4.0 CONNECTING THE HARDWARE
Please study the panel drawings below and become familiar with the signal input,
output, power requirements/input plus any controls present.
To begin, connect the AC adapter to the Format Converter’s power input. Next connect
the appropriate cable to the source device and then the Format Converter. Finally,
connect the output cable to the Format Converter and to the destination device. Once
the cables have been connected, you can apply power to the source and destination
devices and then plug the Format Converter’s AC adapter into the AC power source.
The Format Converter will begin to function as soon as it has power.
5.0 OPERATING THE UNIT
The 1T-FC-524 has input and output format control switches. For the input, you may
select either YPbPr or RGBHV analog format. For the output switch position, if your
input selection was analog YPbPr, selecting Bypass will result in a Digital YPbPr or a
Digital RGB output. Selecting analog RGBHV for the input and then selecting either
Bypass or RGB results in a Digital RGB output. For the 1T-FC-425, there is only an
Input selection to be made. Selecting a Digital YPbPr input will result on an analog
YPbPr output. Selecting Digital RGB input results in an analog RGBHV output.
Making the switch selections as explained above and then connecting the cables and
power will result in the device converting whatever signal is present on its input to the
complementary signal on its output. As an example, if you provide a digital 1080i
resolution signal to the input of the 1T-FC-425, an analog 1080i signal will appear on its
output. The 1T-FC-524 would perform the same conversion in reverse, changing a
1080i resolution analog signal into a 1080i Digital signal. These units are Format
Converters only and no video scaling takes place. The output resolution is the same as
the input. All standard HDTV resolutions are supported on both products from 480p
through 1080p, plus SDTV resolutions of 480i and 576i. PC resolutions up to
1920x1200 are supported. Note: HDCP content will not be converted by these devices
due to licensing and legal issues. This does not constitute a failure of the units.
