Placement
The processor can be either placed on a table or rack
mounted. A rack mounting installation kit is available. Securely
mount the side rack brackets with the screws that are provided
with the kit.
Ventilation
The unit uses convection to cool. A fan is not needed. As hot
air raises out of the top vent, cool air is drawn in from the
bottom and side. These vents must not be blocked. When
rack mounted, a minimum of 1.75” (1 rack unit height) of free
space is required above and below the unit to allow for proper
cooling. A forced air fan should be added to the rack
installation if power amps are located in the same air space.
Do not install unit above power amps.
Connections
Because of the high performance of this unit it is very important
to use the highest quality cables possible, for both input and
output signals.
To avoid AC ground loop problems, the source equipment,
this unit and projector should all be running on the same
grounded AC power line (one rated for the power
requirements).
1 S-Video input (4-pin DIN) for sources such as DVDs,
3 YPrPb/RGBs Input (BNC): 480i and HDTV scan rates are
sent to the internal processor and then output at the selected scan rate. If the output is set to analog RGBHV or
digital DVI, the unit will automatically transcode the YPrPb
HDTV to RGBHV.
Note on DVDs:
For proper aspect ratio and to insure the highest quality
image from the DVD player, be sure to set the DVD screen
shape to 16:9 in the DVD player’s Setup menu. See the
DVD player’s owner’s manual for details.
4 High scan rate input (D-sub15 pin) for sources such as
HDTV signals or computers are passed through to the
projector. The signal is sent to the outputs in the same
format as the input unless Transcoding is selected. YPrPb
from HDTV sources can be transcoded to RGBHV, as
well. Use a BNC to D15 breakout cable if necessary. The
Green, Red, Blue BNCs are used for YPrPb.
5 D-sub15 pin connector output for use with computer moni-
tors or to a second display device. Use only short cable
runs. This output can be used at the same time as the
BNC outputs.
6 DVI Input. The DVI Input will automatically process 480p,
720p and 1080p signals. Computer rates are not supported for processing but may be passed through to the
DVI output if any of the pass-through inputs are selected.
This unit will not convert a computer DVI output to the
analog output.
Note
For incompatible input signals, a “Not Supported”
message will be displayed on the LCD display
and the image will be muted (black screen).
7 DVI Output: Digital output interface for compatible dis-
plays. All processed analog and digital inputs are output to this connector as well as
computer scan rates when the pass-through
input is selected. Maximum cable length is
50ft with a high quality DVI cable. For longer
lengths a distribution system or fiber optic
system must be used.
8 BNC connectors for main output with RGBHV or YPrPb
signals to display devices. Cable runs up to 100ft are okay
if good quality cables are used. For YPrPb outputs use:
Red= Pr
Green= Y
Blue= Pb
RGBHV is recommended.
● If Computer signals are to be used, separate H & V
sync cables must be connected to the display.
9 IR remote terminal
Cannot be used with this digital video processor.
p SCREEN terminal
12V trigger to activate automatic screen relays. Voltage
is constant when unit power is on.
In addition, refer to ‘Precautions for using the screen terminal’ on page 3 before using it.

Note
● The DVI or analog RGBHV outputs cannot be active at
the same time. Select the output type in the
Setup menu prior to use of the processor.
Connecting HDTV Satellite Receivers
Since HDTV ready satellite receivers offer different signal
types, they require special attention for connection to the
processor. Every receiver is different so be sure to consult
the receivers manual for details. For this manual, we will
assume the receiver being used operates as follows:
1. Non HDTV material is output from the receiver via an Svideo connection
2. HDTV material is output via YPrPb outputs
3. If available, HDTV material is also output via a DVI connector.
The following diagram offers one way to connect the system.

● This unit’s pass-through input will “pass ” the input signal
to the output stage in the same format as the input
signal, i.e. analog HDTV in – analog HDTV out, DVI
HDTV in – DVI HDTV out.
HDTV Cross-Conversion
This unit can cross-convert 480p, 720p and 1080i HDTV
signals to the selected output of the processor. Any HDTV
signal connected to the YprPb BNC or DVI inputs will be
cross-converted. Any HDTV or PC signal connected to
the D15 input will be passed-through without processing.
PC signals via the DVI input will be sent to the passthrough.
To pass-through HDTV signals to avoid processing, select
the passthrough input. DVI is passed through
to the DVI output and analog YPrPb is passed through as
analog RGB (select trancode).

Factory 4
● The Detail circuit is a powerful tool for image quality. The
settings have been optimized for the output scan rate and
resolution. However, the viewer’s tastes plus the types of
software and display require making adjustments of this
setting to fine-tune the image. This control is very effective
to increase detail in poor quality video material. It is recommended that adjustments be made in small increments
until the desired results are achieved and then store these
custom settings in the Profiles. It is important to not use
too much Detail since the image will start to look artificial.
Typically, digital displays will need less detail than analog
displays. High quality software will need less detail than
poor quality ones. Reducing the Detail level can help to
reduce the visibility of MPEG artifacts on some DVDs and
satellite systems and noise with VHS tapes. The best results are achieved by adjusting the levels to the software
being viewed instead of just using test patterns.
Advanced Color System
Normal (Default) / Bypass
For some DVDs with computer animation or with very high
levels of color, the chroma edge processing circuits may not
be needed and can be turned off (Bypass). For most sources,
the Normal setting should be selected. These settings can
be stored as a Profile.
● Any changes to the picture level adjustments are automati-
cally stored after one minute has passed without making
any changes. This information is stored separately for each
input. As each input is selected the last used settings will
automatically be recalled. If picture levels are adjusted but
then the input is changed before one minute has passed,
the changes for that input will not be stored and the previous settings will be recalled the next time that input is used.
䡵 Display Menu
Use these commands to adjust the image position and edge
blanking. It is recommended to adjust sizing, position and
blanking in the display device first with this unit in the Factory
preset setting. Then use this unit’s controls only if the display
runs out of range or does not offer these controls. This should
be done by a qualified technician.
Horizontal Position

Vertical Position

Border LVL (Blanking level)
Setting Values: 0-100
This adjusts the blanking from black to white. This can be
used to create a gray side bar for use with 4:3 aspect ratio
sources on wideangle screens to help reduce the chance of
image burn-in. Image burn in is not covered by warrantee.
Left
Adjusts the left edge border (blanking).
Right
Adjusts the right edge border (blanking).

Bottom
This adjusts the bottom edge border (blanking).
Top
Adjusts the top edge border (blanking).
● This unit will store unique blanking settings for each as-
pect ratio which are automatically stored and recalled when
the different aspect ratios are selected
RS232
䡵 Patterns Menu
The best approach to system setup is to use a DVD that
offers the proper test patterns. This way, the system is
aligned for the entire signal path. If a test DVD is not available, then use the internal test patterns provided in this
unit.
● The test pattern generator in this unit is set to SMPTE stan-
dards. To insure proper output levels for display setup, the
picture controls in this unit cannot be accessed when the
test patterns are being used. Adjust levels, if needed, in
the display device.
