CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE GEFENPRO DVI TO HDSDI PRO SCALER How to Connect the GefenPRO DVI to HDSDI Pro Scaler 1. Connect two (2) DVI sources to the GefenPRO DVI to HDSDI Pro Scaler using the supplied DVI cables.. 2. Connect up to two (2) HDSDI devices to the outputs. 3. Apply power to the source and HDSDI devices first then apply power to the product.. The DVI source will be converted to HDSDI and then scaled on the output.

IR REMOTE LAYOUT 6 Menu Button Displays the built-in menu system. 7 Right Cursor Button Moves the selection cursor to the Right, when using the On-Screen Display menu system. 8 Enter Button Confirms the current action. 9 Activity Indicator This LED will be activated momentarily each time a button is pressed.
IR REMOTE INSTALLATION Installing the IR Remote Control Battery 1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the IR Remote Control unit. 2. Insert the included battery into the open battery slot. The positive (+) side of the battery should be facing up. 3. Replace the battery cover. The Remote Control unit ships with two batteries. One battery is required for operation and the other battery is a spare.
IR REMOTE CONFIGURATION Resolving IR Code Conflicts In the event that IR commands from other remote controls conflict with the supplied IR remote control unit, changing the remote channel will alleviate this issue. The IR remote control unit has a bank of DIP switches for setting the remote IR channel. The DIP Switch bank on the IR remote control unit is located underneath the battery cover.
USING THE IR REMOTE CONTROL UNIT Controlling Master and Slave Units The DVI to HDSDI Pro Scaler contains a master and a slave unit. The built-in menu system is controlled using the IR Remote Control Unit. To view the built-in menu system for the master unit, press the Menu button once on the IR Remote Control Unit. To bring up the built-in menu system for the slave unit, press the Menu button twice. See the illustration below for details.
MENU FUNCTIONS General > Save Configuration Saves the current configuration of the Scaler (Input format, Output format, etc). These settings are restored at power-up. Changes can be made to the current settings and then saved using the Restore Default Configurations function (below). General > Restore Default Configuration Restores the Scaler to the factory default settings.
MENU FUNCTIONS Patterns > Color Bars Displays the Color Bar pattern using the built-in pattern generator. Patterns > Cross Hatch Displays the Hatch Pattern using the built-in pattern generator.
MENU FUNCTIONS Output > Output Format Selects the Output resolution. See page 27 for supported output timings. Output > Link Configuration Dual Link configuration: Single Link, Dual Link YCbCr, or Dual Link RGB.
MENU FUNCTIONS Output > Genlock Reference The video signal can be synced (“genlocked”) to an external clock or video input using the Reference In connector. In order to use Genlock, the external clock must be a multiple of four (4) of the source timing. Output > Language Localizes the On-Screen Menu to either English or French.
MENU FUNCTIONS Output > Gamma Correction Allows adjustment of the Gamma coefficient, in addition to changing to the sRGB color space or other custom color tables. Input > Video Format Selects the input video format. By default, this option is set to Auto-Detect.
MENU FUNCTIONS Input > Input Graphic Format Selects the input graphic format. This should only be used if using a nonstandard timing which the DVI to HDSDI Pro Scaler does not recognize. Input > Clean Aperture Controls the zoom on the input signal. Zooming the image can be controlled using individual axis.
MENU FUNCTIONS Input > Remote Channel Changes the IR channel of the DVI to HDSDI Pro Scaler. The IR channel range is 0 - 3. NOTE: The IR channel can only be changed when using the Master Menu. Picture > Image Colour Adjusts the color levels on the output signal.
MENU FUNCTIONS Picture > Detail Enhancement Adjusts the detail / sharpness of the image. The noise threshold can also be changed. Picture > Noise Reduction Digitally reduces noise in the image.
MENU FUNCTIONS Picture > Motion Threshold Sets the intra-frame motion detection threshold for the de-interlacer. Video artifacts are sometimes introduced when creating a progressive frame from interlaced frames. Use this function to set the motion threshold used by the motion-detection algorithm when de-interlacing. Picture > Color Range Adjusts between limited RGB and full-range RGB.
MENU FUNCTIONS Layout > Size and Position Adjusts both the vertical and horizontal size and position of the output signal. Aspect > Full Screen Stretches the output signal to fit the entire screen.
MENU FUNCTIONS Aspect > Letter / Pillar Box Sets the aspect ratio on the output signal to fit the letter box or pillar box format. Aspect > Panoramic Panoramic Zoom feature.
MENU FUNCTIONS Aspect > Extract This function extracts a sub-window of the input signal. Use the Extract Size parameter to define the window size based on the percentage of the input. Use the Horizontal and Vertical parameters to select the area of the window to be extract. Aspect > Through Defines a sub-window that is always centered on the screen. The position of the sub-window is relative to the full picture.
RS-232 CONTROL The GefenPRO DVI to HDSDI Scaler Pro can accept commands through the RS-232 serial communications port located on the rear panel. RS-232 can be used to control many of the product’s features which are also controlled using the IR Remote Control Unit. Refer to the HDSDI RS-232 Serial Communications Manual on the Gefen web site for details on using the RS-232 interface.
