HDMI Scaler & Audio Extractor
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.
