INTRODUCTION
1.1.
General Introduction
HQView-325 is a very flexible image scaler developed specifically for driving large screen displays and
multiple screen applications from video or graphics sources.
HQView-325 features state of the art digital image processor which provides market leading HD & SD
per-pixel multiple Iow-angle motion-adaptive de-interlacing and automatic film pull-down correction for
3:2 and 2:2, significantly outperforming the capabilities of benchmark competitor products. HQView-325
features excellent image processing algorithms for the very best scaling, film and video noise reduction
and MPEG artefact reduction.
HQView-325 uses a flexible high performance video input front end including HDMI and DVI video with
HDCP encryption, as well as computer graphics inputs in SVGA analogue and HDMI/DVI digital
formats.
The output format can be set to I/O Lock mode where it locks the output frame rate to the input frame
rate dynamically without frame rate conversion so as to reduce system latency, or it can be set to a fixed
output frame rate for driving basic screens which are not 50Hz-compatible.
A Low latency mode with non-motion adaptive reduced processing is available for when the shortest
latency is important.
Outputs are available in DVI/HDMI digital formats with HDCP encryption compatibility.
HQView-325 supports Pan, Tilt and Zoom to select a part of the input image, fill the screen and pan
within it.
HQView-325 supports multi-screen or multi-projector installations by means of Auto Zoom and Edge
Blend with elaborate Black Level Uplift.
Edge Blend electronically reduces the brightness level of certain image regions to seamlessly match the
brightness of overlapping areas. Auto Zoom automatically crops and zooms the input video image to
display a section of the total image on the corresponding projector or screen.
Embedded warp allows adjustment of the image in a projection scenario to match a rotated, tilted or
curved screen. For 9:16 portrait mode signage special predefined portrait modes are available to rotate
and stretch a video image to fill a +/-90° rotated display panel.
HQView-325 also features free form warp capability for non-flat screens in single or multi projector
installation. Warp maps created with the PC tool “Warp Generator” can be uploaded into HQView-325.
HQView-325 is supported by 3rd party PC based auto calibration software creating such warp maps
using camera captured information.
System control is via an OSD controlled by keys on the front panel or through the inbuilt TCP/IP web
server.
Additionally a free API manual is published on our website at the link given below to allow the use of the
LAN or RS232 remote control ports.

HQVIEW-325 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
2.1.
Product Overview
HQView-325 is designed to accept the following input signals:
VGA analogue (computer interface) via a 15HDD
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) via DVI-I (supporting a digital or 2nd analogue VGA input)
HDMI via HDMI connector
2.2.
Product Specification
This section provides technical details for all possible inputs.
Please note that not all possible input options may be applicable to certain output modes.
2.2.1.
Power Supply Requirement
100V-264VAC 50/60Hz connected via a standard IEC connector located on the rear panel.
2.2.2.
Computer (SVGA) Inputs VESA formats
Signal formats: DOS, VGA –WUXGA up to 165MHz pixel clock
RGB video level 0.7V - 1.0V
RGB input impedance 75 Ohms
Sync format Separate H & V sync at TTL/5V levels.
2.2.3.
HDMI & DVI Inputs

off for use with MAC computers.
DVI-D input with or without HDCP
Signal formats -video
480i and 576i (SD) in double-rate formats (1440 pixels per line), 480p, 576p (ED), 720p, 1080i at 50,
59.94 & 60Hz, 1080p at 24, 25, 30, 50, 59.94 & 60Hz.
Signal formats –computer
DOS, VGA –WUXGA up to 165 MHz pixel clock
2.2.4.
Audio Output
Audio is embedded in the HDMI input video stream. The audio is passed through the system and re-
embedded into the HDMI output signal.
Also, HQView-325 features a S/PDIF coaxial digital audio output connector for monitoring audio of the
HDMI channel.
When HDMI is selected as the input channel the HDMI EDID is read by a video source such as a Blue
Ray Player. HQView-325 allows the source to provide the formats shown under output formats for HDMI
in the below table. (Note: Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD-Master are not in the list of audio formats and
thus not supported.)
©Calibre UK Limited Issue 2.40 10th January 2014, W: www.calibreuk.com
All formats are re-embedded into the HDMI output data stream, those which are not allowed on the
SPDIF output are muted on the SPDIF channel.
Output Channel
Output Format
HDMI
PCM up to 8ch, up to 24Bit, up to 192kHz sampling rate
(incl. 32kHz,44.1kHz,48kHz,96kHz,192kHz)
Dolby Digital (AC3) up to 5.1 channels, up to 640kBit/sec bit stream rate
MPEG2 up to 8ch, up to 112kBit/sec bit stream rate
DTS up to 6.1 channels, up to 1536kBit/sec bit stream rate
SPDIF
PCM up to 2ch, up to 24Bit, up to 96kHz sampling rate
(incl. 32kHz,44.1kHz,48kHz,96kHz)
Dolby Digital (AC3) up to 5.1 channels
DTS up to 6.1 channels
2.2.5.
Display Output
A DVI-I connector is provided which will support DVI outputs as well as HDMI 1.3 with 36-bit video and
HD audio formats when connected to a suitable HDMI 1.3 receiver. When the input signal has HDCP
encryption, the DVI-D output connector will carry a similarly HDCP encrypted signal. When an HDCP
encrypted signal is input, but the display device does not support HDCP, the output image will
turn black and a message indicating HDCP Signal will come up to indicate this.
The color depth of the HDMI output signal is determined by the set-up of HQView and the capabilities of
the monitor. The bit depth per color channel is displayed in the output section of the menu system
Note: The processor’s HDCP compliance can be turned off. This is of importance particularly when
using a MAC computer as the source. A MAC will encrypt it’s output signal if a compliant device is seen
attached to it’s output. By turning off the HQView processor’s compliance the MAC will see a non-
compliant device and therefore will not encrypt its output.

