VGA / HDTV Video Processor

1. Introduction

1.1 General

SC-VGA-2B is a high-performance universal VGA / HDTV to VGA / HDTV
Scan Rate converter with a local loop out.

The SC-VGA-2B has the ability to output a specified resolution and refresh rate
regardless of the input. Output timing to the display is constant regardless of
the input so when switched from one input to another, the display device does
not see any interruption in the signal coming to it.

The video processor combines the functions of a video scaler, scan-converter,
and format transformer. The SC-VGA-2B also includes a horizontal mirroring
feature which is useful for teleprompter’s and rear projection systems.

The SC-VGA-2B features an OSD menu for configuration, picture setup,
system information and many other advanced options.

1.2 Features

• Any PC or HDTV video signal can be scaled up or scaled down to
any other PC or HDTV resolution.

• Adjustable output frame rate.

• Additional loop-out to bypass signal processing.

• Large Video memory for real-time frame rate capture & conversion.

• Signal format conversion between RGBHV and YPbPr.

• Automatically detects input mode and timing parameters.

• Allows adjustment of sampling clock, phase, and position on screen.

• Easy- to- use push buttons and OSD menu control.

• Horizontal mirroring (X-Axis Flip)

2. Installation

2.1 Connections

The SC-VGA-2B accepts both PC and HDTV input and output.

Use the 15-pin D-sub to YPbPr/3 RCA cable to convert YPbPr for HDTV
devices.

The SC-VGA-2B includes a display local loop out connection labeled “Bypass
Output”. Use this connection to send a non-processed signal
display.
