Page 9: Introduction
A single video output at any of a large range of scaled resolutions and refresh rates is provided through a DVI-I (RGB-DVI 300) or HDMI (RGB-HDMI 300 and RGB-HDMI 300 A) connector. Input and output settings, picture controls, and advanced settings can be adjusted through the front panel menu with on-screen display, using the Extron Signal Processing Products Control Program (SPPCP), or by RS-232, using the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands. -

Page 21: Configuration Procedure
Configuration Procedure NOTE: This section describes how to configure the scalers using the front panel controls and on-screen display. Many of these parameters can also be configured with SIS commands (see page 28) or the SPCPP software (see the SPCPP help file). To set up a scaler, follow these steps: Connect all input and output cabling to the scaler and apply AC power (Power Input see page 3). - Page 22 Table 2. PC, Laptop, and TV Input Rates *NOTE: The RGB-DVI 300 and RGB-HDMI 300 (A) video scalers have a maximum input pixel clock of 162 MHz. WUXGA2 and 1080p PC rates exceed this limit and are sampled with reduced total and active pixel values. If EDID emulation is enabled, between the PC source and the scaler, the source should default to WUXGA1 or HDTV-1080p, each of which can be sampled, pixel for pixel.
