PC (VGA) or YPbPr to HDMI™ Converter/Scaler
1. Introduction
1.1 General
Thank you for purchasing Hall Research’s Model SC-VHD­HDMI™. This unit can convert and scale either Component (YPbPr) or PC Analog video with audio into an HDMI™ or DVI compatible signal. The unit takes advantage of the HDMI™ cable’s ability to embed the digital audio in the same cable with video. For convenience, both line level analog and optical digital audio outputs are also provided.
The SC-VHD-HDMI has the ability to output a wide range of resolutions and refresh rates regardless of the input timing and resolution. The output resolution setting can automatically match the native resolution of display the unit is connected to or be specified by the user.
The video processor combines the functions of a video scaler, scan-converter, and format transformer. The SC-VHD-HDMI also includes a horizontal mirroring feature, which is useful for Teleprompters and rear projection systems. The unit encodes the audio input signal from TOSLink (Optical) or Analog (L/R) to both digital and analog formats and outputs it on HDMI™ along with video. For convenience, the unit features mounting brackets.
The SC-VHD-HDMI features an OSD menu for configuration, picture setup, system information and many other advanced options.
1.2 Features
• HDMI™, HDCP, and DVI Compliant
• Any PC or HDTV video signal can be scaled up or
scaled down to any other PC or HDTV resolution
• State-of-the-art video scaling for real-time frame rate capture & conversion
• Signal format conversion between RGBHV and YPbPr.
• Automatically detects input mode and timing
parameters.
• OSD adjustment of contrast, brightness, color, size, sampling clock, phase, position, audio source and delay
• Horizontal mirroring (X-axis flip)
• Supports stereo LPCM analog/digital audio input and
stereo LPCM analog/digital audio output

3.3 Setting the Output Resolution
3.3.1 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 and since most settings are done by means of an on­screen 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 Ï and MENU button together will change the output resolution to 1024x768 @ 60 Hz.
Pressing the MENU and DOWN ARROW Ð together will change the output resolution to 480P @ 60 Hz.
3.3.2 Recalling Factory Defaults
Factory defaults may be recalled via (2) methods:
1. Press the MENU button to display the OSD. Using the ÐÏ
arrows buttons, move to highlight the ‘FACTORY RESET’ option and press the MENU button. The unit will reset all parameters to the factory defaults. The output resolution will be set at ‘NATIVE’, which should result in a picture being displayed. The actual resolution of the display monitor in this mode is dependant on the monitor and not the SC-VHD­HDMI.
2. Unplug the DC jack from the unit. Press and hold the menu
button and simultaneously plug the DC jack. This causes all parameters to revert to factory defaults.

3.3.3 Setting the output resolution
Press the MENU button to open the OSD and use the arrow buttons (ÏÐ) to select the OUTPUT option. Press the MENU button.
Use arrows to scroll thru the available resolutions listed. See Section 6 below for a list of all available resolutions.
The default output resolution after a factory reset of the SC­VHD-HDMI is “Native”.
If connected to an HDTV via HDMI input, then use the highest resolution your display supports from among 480i/p, 720p50/60 or 1080i/p. If a DVI LCD is used, you have a wide range of PC resolutions available (see section 6 for a complete listing).
