Cable Types
HDMI:HDMI, or High Definition Multimedia Interface, is the only interconnection scheme that can carry both
audio and video on the same cable.
Coax:Coax is a shorthand way of saying “coaxial cable.” In the consumer audio/video industry, the term “Coax”
is is a type of digital audio interconnect which uses an RCA style cable. Single coax video cables may be
colored white or yellow; the component bundle may be colored red-green-blue. Coax can also carry a
digital audio signal called SP/DIF.
S-Video:S-Video is a cable that separates the color portion of the video signal from the black and white portions.
It is typically colored with a yellow or black tip.
Analog Stereo:Analog Stereo is an audio interconnect found usually on older equipment. As the name implies, the signals
are analog and a stereo 2 channel signal is carried on RCA style connectors. Usually, these cables are
colored red and white.
Which Cable Should I Use?
Your audio and video components may have multiple types of connectors, Which type should you use if you have a choice?
Your choice of cables can affect the performance capabilities of your Wolf Cinema video projection system. The guide below
will help you choose the optimum cable for your setup.
Cables to your Projector
The Wolf Cinema projector features a dedicated HDMI input, so use the appropriate length HDMI cable. Connect the cable
from the Video/Audio connector on the back connector panel of the ProScaler to the HDMI input of the projector.
A RS-232 control cable may be required when integrating your Wolf Cinema projector to today’s latest home automation systems.
Audio Cabling to your AV Receiver or Surround Sound Processor
If your AV Receiver or Surround Sound Processor has HDMI inputs, you should use an HDMI to HDMI cable, connected
between the HDMI Audio output of the Wolf Cinema’s ProScaler and an HDMI input on your receiver/processor.
If your AV Receiver does not have an HDMI input, then you will need to connect and associate each device’s audio output
with the appropriate inputs on your receiver/processor.
Input Cables
Video Cable Hierarchy
If you have a choice of video cables, use the list below to make the best choice. Use the lowest numbered cable on the list
to achieve the optimum video quality.
1 HDMI: HDMI to HDMI cable. This cable carries both audio and video information.
2 DVI: DVI to HDMI adapter cable.You will need a separate cable for audio information, as DVI carries video signals only.
3 Component: Component to Component cable. You will need separate cabling for audio.

Page 21
ProScalerHigh Definition Video ProcessorUser’s Manual
Brightness Control
Scaler -> Main Menu -> Picture Controls -> Brightness
Video brightness controls work by adjusting black levels. When you make an adjustment to the brightness control, all levels
of interscene image brightness (from black to peak white, but most noticeably in the dark areas of the picture) are shifted
from darker to brighter.
The Brightness control is complimentary to the Contrast control on the next page. Contrast controls adjust the level or intensity
of interscene white levels.
Contrast Control
Scaler -> Main Menu -> Picture Controls -> Contrast
Contrast controls works by adjusting the levels of white. Contrast is complimentary to the Brightness control. Contrast controls
should be used carefully because if overly adjusted, some details in the lighter images areas can become “less visible” and
affect image clarity.
Contrast and Brightness controls, like all picture controls, are independently adjustable for every video input. When you
make a change to a picture control, the change applies only to the currently selected video input.
Scaler -> Main Menu -> Picture Controls -> Color Saturation
Color Saturation refers to the intensity of “color” in the picture. Increasing Color Saturation makes colors look more vivid,
while decreasing Color Saturation makes colors look more “washed out.” Changes to either Brightness or Contrast can also
affect your image’s Color Saturation. You can use this control to balance the mix of color verses brightness.
Color Saturation, like all picture controls, is independently adjustable for every video input. When you make a change to a
picture control, the change applies only to the currently selected video input.
Hue
Scaler -> Main Menu -> Picture Controls -> Hue
Hue is a an adjustment to color “shading.” The changes made with a Hue control effect what some other television sets
refer to as “tint.” Hue controls cause a shift in color spectra. Shifting more in one direction moves the video shade towards
a more “green” image while adjustments in the opposite direction moves the video towards a more “red” dominant image.
Hue, like all picture controls, is independently adjustable for every video input. When you make a change to a picture control,
the change applies only to the currently selected video input.

