ADVANCED VIDEO SCALER 2. Introduction 2.1 Description The Advanced Video Scaler converts standard TV video from any composite or S-video source to one of six computer resolutions. These six resolutions were chosen to match the native resolution of almost any LCD, DLP, or plasma projector or display available today. In addition, the Video Scaler uses advanced motion compensation to eliminate the artifacts typically noticed when interlaced TV video is de-interlaced. 2.
ADVANCED VIDEO SCALER 3. Installation Installing the Advanced Video Scaler consists of three easy steps: connecting the power, connecting inputs and outputs, and selecting the desired output parameters. 3.1 Connecting the Power Connect the provided AC power cord to the power supply and connect the power cord to an AC outlet. The power supply is auto-sensing, so it will automatically adapt to your voltage anywhere in the world.
ADVANCED VIDEO SCALER Press the Function button to select Output Rate and use the Select button to set the desired output refresh rate. Press the Function button to select Input Source and use the Select button to select either the Composite or S-Video video source. Press the Function button to select Input Format. If your video source is in a standard 4:3 aspect ratio that fills the entire screen of a normal video monitor, then select Normal.
ADVANCED VIDEO SCALER 4. Operation The Advanced Video Scaler has many features to facilitate proper operation with any projector or display. For a particular installation, you don’t need to adjust any controls after the unit is installed. However, you can improve the picture quality by processing the video as detailed below. 4.1 Processing the Video on the Output Display Push the Function button to select Process on the front panel.
ADVANCED VIDEO SCALER 5. Internal DIP Switch Settings Inside the Advanced Video Scaler are several DIP switches for installation setup only that you do not need to access during normal operation. This section describes how to access these switches and what they are used for. 5.1 Accessing the DIP Switches Slide off the top cover by doing the following: 1. Remove all power and I/O connections to the unit. 2. Remove the two screws on the front panel. 3.
ADVANCED VIDEO SCALER 5.2 S1 DIP Switch The three-position DIP switch S1 is used to set the input video standard that the Advanced Video Scaler will look for on its inputs. All video standards are based on either 525 or 625 lines per frame. Most of the world is either NTSC-M or PAL-B and the default setting should be adequate for almost all applications.
ADVANCED VIDEO SCALER NOTE DO NOT change the five-position DIP switch S3. If it’s changed by mistake, reset it to the following factory default settings: S3-1 ON S3-2 OFF S3-3 OFF S3-4 OFF S3-5 OFF 5.3 S2 DIP Switch DIP switch S2 is used to set the type of sync on the outputs. Vertical sync is always present on the BNC connector labeled V. Separate horizontal and vertical syncs are always present on the VGA Compatible connector.
ADVANCED VIDEO SCALER Regardless of what is on the H/CS connector, composite sync may be added to the Green video signal on both the Green BNC and the Green pin of the VGA Compatible connector if composite sync (with or without serrations) is selected above and S2-3 is set as follows: S2-1 S2-2 S2-3 Sync added to Green? EITHER OFF ON Yes, composite with serrations EITHER ON ON Yes, composite without serrations EITHER EITHER OFF No sync added to Green NOTE The factory default for this DIP sw