Introduction
The front panel has keys for OSD menu navigation and input channel selection. OSD navigation is
through two direction keys and a Menu/Enter key
.
1 –Standby key: When applying power to the unit it starts up. This is indicated by the green On LED
flashing. Once the unit is operational, the On LED is permanently on. By pressing the Standby Key, the
unit is put into standby mode. This is indicated by the red Standby LED being permanently on.
The red Keylocked LED indicates a keypad locking condition issued through the OSD menu. If a key on
the front panel is now pressed an OSD message comes up and displays the multiple key press to be
applied to unlock the front panel keys. (OSD can be disabled)
2 –Input channel selection keys: All input channels can be directly selected. The active channel is
indicated by the red LED above the corresponding channel key being on.
3 –Test Pattern key: Key to directly activate a Test Pattern. Use the up/down keys to toggle trough the
available test patterns or can be selected in the menu system. The LED is switched on when in Test
Pattern mode.
4 –OSD navigational keys: With the Menu key the OSD menu is activated. The up/down keys are used
for OSD menu navigation. To exit the OSD menu or any submenu press the up and down key
simultaneously or navigate to the Exit item and press the menu/enter key. To access a submenu
navigate to it and press the menu/enter key. To apply a change go to the menu item, press the
menu/enter key and make a parameter change with the up/down key. Confirm the change by pressing
the Menu/enter key. This will also bring you back to the submenu.
With the following multiple key presses further functions can be applied:
Keypad unlock: Menu/Up/Down

3.3.
Main Menu
The main menu lists the input channel select item, 6 sub menus, and a menu item for automatic setup
of VGA modes. The 6 sub menus are Output, Color, Geometry, Multiple Unit, Enhancement and
System.
On each menu page an Exit menu item is available to leave the menu or submenu. The menu may also
be left by pressing the up/down key simultaneously.
The menu system is contextual. Some adjustments are not applicable to all signal types or operating
modes, in which case those non-applicable functions will be ghosted/ greyed out and are not accessible.
All menus have a top status line and a bottom line indicating the firmware revision number. In the status
line the currently selected input channel is indicated and the detected mode is identified. The firmware
revision number displays the revision number of the boot-loader behind BL, the revision number of the
firmware behind FW and the model number 325 of the unit.
Navigating the menu system or changing values is done with the up and down keys. In the following
sections the set-up method using the up and down keys is described.
To set up your HQView-325 it is recommended that you follow this procedure:
Choose the correct output mode and parameters to suit your screen or projector.
Select the correct input signal.
Set the input levels and features appropriately to optimize the appearance of your image.
Set any other parameters to suit your application.
Note: All Input parameters are specific to your chosen input channel and input signal type, they are not
global to the unit. All Output parameters are specific to the output so will appear to be global.
3.4.
Input
In addition to the front panel buttons the list of available inputs can be scrolled through in the Input menu
using the Up and Down keys. The new input is not selected until the Menu key is pressed. The list of
inputs are: VGA, DVI, HDMI and Test Pattern.
Test patterns can be generated by HQView-325 without needing an input connected. When Test Pattern
is selected as the input, the required test pattern can be chosen with the menu navigation up/down keys
when the menu system has been exited, or it can be selected in menu/System/Input Config/Test Pattern
Setup.
3.5. Output
This menu contains adjustments associated with setting up outputs from the unit. The items are
organized in three sub menus, Display Type, Gamma/Color/Crush and Output Config. Use the up and
down keys to scroll to the required item and press the Menu key.
3.5.1. Display Type
Settings: LCD/Plasma, Projector
The Display Type setting defaults to Projector. When set to LCD/Plasma Multiple unit configurations
with auto zoom are available, but without edge blend. Note: For HQView-325 leave the setting to
Projector mode, since for this model essentially there is no difference to LCD/Plasma mode.