Picture Controls
Detail Enhancement
Scaler -> Main Menu -> Picture Controls -> Detail Enhancement
Detail Enhancement is a control to increase (or decrease) the ProScaler detail (“sharpness”) of the image. Use this control in
moderation, as excessive settings adjustments may cause the image to look distorted and unnatural.
ProScaler Enhancement
Scaler -> Main Menu -> Picture Controls -> ProScaler Enhancement
ProScaler Enhancement can be used to sharpen large scene objects (verses the Detail Enhancement control, which will
sharpen ProScaler details such as grass or the texture of a plaster wall). It it useful when you want to sharpen a lower
quality picture, such as Standard Definition (SD) content.
ProScaler Enhancement, like all picture controls, is independently adjustable for every video input. When you make a
change to a picture control, the change applies only to the currently selected video input.

The term “noise” in the context of video images refers to unwanted or unnatural looking elements that find their way into
video signals. “Mosquito Noise” is a particular type of image noise that is caused by video compression processing. Video
compression is common for all types of transmitted video, including cable, satellite, and over-the-air broadcasts. Compression
is also used with DVD, Blu-ray discs and other prerecorded media. The visibility of Mosquito Noise will vary. In some cases,
it can become objectionable. Mosquito Noise will be more obvious in standard definition video, although it is sometimes
present in high definition video.
Your Wolf Cinema’s ProScaler has a Mosquito Noise Reduction feature that can remove some of this noise. An example
of mosquito noise in a TV weather report is shown on the left side of the next page. The same image with Mosquito Noise
Reduction applied is shown on the right side of the next page.
Mosquito Noise reduction works by analyzing the image for features that are likely to cause Mosquito Noise. It then
intelligently applies filtering to those areas to remove the noise.

Game Mode
Scaler -> Main Menu -> Settings -> Game Mode
About Game Mode
The video processing performed in the Wolf Cinema ProScaler adds a few milliseconds of delay to your video and audio.
For most viewing this delay is not a problem, but if you are playing video games that require quick response on your game
controls, the delay can be noticeable and annoying.
Game Mode is a special processing feature that minimizes delays so your game control inputs are more responsive.
Removing delay requires some tradeoffs in processing. You may notice differences in picture quality if Game Mode is enabled.
If the incoming video signal is an interlaced format, Game Mode may result in a lower-resolution image due to the changes
in deinterlace processing required to minimize delay.
If the incoming video signal is a progressive format, and Game Mode in enabled, some processing features will be unavailable,
including Mosquito Noise Reduction, Detail Enhancement, and ProScaler Enhancement.

Remote Control
The Wolf Cinema’s ProScaler Universal Remote
The earlier chapters focused on controlling the Wolf Cinema ProScaler. This chapter discusses the use of the remote to
control other components in your system.
Wolf Cinema’s ProScaler remote is a universal type. It allows you to control up to 8 components (including the Wolf Cinema
Projector and ProScaler) in your audio/video system with this single remote.This remote can be used for the day to day
operation of your entire system.
Retain your other component remotes: you will need the remotes for your other devices when you set up your system for the
first time, plus you will likely need the other remotes occasionally when you need to make changes to your system setup.
The Universal Remote Overview
This section presents a brief overview for using the remote from a system perspective and points out functions and
features unique to the Wolf Cinema ProScaler remote control. Details of programming the remote are in the section titled
“Programming the Remote.”
The remote has 3 primary features that work in combination to make control of your system as simple as possible:
1 Modes:You put the remote into a mode for controlling a particular component in your system by pressing
one of the 8 mode buttons. Once the remote is switched to a particular mode, it controls a single
component in your system.
2 Punch Through:Punch Through is a feature that minimizes the need for switching modes as much as possible.
Some of the buttons on your remote control have related functions. For example, the VOLUME,
and MUTE buttons both control sound volume, so they are related. Another example is the PLAY,
PAUSE, FAST FORWARD, FAST REVERSE, and STOP buttons. Buttons that have related functions
are a “group.”
Punch Through allows one group of buttons for a particular component to work while the remote is
switched into a mode for a different component. For example, DVD players typically don’t control
sound volume. Sound volume may be typically controlled by an AV Receiver. Punch Through
allows you to control sound volume while in the DVD operating mode. If you program punch
through to control your sound device for all your components, then one doesn’t have to think
about what mode is currently selected. Instead, sound control becomes a function, and you no
longer have to remember which component controls sound.
3 Macros:A Macro allows you to perform a series of button presses using a single button. Macros are useful
if you find that you use a particular series of button presses over and over. A Macro allows you to
invoke the entire series with one button.
25

