Verify the source and destination devices are
functioning properly by connecting the source
directly to the destination device.
Verify HDMI cables and source and destination
HDMI ports are operational.
Verify the video and audio cables are in good
condition.
Use shorter, high quality cables.
Installation Instructions
1. Power off the source and destination
audio/video devices.
2. Connect the input sources to the DIGI-SCAL-5
using high quality cables.
3. Connect the output destinations to the DIGI-
SCAL-5 using high-quality HDMI, stereo audio,
and/or digital audio cables.
4. If the DIGI-SCAL-5 will be controlled by a
third-party control system, connect a DE9
cable to the RS232 port.
5. Connect the included power supply to the
5VDC port. Connect the power supply to AC
power outlet.
6. Power on the DIGI-SCAL-5.
7. Power on attached audio/video devices.
Important notice:
Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the scaler housing. There
are no user-serviceable parts inside the unit. Doing so will void
your warranty.
To minimize the possibility of equipment damage from
electrostatic discharge (ESD), all source and destination
equipment must be powered off during installation.
Allow proper ventilation to reduce the risk of thermal failure.
Operating Instructions
Source Selection
The five inputs each have their own push button on
the front panel. Press the desired button to select
the corresponding input.
Menu Navigation
Press the top of the joystick to bring up the on
screen display. Use the joystick to navigate to the
desired function. Once adjustments have been
made to the settings, press the top of the joystick
again to save the configuration.
Resolution Settings
The output submenu allows you to set the
resolution you want the DIGI-SCAL-5 to send to
your display. Do not select a resolution that your
display is not capable of processing, as this may
cause the DIGI-SCAL-5 and/or your display to
malfunction. Please see page 2 for information
about how the DIGI-SCAL-5 processes video and
audio signals.
Remote Control & RS232
The DIGI-SCAL-5 offers two methods of controlling
the scaler in addition to front panel operation. The
included remote control features all of the front
panel functionality, plus several output resolution
hot keys. The DIGI-SCAL-5 also features RS232
control. Please see pages 3 & 4 for RS232
commands.
The Intelix DIGI-SCAL-5 allows the integration of multiple
analog and digital devices into a high-definition
environment. With switching, scaling, and format
conversion capabilities, the DIGI-SCAL-5 combines the
processing of three devices into one.

Exit - Close the OSD Menu
The DIGI-SCAL-5 menu provides several options for configuring audio, video, and on screen display characteristics. The menu
contains the following main categories: Video, Color, Output, OSD, Audio, Information, and Exit. With the exception of the
‘Exit’ function, a secondary menu will appear where specific adjustments and selections can be made. Please see the Menu
tree below for more information.
OSD Menu Notes:
Note 1: The Output sub-menu allows you to specify the resolution you want the DIGI-SCAL-5 to produce. Keep in mind that setting the resolution can cause an
apparent malfunction if you select a resolution that your display device cannot reproduce. Make certain your display device can reproduce the resolution you
select BEFORE you select it.
Note 2: The OSD sub-menu allows you to customize the way the On Screen Display appears when it has been accessed. This is a personal preference matter.
You can change the default if you wish or simply leave it at the factory setting.
Note 3: Since Video and Audio Lip Sync can be lost in Digital Television, the DIGI-SCAL-5 provides a secondary menu item called “Delay” under the Audio
selection of the main menu where audio delay can be introduced to restore lip sync. Use this function if you hear audio before the video portion of the
program appears to make the sound.
Note 4: The Info sub-menu contains technical information. If you have problems with the DIGI-SCAL-5 and require assistance, the technician may ask you to
read information from this menu as part of the troubleshooting process.