3.5.2. Output Mode
Settings: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x768, 1280x800, 1280x1024, 1360x768, 1366x768,
1400x1050, 1440x900, 1600x1200, 1680x1050, 1920x1200, 480i, 576i, 480p, 576p, 1080i, 720p, 1080p
Set up the desired output resolution with output mode.
The output mode setting should match the native resolution of the imaging device to avoid double
scaling.
The default output resolution as set by the factory or after a user issued factory reset is 720p.
3.5.3. Location
Settings: Front Tabletop, Front Ceiling, Rear Tabletop, Rear Ceiling
The image can be flipped to accommodate different projection scenarios as well as screens mounted
upside down.
3.5.4. Frame Rate
Available Settings: 60 Hz, 50 Hz, 48 Hz, 24 Hz, Auto
In auto mode the output frame rate follows the input frame rate as configured in the Output Config
menu.
Signals with 24Hz, 25H, 48Hz, 50Hz input modes get special treatment, modes with other refresh rates
are displayed at 60Hz.
24Hz input modes will be output at 24Hz if the output resolution is set to either 720p or 1080p and the
Frame Rate setting in the Output Config menu includes 24Hz, otherwise it is displayed at twice the rate
if the Frame Rate setting in the Output Config menu includes 48Hz.
Otherwise a 24Hz input mode is displayed at 60Hz. 48Hz input modes will be output at 48Hz if the
Frame Rate setting in the Output Config menu includes 48Hz.
Otherwise it is displayed at 50Hz.
A 25Hz input mode is output at twice the frame rate 50Hz.
An exception to the 24/25Hz input mode treatment is if the output resolution is set to 480i or 480p. 480i
and 480p are always run at 60Hz output rate.
50Hz input modes are displayed at 50Hz output rate.
The output frame rate can also manually set to 24Hz, 48Hz, 50Hz or 60Hz if possible, i.e. such output
modes are available.
Only 720p and 1080p output modes are available with 24Hz refresh rate.
480i and 480p output modes are only available at 60Hz refresh rate.
For all other modes 48Hz, 50Hz and 60Hz refresh rate is available.
3.5.5. I/O Lock
Settings: Off, Auto
If I/O Lock is switched off the output is run with a fixed refresh rate determined by the frame rate setting,
which deviates from the input refresh rate, even if both are nominally at the same rate. This causes
occasional frame dropping or repeat.
If I/O Lock is set to Auto the output refresh rate is following the input video refresh rate if locking is
possible.
Locking is achieved by modulating the output clock and works if input and output refresh rate are
nominally at the same rate, e.g. when frame rate is set to 60Hz and the video input is also 60Hz.
©Calibre UK Limited Issue 2.40 10th January 2014, W: www.calibreuk.com
If e.g. the video input rate is 50 Hz and the Frame rate is set to 60Hz, the output will enter free run
mode.
When Frame Rate is set to Auto the matching frame rate is chosen.
The status line of the OSD window under Sync Mode indicates if the output signal is locked to the input
signal (I/O Locked) or in free run mode (Free Run).
3.5.6. Native Colour Temp
Settings: 5500, 6500, 7500, 9300, 10000
Native Colour Temp allows the user to select from pre-configured colour temperatures to match the
display. If both Native Colour Temp set here in the Output menu and Colour Temp set in the Colour
menu are set to the same value, no conversion is performed.
3.5.7. Output Gamma
Settings: 1.0 to 3.0 in steps of 0.1
Output gamma allows to re-gamma video signals with pre-configured gamma values to match the
display. Input gamma and output gamma both default to 2.2. If they are both set to the same value,
there is no effect on the image.
Note: If e.g. an adjustment to reduce the level of red in the image is required, select a higher number for
the (input) Colour Temp in the Colour menu, or a lower number for the Native Colour Temp in the
Output menu.
3.5.8. Output Config
This Menu provides items to configure the output port.
Optimize for Display
Settings: DVI forced, Optimized, DVI/HDMI
Internally, the display interface processes data at a full ten bits per colour. A resolution of ten bits per
colour is provided for the VGA output. The colour depth on the DVI-D output is determined by the
supported standard of the attached monitor or device when set to DVI/HDMI. For DVI 1.0 and HDMI
1.1/1.2 devices it is 24 bit, for HDMI 1.3 compliant devices it is up to 36 bit.
DVI forced will output with 24 bit colour depth irrespective of the supported standard of the attached
monitor.
When the Optimized setting is enabled the output resolution is automatically set to the native screen
resolution of the attached display. The colour depth is determined in the same way as when set to
DVI/HDMI.
DVI Colour Space and DVI Range
The colour space of the DVI output port can be set to RGB or YPbPr, the range can be set to Expand,
Normal, Compress and Auto.
A limited video range is only using the following greyscale for video information - 8 Bit System: 0x01 ..
0xFE, 10 Bit System: 0x004 .. 0x03FB.
Auto makes the best choice for the range for the DVI and 3G-SDI output. If the HDMI/DVI output does
not behave as expected, e.g. because the HDMI display is not evaluating AVInfoFrames properly, the
range can be changed manually.
Frame Rates
Settings: 60/50 Hz, 60/50/24 Hz, 60/50/48, 60/50/24/48