ProScalerHigh Definition Video ProcessorUser’s Manual
Modes
You can control individual components in your setup by pressing one of the mode buttons. This switches the remote into
a mode in which it communicates with the component you selected. Seven of the mode select buttons are located near
the top near the power on/off. The TV/Projector labeled button controls the Wolf Cinema Projector functions. The mode
button for controlling the Wolf Cinema’s ProScaler is located near the bottom left of the remote.
The devices that can be controlled using these 7 buttons are as follows:
AUD: Audio
Operates the audio component in your system. Typically, the AUD button is used if you have an AV Receiver that performs
surround sound processing and drives your speakers.
BD: BluRay Disc
Controls your Blu Ray high definition DVD Player.
VCR:
Controls your Video Cassette Recorder
AUX: Auxiliary
Auxiliary can be used for a device that is not already used by the other buttons. You can think of it as a “spare” device
select button.
TV: Television
Operates your Wolf Cinema Projector.
DVD:
Controls your DVD player.
Cable/SAT:
Controls your cable or satellite set top box.
Punch Through
As described above, Punch Through is a feature of the universal remote that allows control of certain features of one
component while in the operating mode of another. For example, your setup uses an AV Receiver as an audio processor,
and you are playing a DVD in your DVD player. You have your remote in DVD mode so you can control the Play, Pause, Fast
Forward, etc. on your DVD player. But you also want to quickly select and adjust your audio volume. Punch Through enables
the volume up/down and mute buttons on the remote to control your receiver even if you are in DVD mode. You don’t have
to switch modes from DVD to Audio to control volume: instead, you simply press the volume button while still in DVD mode.
To set up Punch Through when you program your remote, refer to the section in this manual.

ProScaler
Macros
A Macro allows you to perform a series of button presses using a single button. Macros are useful if you find that you often
repeat the same series of button presses.
For example, a Macro can be used to power up all the components in your system with a single button press.
Let’s say that find that you often pick up your remote and power up your Projector, AV Receiver, and set-top box together:
this particular set of power-up button sequences is used again and again in your setup.
This series of multiple button presses could be put into a macro, so that one button selection powers up the 3 components
used in this example. Note that we did not power on the Wolf Cinema’s ProScaler because it will sense a signal from the
Set Top Box and it will power itself on automatically.
There are 9 buttons that can be used for Macros. They are the Power On/ Off pair, and the 7 component select buttons
(AUD, BD, VCR, etc.). When you use one of these buttons for a Macro, it can no longer be used for its previous function.
Therefore, the best choice for a Macro button is one that is not being used for anything else in your system.
Programming the Remote
The Wolf Cinema’s remote control has been designed to operate 6 different Audio/Video components in addition to the
Projector and ProScaler. The remote control is preprogrammed to operate major brand's AUDIO, DVD, CD, VCR, SAT/CABLE
and AUX (Light, Media PC etc.).
The remote control also has seven learning modes for learning the functions from the original remote controls of manufacturers.
The remote control provides distinct visual feedback with LED under the Device buttons to assist you in programming.

