HDMI SCALER
INTRODUCTIONS
DUX-SCL is an HDMI Scaler allowing users to match native resolutions of their displays
and is designed to use with standard displays, HDMI Matrix switchers, etc., where HDMI
is used.
DUX-SCL accepts input resolutions from 800 x 600 to 1920 x 1200 (VESA) and 480p to
2160p (SMPTE) and supports output resolution 1280 x 768, 1280 x 800, 1920 x 1200,
3840 x 2160 and Auto Scaler (VESA) and 1280 x 720P, 1920 x 1080P (SMPTE). Such
variety of output resolution options provide users more freedom while adjusting their
video signal for the best result.
DUX-SCL installs a SCALER switch for manual adjustment of output resolutions. When
connected to a control PC through RS232, the device can be controlled through API
command.
DUX-SCL is ideal for applications where high quality video scaling or 4K-1080P down-
scaling is required due to the mix use of displays in different aspect ratio or preferred
timing. Seamless switching is realizable while DUX-SCL is working with DUX-8C or DUX-
8D HDMI Matrix.
Features
 HDMI Input and Output both support up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 8bit.
 HDCP 2.2 compliant.
 Supports scaling output adjustment by SCALER DIP switch.
 Seamless switching when using with DUX-8C or DUX-8D Matrix.

SCALER SWITCH
DUX-SCL installs a “SCALER” Switch for manual adjustment of the scaling output.
By default, the SCALER Switch is in “Auto Scaler” position (all switches are set to 000
or upward). Users are allowed to set DUX-SCL to desired scaling output resolution by
using the SCALER Switch.
