NTRODUCTION
ScanCard II provides a method of displaying VGA/SVGA,
composite video, S-Video, and various audio connections to
any of the Philips 19", 25", 27", 32" or 36" SmartCard tele-
visions. This allows the user more dynamic picture and
sound quality when using computers, video cameras,
VCRs, DVD Players, Laser Disc Players, CD-i Players,
Web Browsers, and Satellite Systems.
With use of a T374AH Setup Remote (see T374AH Remote
Control Instructions - part # IB7166E002 for complete
details), the installer can adjust the normal commercial tele-
vision functions (with the exception of the BRIGHTNESS
and PICTURE settings for VGA and NON-VGA display
modes). ScanCard II will store a separate set of BRIGHT-
NESS and PICTURE settings for these display modes. This
allows the display to be optimized for computer generated
graphics while retaining display settings that are pleasing
for off-air or accessory equipment viewing (VCR, DVD,
etc.).
With the ability to adjust the picture through horizontal and
vertical scaling, ScanCard II allows full use of your display
when using the most current computer software applica-
tions.
When tuned to the VGA channel, ScanCard II gives the
option of viewing the display twice as large with a 2x
ZOOM feature. This larger display can be "PANNED" left,
right, up, or down by pressing the remote's CURSOR
keys.
This unique television module can easily be linked or
"daisy chained" to multiple monitors using the "loop-
through" jacks located on the rear jack panel of ScanCard
II. You can create a central control area with many monitor-
ing stations, ideal for educational purposes.
Access to additional external inputs provided by ScanCard
II can be obtained simply by changing channels. Using the
channel UP/DOWN buttons to select the three channels
directly below the lowest broadcast channel, will allow the
use of AUX, S-VIDEO, and VGA inputs. These "channels"
can also be selected directly using the supplied remote.
This remote has dedicated buttons labeled SVID, VGA, and
AUX. Pressing any of these buttons will directly tune the
SmartCard TV to it's respective channel (or input jack).
ScanCard II transforms any SmartCard television into the
ultimate display for computer graphics, TV broadcast pro-
gramming, inter-active CD-Rom, DVD, Laser Disc Players
or any of today's hi-tech entertainment devices.
