IR REMOTE LAYOUT Menu Button Displays the built-in menu system. Right Cursor Button Moves the selection cursor to the Right, when using the On-Screen Display menu system. Enter Button Confi rms the current action. Activity Indicator This LED will be activated momentarily each time a button is pressed.
IR REMOTE INSTALLATION Installing the IR Remote Control Battery Remove the battery cover on the back of the IR Remote Control unit. Insert the included battery into the open battery slot. The positive (+) side of the battery should be facing up. Replace the battery cover.
IR REMOTE CONFIGURATION Resolving IR Code Confl icts In the event that IR commands from other remote controls confl ict 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.

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.
MENU FUNCTIONS General > Save Confi guration Saves the current confi guration 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 Confi gurations function (below).
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 Confi guration Dual Link confi guration: Single Link, Dual Link YCbCr, or Dual Link RGB.
Page 20
MENU FUNCTIONS Output > Genlock Reference The video signal can be synced (“genlocked”) to an external clock or video input using the Reference In connector. Output > Language Localizes the On-Screen Menu to either English or French.
Page 21
MENU FUNCTIONS Output > Gamma Correction Allows adjustment of the Gamma coeffi cient, 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.
Page 22
MENU FUNCTIONS Input > Input Graphic Format Selects the input graphic format. This should only be used if using a non- standard 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.
Page 23
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.
Page 24
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.
Page 25
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 >...

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 fi t the entire screen.
Page 27
MENU FUNCTIONS Aspect > Letter / Pillar Box Sets the aspect ratio on the output signal to fi t the letter box or pillar box format. Aspect > Panoramic Panoramic Zoom feature.
Page 28
MENU FUNCTIONS Aspect > Extract This function extracts a sub-window of the input signal. Use the Extract Size parameter to defi ne 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.