Advanced Functions
Advanced Functions
A new set of controls is now available for advanced users and calibration professionals. They are located in the “Settings”
menu under “Advanced Controls.”
The ProScaler design concept is to create a product that automatically adjusts and configures itself for the variety of
video formats, color spaces, signal levels. The consumer electronics industry has specified a number of methods by which
products communicate with each other for self-configuration. Sometimes, these communication methods are incorrectly
implemented. The advanced features in this platform give you a way to manually make adjustments that previously were
performed automatically.
For most of these settings, there is an “Auto” choice, which is the same function as in Firmware 1.0, but with manual selections
that give you control over these functions.
In general, the safest thing to do with these settings is to leave them in their default state.
Test Patterns
There are 35 test patterns available, for advanced users and calibration professionals. These patterns automatically resize,
and use the correct colorimetry for the current output format.
Test patterns are useful for calibration of your setup.
1:1 Frame Rate
When 1:1 Frame Rate is enabled, the output frame rate from ProScaler will track the input frame rate. This avoids performing
frame rate conversion, which can result in stuttering motion in some cases.
If 1:1 Frame Rate is disabled, then the output frame rate from ProScaler will be fixed.
The 1:1 Frame Rate feature is useful when you need to display video from both 60Hz and 50Hz sources, as long as your
video display can operate at both frame rates. Some video sources, such as Blu-Ray DVD players, can output 24Hz video. If
you have a 24Hz source and your display can also accept 24Hz, then enabling 1:1 Frame Rate will allow the 24Hz video to
pass through the ProScaler from source to the Projector.
Safe Mode
Safe Mode is a new feature in Firmware v1.1. It is entered and exited by pressing the GUIDE button when the remote is in
SCALER mode.
Safe Mode was added to solve a potential problem when using 1:1 Frame Rate. When 1:1 Frame Rate mode is enabled, the
ProScaler’s output frame rate will track the input frame rate, which means that ProScaler’s output frame rate can and will
change. Occasionally the Projector may see a source with a frame rate that it cannot support, it may go blank,leaving you
with no picture. If that happens, you can press the GUIDE button to enter Safe Mode.
In Safe Mode, ProScaler will revert to an output format that will give you a picture. You will have access to the menus and
you can make whatever changes you need to prevent the screen from going blank. Usually, the change you need to make
is to disable 1:1 Frame Rate.
Safe Mode also resets Underscan back to 0, because Underscan can also cause a breakup in your picture under certain conditions.
If you make changes to menus while in Safe Mode, these changes do not take effect until you exit Safe Mode.
Use GUIDE button to enter and exit Safe Mode.

ProScalerHigh Definition Video ProcessorUser’s Manual
Underscan
The Underscan control has not changes from Firmware v1.0. But Underscan is effected by Safe Mode as mentioned on the
previous page.
Output Color Space
The Output Color Space control provides 4 choices for output color space. If you are unsure what to use,Auto is the safe choice.
Auto: usually output color space will be RGB
RGB: Red, Green, Blue color space standard using 8 bits per primary color.
YCbCr 4:4:4: Component color space used for video standards; 8 bits per component.
YCbCr 4:2:2: Component color space used for video standards: 10 bits per component.
Output Colorimetry
Colorimetry refers to the standards by which RGB is converted to YCbCr. There are two standards for performing this conversion:
ITU BT .601: This is the colorimetry standard for Standard Definition video formats.
ITU BT .709: This is the colorimetry standard for High Definition video formats.
Output Video Level
Video Levels refer to the dynamic range of the video signals themselves. The video industry evolved levels that allowed for
some guard band in the signal levels to account for overshoot or other signaling problems. The computer industry evolved
levels that allocate the entire dynamic range possible for the image information.
The ProScaler will drive video displays, which use video signaling levels, and computer displays which use computer signal levels.
The Output Video Level control gives you control over what signaling levels are output from ProScaler.
Input Video Level
This control is similar to the OutputVideo Level control described on the previous page, except that it applies to input video signals.
Video Levels refer to the dynamic range of the video signals themselves. The video industry evolved levels that allowed for
some guard band in the signal levels to account for overshoot or other signaling problems. The computer industry evolved
levels that allocate the entire dynamic range possible for the image information.
The ProScaler must accept signals from video components, such as DVD players, set top boxes, video recorders, etc. Most
of these devices use video signaling levels. ProScaler must also connect to personal computers and came consoles, which
may use computer signal levels.
The Input Video Level control gives you control over what signaling levels are used for inputs
PReP
PReP is an exclusive processing technology developed by Anchor Bay Technologies.
Standard definition input formats such as 480p, 576p, and were deinterlaced at some point before reaching ProScaler.
Deinterlacing is a complex processing technology that has a significant impact on image quality. The deinterlacing in
ProScaler uses Anchor Bay Technologies' high performance VRS Deinterlacer.
PReP accepts one of the formats mentioned, and reconverts it back into an interlaced format. It can then be deinterlaced
again using the VRS technology in ProScaler, which usually results in a higher quality picture.
The PReP control allows users to disable this function. Most users will never need to disable PReP.
34
Page 36
ProScaler
The menu user window lets you control PReP for standard definition (480p or 576p) or high definition (1080p). Auto: PReP
will be enabled when AUTO is selected and the input format is 480p or 576p. If this window was entered from the 1080p
selection in the previous window, then PReP will be enabled when AUTO is selected and the input format is 1080p. Off will
disable PReP for the selected input format.
Advanced Features in the Main Menu
Deinterlacer Bias Controls
Wolf Cinema’s ProScaler users have some control over the deinterlace processing using the Deinterlacer selection in the
Main Menu. This control was added to the Main Menu to allow quick access, and was added in response to requests from
ProScaler users in 50Hz (PAL) countries.
These controls require the user to have some knowledge of the original source type of the motion picture. If you are unsure,
leave this setting on “Auto.”
Auto: Deinterlacer will automatically detect the original source type and process accordingly.
Film: Biases the detection toward film. Choosing “Film” may improve deinterlacing performance for motion pictures that
were originally shot on film.
Video: Biases the detection toward video cameras. Choosing “Video” may improve deinterlacing performance for motion
pictures that were originally shot with video cameras.
Auto Wake Up
Auto Wake Up gives you more control over the conditions in which ProScaler will automatically power on. The Auto Wake Up
window gives you 3 options for defining the conditions in which the ProScaler will power itself on:
Off: ProScaler will power on using the remote. Use this option if you want ProScaler to remain powered down even if input
signals become active.
Mode 1: ProScaler will power on automatically only if it powered down automatically. If inputs to the ProScaler become
inactive, ProScaler will automatically power itself off. If an input becomes active again, ProScaler will automatically power
on. If the ProScaler is powered down with the remote, then it will not power on when an input becomes active in Mode 1.
Mode 2: ProScaler will automatically power on whenever an input signal is present on any input. In Mode 2, it does not
matter how ProScaler entered the powered down state; an active input will power it on.
Auto Standby
Auto Standby gives you control over the conditions in which ProScaler will power itself down.
Auto Standby is a simple ON/OFF control. If Auto Standby is OFF, the ProScaler will not automatically power down. This is
useful in cases where you may not have an active video signal, but you may have an active audio signal passing through
ProScaler. In this case, you want ProScaler to remain powered on. If Auto Standby is ON, then ProScaler will automatically
power down if all video input signals become inactive.

