This DVI Scaler is designed to convert PC, SD, HD and DVI to digital DVI
at a variety of HDTV and PC resolutions. It handles input and output
signal at 165MHZ ultra high bandwidth. It also has many great features
to enhance video performance and is ideal for use in professionallarge screen presentation.

2. FEATURES• High bandwidth and professional PC/Component/DVI to DVI Scaler
that accepts PC RGB (up to WUXGA), HD Component (480i up to1080p) and DVI (up to WUXGA) and scale them up to DVI-I output(1080p/WUXGA).
• The input analog PC or HDTV signal in the format of either RGBHV,YPbPr, (YCbCr) or digital DVI.
• The output digital DVI plus analog PC/HD with selectable output
resolution from 480i to 1080p and VGA to WUXGA.
• The input resolution is automatically detected while the output
resolution and refresh rate can be selected through OSD menu orfront panel push buttons.
• Native output resolution ensures most optimal display resolution on
your screen. When "Native" is selected as the output resolution, thedevice will automatically detect the native resolution of the displayand send out the most optimal pixel timing to match TV's final
display resolution.
• Output picture adjustment on brightness, contrast, color, RGB level,and H-V position.
• The DVI input is HDCP compliant which means if input is HDCP
encrypted then DVI output is also HDCP encrypted. In this case thePC analog output will be turned off.
• Includes advanced features such as Noise Reduction andoverscan/underscan adjustment.

3. PACKAGE CONTENTS• PC/HD/DVI to DVI scaler box.
• VGA cable x 1• YPbPr 3RCA cable x 1• AC power adaptor 5V/ 2.6A, center positive.

561 Component Input: Connects this input connector to theComponent output connector of your source equipment using theenclosed 3RCA to 3RCA cable.
The device accepts both interlaced component input(480i, 576i) and deinterlaced progressive input (480p, 576p...1080p).
The input range is from 480i, 570i~1080i to 1080p.

2 IR Sensor: Infrared remote control sensor.
3 Input LED Indicators: When one of the LED illuminates its
corresponding source is being selected as input.

4 Menu/Enter: This button serves two purposes.
a. Press the button to bring up OSD main menu as shown in the		 "OSD Operation". (page 9)b. To act as a "Enter" key to enter sub menu or to adjust setting
value of the selected parameter.

5 +/- button: The buttons provide 3 functions:a. Input select ("+"): Press the "+" button repeatedly to select yourdesired input source. The input sources are toggled through in thefollowing sequence.
YPbPr (YCbCr)

PCDVI

b. Auto Tune ("-"): Press the "-" button to carry out picture auto
adjust for analog inputs (component or PC). The device will finetune the position (centering) and color of the output picture.
c. When in the OSD menu mode: Press the"+", "-" button to move
up or down the highlight bar to your desired parameter. Or once aparameter is selected with MENU/Enter button, press the button to2

1 Power jack: Connect to the 5V 2.6A DC power adaptor.
2 DVI output: Scaled digital DVI output. Connect this output to the
DVI input or HDMI input of your Digital display.

Note: When input is a HDCP encrypted DVI signal the DVI output isalso HDCP encrypted.
The monitor/display that connected to this output also need to be
HDCP compliant in order to get a nice and clean picture. A nonHDCP compliant display can only display non-HDCP signal andpicture will become noise when input is a HDCP-encrypted signal.

3 PC/D-Sub out: The connector for scaled analog RGB output.
Connect this output port to the analog PC RGB input of yourmonitor, or connect it to the RGBHV input of your HD display using
D-sub to 5 BNC adaptor cable. (not included in the package)
Note: When input is a HDCP encrypted DVI signal this analog
output will be turned off.

4 DVI input: Connects this DVI input connector to the DVI output

connector of your DVI source equipment. The DVI input should bedigital DVI only and should not include analog RGB signal.
The use of DVI-I connector is to ensure both DVI-I and DVI-D maleconnector of the DVI cable can fit into this input connector.
The digital DVI input resolution can range from 480i~1080p, orVGA~WUXGA.

5 PC input: Connects this PC input connector to the VGA output ofyour PC. The acceptable PC resolutions range from VGA~WUXGA.

The device accepts component, PC and DVI inputs. The formats
supported by these inputs are as follows:• When connecting to a PC source use a 15-pin D-sub cable toconnect the output of a PC to the D-Sub input connector of thedevice.
• When connecting to a component source (either SD or HDresolution) use a 3RCA to 3RCA cable to connect the YPbPr orYCbCr output of a DVD or Set Top Box to the Y-Cb/Pb-Cr/Pr input
connecter of the device.
• When connecting to a DVI source, use a DVI-I or DVI-D cable toconnect the DVI output of a PC or DVD to the DVI input connectorof the device.
• When connecting to a HDMI source, use a HDMI cable to connect
to the HDMI output of a HDMI source, such as DVD or STB, on theone end. And use a HDMI to DVI connector adaptor to connect
to the other end of the HDMI cable. The DVI connector of theadaptor is then connect to the DVI input of the device.
The device can automatically detect the input resolution of all threeinputs. To switch from one input source to another just press the input
button on the front panel ("+") or on the remote control.
