustment (color,
brightness, contrast, and sharpness), aspect ratio (Standard, 16:9 or
4:3), digital noise reduction, 3D comb filter ON/Off, and many other
advanced features.
The SC1080-H is ideal for use with in boardrooms, classrooms, digital

desired high resolution format output. The TV inputs are composite video
(CV), S-Video (Mini-Din connector), YPbPr input (3 RCA connectors),
PC (HD15) and HDMI™.
Figure 2 - Rear Panel
S-Video: Use an S-Video cable to connect the S-Video output of the
source equipment to the connector labeled “S-Video” on the back of the
Video Scaler. The format can be NTSC or PAL. This channel accepts
stereo audio input via (2) RCA connectors.
Composite Video (CV): Use a Composite video cable to connect the
composite video output of the source equipment to the connector labeled
“CV” on the back of the Video Scaler. The format can be NTSC or PAL.
This channel accepts stereo audio input via (2) RCA connectors.
YPbPr: Use a 3 RCA-to-3 BNC YPbPr cable to connect the YPbPr
output of the source equipment to the device. The format can be NTSC
or PAL. This channel accepts stereo audio input via (2) RCA connectors.
PC input: Connect the source computer's VGA output signal to the
HD15 connector labeled “PC” on the device. This channel accepts stereo
audio input via a 3.5mm audio jack (TRS – Tip, Ring, and Sleeve).
HDMI™ input: Use an HDMI™ cable to connect the HDMI™ output of
the source equipment to the device. This channel accepts digital audio
input via HDMI or stereo audio via a 3.5mm audio jack (TRS – Tip, Ring,
and Sleeve).

3.5 Front Panel Lockout
Under certain circumstances it may be desirable to disable the front
panel controls (e.g. to prevent unauthorized or accidental changes to the
settings while the unit is in use). To disable the front panel controls you
must use the RS-232 port (see Serial Control section for details).
It is still possible to remove the lockout from the front panel by
performing a full factory default reset operation!
To reset to the factory default settings press the RESET button on the IR
remote control for 5-10 seconds. The SC1080-H led’s will turn on while
the reset button is depressed and turn back off when the software reset
has completed.

4. Serial Control
The video input selection and signal parameter settings for the SC1080H can be controlled via an external control system by using the RS-232
port on the unit.
Use a straight thru M/F DB9 serial cable to connect the unit to the PC.
Only the TX, RX and GND pins are implemented in the connector. The
RS232 port operates at 19200 baud, no parity and 1 stop bit. In
response to a valid command, the SC1080-H will respond with CR, LF,
>, SPACE and then the listed response. Commands may be entered as
uppercase or lowercase.
With most commands, the SC1080-H will reply immediately, but other
commands may take a few seconds to complete. The user must wait for
the full response before issuing more commands to the unit.
For Example
Sending a POWER ON Command (“S POWER 1<CR>”) results in the
following response from the SC1080-H:
SENT
53 20 50 4F 57 45 52 20 31 0D
S P O W E R 1 CR
RECEIVED
0D 0A 3E 20 50 4F 57 45 52 20 4F 4E 0D 0A
CR LF > P O W E R O N CR LF
The unit must be powered on with either the front panel push button or
by sending the POWER ON Command before the unit will respond as
listed. Sending any commands with the unit powered off will result in the
following response from the unit.
Please turn on power. ( K POWER / S POWER ON ).
