RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFE RENCE STATEMENT
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if
not installed and used properly, that is, in strict acco rdance with the
manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio communication. It
has been designed to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in
accordance with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FC C rules, which
are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the
user at there own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be
necessary to correct the interference.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise
emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of
the Canadian Department of Communications.

1. Introduction
1.1 General
The SC-1080D is a member of Hall Research’s powerful video processor and
scaling product line. It combines the functions of many products in one compact
and versatile unit. It has both high definition analog as well as digital inputs.
Two outputs are available (simultaneously active†), one analog (RGBHV), and
one digital DVI-D (HDMI™ compatible).
Figure 1 – Block Diagram
The user can select the desired input using individual buttons on the front panel ,
on the included IR-remote, or by issuing ASCII RS232 commands.
The output resoluti on can range between 480i to 1080p for HDTV or VGA
(640x480) to WUXGA (1920x1200) for the PC. The unit uses the latest highresolution video scaling techniques to produce a superior video output for a crisp
image on the output display. Both video outputs can also be mirrored
horizontally making it ideal for teleprompting and rear projection systems where
the image needs to be flipped.
The desired output resolution is set directly using individual buttons on the IR
remote, or via unique ASCII RS232 commands. The front panel can also be
used to set the output resolution. A user-friendly on-screen-display (OSD) is
used to control the operation of the device from the front panel. There are also
‘hot-key’ combinations on the front panel to directly set the output to basic PC
or HDTV resolutions so that a picture can be displayed on any LCD.
†
For HDMI™ compliance, when the DVI input is selected, and HDCP content protection is
detect ed on the signal, the HD15 analog output is blanked. The front panel input LED will
blink when this condition is detected. The Digital DVI output will be active when connected to
a HDCP compliant LCD (such as a display with HDMI™ input).

Multi-format PC/HD Video Scaler
The DVI input is HDCP compliant. This allows the unit to be used as an
HDMI™ Video Scaler (HDMI™ audio is not passed through). When the digital
input has HDCP encryption, the DVI output must be connected to a HDCP
compatible LCD (by definition all displays with HDMI™ input must be HDCP
compliant).
Built-in universal power supply keeps the installations clutter free.
The unit can be used to convert and change resolution in t he following ways:
