1. Introduction
1.1 General
The SC-HDMI-2A can scale a DVI or HDMI signal up or down to various resolutions. It can embed external analog or digital audio sources in to the output HDMI stream, and conversely can extract audio from HDMI source and output it in both analog (L/R line level) and digital (S/PDIF TOSLINK) formats.
The SC-HDMI-2A has the ability to output a wide range of resolutions and refresh rates regardless of the input timing and resolution. The output resolution can be set to match the native resolution of the display or manually specified by the user. The unit is also able to perform a real-time horizontal axis flip (mirroring) which makes it ideal for teleprompting applications.
The SC-HDMI-2A features an OSD menu for configuration, picture setup, system information and other advanced options.
1.2 Features
Scales any DVI or HDMI video signal up or down Extracts audio from an HDMI source and outputs it
simultaneously on analog and digital S/PDIF audio
Embeds audio to an HDMI stream from analog or
digital S/PDIF audio source
Horizontal axis flip (mirroring) for teleprompter apps State-of-the-art video scaling for real-time frame
rate capture & conversion
Supports 50/60Hz frame rate conversion Motion video adaptive, temporal de-interlacing, and

3. Operation
3.1 OSD Menu

3.2 Obtaining an image on the screen
As shipped from the factory or after a factory default reset, the unit output resolution setting should be “NATIVE”. This means that upon power-up the device will read the EDID of your display and output a compatible resolution resulting in a picture. However, if the output setting is not at “NATIVE”, or if the unit cannot ascertain the EDID of the display, then you may not get a picture. Since most settings are done by means of an on-screen display (OSD), it is necessary to get an image on the display first.
For this purpose, you can use one of two preset button combinations to set a resolution that your display supports. Two options are available (depending on the display device):
1. If the display is HDTV compatible (with an HDMI™ connection), then a resolution of 480p should result in an image.
2. If the display is PC compatible (DVI), then XGA (1024x768) should result an image.
Once you have an image, you can call up the OSD menu to make further changes if necessary.
At any time, pressing the UP ARROW and MENU button together will change the output resolution to 1024x768 @ 60 Hz.
Pressing the MENU and DOWN ARROW together will change the output resolution to 480P @ 60 Hz.
3.3 Setting the output resolution
Press the MENU button to open the OSD and use the arrow buttons () to select the OUTPUT option. Press the MENU button.
Use arrows to scroll through the available resolutions listed. See Section 5.1 below for a list of all available resolutions.

3.4 Extracting Audio
The SC-HDMI-2A can extract audio from the HDMI™ source input and simultaneously output to analog and digital S/PDIF audio out.
Note that the extracted HDMI™ audio may lead the video as it appears on the display by several milliseconds. This is due to added latency due to processing of video that occurs in the display. The SC-HDMI-2A can correct for this with a built-in audio delay of 40ms, 110ms, or 150ms. If a different delay time is needed then we recommend using the Hall Research Universal Audio Delay Processor (AD-340) which is capable of delaying digital or analog audio for any amount of time up to 510ms.
3.5 Embedding Audio
The SC-HDMI-2A can embed audio into the HDMI™ output stream. To embed audio you must pull up the OSD menu, navigate to the AUDIO menu item, and change the source to wherever you want audio to come from: HDMI, L/R (analog stereo), or OPTICAL (digital S/PDIF).
Note that embedding audio does require a display. If no display is connected then the HDMI™ source will not output a stream.
3.6 Factory Defaults
There are two ways to reset the unit back to its factory default configuration.
1. If you are able to access the OSD menu you can select the option from the main menu.
2. You can also set the device back to factory defaults by pressing and holding the MENU button while connecting the power supply.

4. Troubleshooting
There are no field serviceable parts or circuits in the device. If you think the device is malfunctioning (or you have no picture output), please try to use the methods described in Section 3.2 to obtain a picture first. If that does not work, try resetting back to the Factory Defaults as described in 3.6.
4.1 Contacting Hall Research
If you determine that your device is malfunctioning, do not attempt to repair the unit instead, contact Hall Research Technical Support at 714-641-6607.
Before you do, make a record of the history of the problem. We will be able to provide more efficient and accurate assistance if you have a complete description.
4.2 Shipping and Packaging
If you need to transport or ship your unit:
Package it carefully. We recommend that you use the
original container.
Before you ship the units back to Hall Research for repair or
return, contact us to get a Return Authorization (RMA) number.
