Site Preparation

Ensure you have the necessary cables to connect your video source (such as a DVD player) to the
video scaler. Note that if you have previously used the device with a standard television, you can
most likely use those cables to connect the item to the video scaler. The video scaler should be
in close proximity to the video source and be connected using high-quality cables for the best
possible results.

Need more cables? Contact your dealer or visit www.startech.com for more information.
