1. INTRODUCTION
This Multi-Format to DVI Scaler is capable of scaling and sourceswitching from Composite Video, S-Video, PC (VGA) and DVI input
signals to a DVI output. A corresponding analog stereo audio input
can be switched and sent to the stereo audio output with the video
source selection. It has the added benefit of control through front
panel buttons, IR remote, or RS-232, and there is on-screen menu
(OSD) providing setting selection and system information. The device
provides a full range of output resolutions, up to 1080p for HDTV
resolutions, and WUXGA (RB) for PC resolutions.

2. APPLICATIONS• Analog to Digital video signal conversion• Analog and Digital Source Integration• Upscaling Standard definition video for High-Definition displays

3. PACKAGE CONTENTS• Multi-Format to DVI Scaler• Remote Control (CR-118)• 5 V/2.6 A DC Power Adaptor• Operation Manual

4. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Source equipment such as PC/Laptop or DVD Player with HDMI to DVI
adaptor, analog sources via standard cabling and DVI display withactive speakers and connection cables.

5. FEATURES• Supports the conversion of multiple video and audio formats to DVI• Supports synchronized output for input video and output audio
signals• Supports 3D de-interlacing, noise reduction and Comb filter• Supports frame rate conversion• Supports control via RS-232, IR Remote handset and front panel
