UHD HDMI 2.0 Scaler & Audio Embedder / Extractor
1.0 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Hall Research’s SC-HD-2B. The unit is a video
scaler/processor that can convert any HDMI resolution into a user specifiable output
resolution. It accepts virtually all PC and HDTV resolutions including 4Kx2K @ 60
Hz with 4:4:4 color. It is a world class scaling engine works in real time with no
delay and is capable of flipping the video horizontally or vertically making it ideal
for teleprompting, rear projection or semi 3-D holographic applications. Contrast,
hue, saturation, and other parameters of video can be manipulated.
Both stereo analog and optical digital audio inputs and outputs are available. The
audio from the HDMI input signal can be extracted (de-embedded) and output on
both digital as well as stereo analog signal. The audio embedded into the HDMI
output is selectable from one of three sources: HDMI input, analog L/R input, or
digital optical input.
The SC-HD-2B has the ability to output a wide range of resolutions regardless of the
input timing and resolution. The output resolution can automatically match the native
resolution of the display connected to its output (based on the EDID setting of the
display), or it can be specified by the user.
The SC-HD-2B features an OSD menu for configuration, picture setup, system
information and other advanced options. The compact and sturdy enclosure features
integrated mounting brackets.

5.0 Troubleshooting
If you are experiencing problems getting the SC-HD-2B to work properly, please
use the following troubleshooting suggestions.
• Ensure the correct power supply is used. Never plug in a power supply
with a voltage higher than 5V DC, as this will damage the unit.
• Try restoring factory defaults by pressing and holding the UP ARROW
and DOWN ARROW buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
• As shipped, the SC-HD-2B output resolution is defaulted to NATIVE.
This means it will read the EDID of the attached display, and set the
scaled output to match the preferred timing found in the EDID. If the
scaler has been set to a different output, use the Quick Select buttons to
reset the output (see Section 3).
• If the OSD is available, but no video source is displayed, ensure that the
source resolution is set to one of the formats supported by the SC-HD2B (see Section 7).
Contacting Hall Research
If you determine that your SC-HD-2B is malfunctioning, do not attempt to repair
the unit. Instead, contact Hall Research Technical Support at 714-641-6607. To
return the unit to Hall Research you must first get a Return Authorization
(RMA) number. Package the unit carefully, if returning. We recommend that you
use the original container.