Component Input
Component Input menu gives you control over the analog component inputs. To use this control, you must select Component 1
or Component 2, otherwise, this menu item will be grayed out.
The Component Inputs window gives you 3 options for controlling Automatic Gain Control on Analog Inputs:
Single Sync: This is the default setting. Most component inputs will have sync on the Y signal and should use Single Sync.
Triple Sync: A few devices will add sync to all three component input signals (Y, Pb, Pr). In you know your device does this,
choose Triple Sync.
AGC Disable: This choice disables Automatic Gain Control. In some cases, AGC will cause brightness levels to be incorrect
due to distortions in the analog input signals. Disabling AGC may correct this problem. You probably don’t know if a device
that generates an analog component signal puts sync on Y, or on all three inputs, or if it distorts the incoming signal. In general,
it may be best to use Single Sync. If your picture does not look correct, experiment with the other settings.
Hot Plug Source
Hot Plug Source is a new feature that improves compatibility with certain source components that connect to the ProScaler
through an HDMI input.
When Hot Plug Source is enabled for an HDMI input, a signal on the HDMI input connector, called Hot Plug, is toggled when
switching to that input. Toggling Hot Plug causes the source component and ProScaler to perform an HDCP re-authentication.
HDCP is a copy protection technology that is part of the HDMI standard.
Enable Hot Plug Source if you experience problems switching to a particular source component. These problems can include
very slow switching with flashing on the screen, or colored noise over the entire screen. Two common components that
benefit from enabling Hot Plug Source are the Sony PS3 game console and the Oppo 970 DVD player.
Hot Plug Source can be independently enabled for each HDMI input. To enable Hot Plug Source, first select an HDMI input,
then select the Hot Plug Source window.
To enable Hot Plug Source, first select an HDMI input, then go to the menus to the window shown above, and select ON.
If you are unsure whether Hot Plug Source will help, then you should go ahead and enable it. The only downside to enabling
Hot Plug Source is that switching could be a little slower due to the time it takes to re-authenticate.
