1. Introduction

1.1 General

Thank you for purchasing Hall Research’s SC-HD-2A. This unit can convert
and scale DVI or HDMI video in to various output resolutions. Video can be
manipulated is several ways. For example, the output can be horizontally
flipped (mirrored along x-axis), or hue, saturation, and other salient
parameters of video can be manipulated. The mirroring feature is useful for
teleprompter and rear projection systems.

The unit takes advantage of the HDMI signal's ability to embed audio with
video. For convenience, both stereo analog and optical digital audio inputs
and outputs are provided. The audio from the input HDMI signal can be
extracted (de-embedded) and output on both digital as well as stereo analog
signal. The audio embedded in the HDMI output can be selected from 3
sources: HDMI input, analog L/R input, or digital optical input.

The SC-HD-2A 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-2A features an OSD menu for configuration, picture setup,
system information and other advanced options. The compact and sturdy
enclosure features integrated mounting brackets.
