Safety Warnings
 THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS WITHIN THE UNIT. REMOVAL OF THE TOP
COVER WILL EXPOSE THE USER TO DANGEROUS VOLTAGES. DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT
WITHOUT THE TOP COVER INSTALLED.
 ENSURE THAT ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (INCLUDING THE MAINS PLUG AND ANY
EXTENSION LEADS) COMPLY WITH ELECTRICAL SAFETY REGULATIONS.
 CONNECT ONLY LOW VOLTAGE ISOLATED CIRCUITS TO THE INPUT AND OUTPUT
CONNECTORS . IF ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS ISSUE, PLEASE CONSULT
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
 TO PREVENT SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE. IF SUCH EXPOSURE OCCURS, REMOVE THE POWER CABLE FROM THE
MAINS OUTLET AND HAVE THE EXPOSED UNIT CHECKED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
 DO NOT OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT IF IT APPEARS THAT IS NOT OPERATING NORMALLY,
OR IF IT IS DAMAGED IN ANY WAY. REMOVE THE POWER CABLE FROM THE MAINS
OUTLET AND CONSULT QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
 DO NOT REMOVE ANY FIXED COVERS UNLESS YOU ARE A QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL. ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER CABLE FROM THE MAINS OUTLET
BEFORE ANY COVER IS REMOVED.

1. Introduction
This manual explains how to operate your HQView600, HQUltra700 and LEDView700 Series Scaler-
Switcher. If you have any questions relating to this or any other product supplied by Calibre
please visit our web site www.calibreuk.com.
1.1 System Overview
The HQView600, HQUltra700 and LEDView700 Series of scalers-switchers feature excellent image
processing algorithms for the very best in scaling, motion-adaptive de-interlacing and automatic film
3:2 and 2:2 pull-down correction. The new generation of Calibre products significantly outperforms
the capabilities of benchmark competitor products.
In addition to full 4K processing, new and unique technology allows for seamless switching between
different inputs as fast as ¼ of a second.
The HQView600, HQUltra700 and LEDView700 Series feature with a flexible, high performance video
input front end that allows them to accept and process a wide variety of inputs. HDMI, DVI and
Display Port video with HDCP encryption is supported, as are computer graphics inputs in SVGA
analogue and HDMI/DVI digital formats. Analogue support also includes true component video in
YPbPr and RGBS formats as well as composite (CVBS) inputs.
A high performance video decoder is utilised with 4x oversampling and 3D Y/C separation for
outstanding video image clarity. The output frame rate can lock to the input frame rate dynamically
without frame rate conversion in order to reduce system latency; or it can be set to a fixed output
frame rate, e.g. for driving basic screens which are not 50Hz-compatible. The output format can also
lock to an externally provided synchronization signal on various models (see model matrix).
3GSDI/HDSDI/SDI digital formats are supported on various models (see model matrix below).
Outputs are available in HDMI/DVI digital formats as well as 3GSDI and HDBaseT (see model matrix
below). All outputs are active simultaneously, except in the cases where the formats are not
compatible. For example, for the PC graphic formats that are not supported by the SDI standards, the
3GSDI output will be disabled. Also note that if an HDCP encrypted signal is connected to the DP,
HDMI or DVI input, the HDMI and DVI output signals will be similarly HDCP encrypted and the 3GSDI
output will be disabled. HDCP capability can be switched off per input, so that a source can transmit
non-protected content material.
The Pan, Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) feature allows users to select a ‘region of interest’, ROI, of the input image
to fill the screen and pan and tilt within it.
The Video Wall feature allows multiple units to work synchronously and be part of a large matrix
configuration, up-to 4x4. Each unit automatically crops a section of the input video image and displays
it on the corresponding projector or screen.

LEDView models offer an additional menu allowing users to easily and quickly define the area within
the output raster where the scaled image will be placed. This area is define to match exactly the size
of the LED wall. The image can be reduced to an area as small as 128x96 pixels.
In system configurations where multiple units are driving large LED walls, a unique splicing menu
allows users to select the portion of the input image that each unit will process. Although the input
image will be processed by multiple units, the resulting image on the LED wall will be seamless and
whole. No motion artefacts such as tears will appear between the different LED sections, because the
outputs of all units are perfectly synchronised together. The software allows the wall to be split in
equal or unequal parts.
All units can be operated via the front panel display and rotary knob, or through a built-in web page, or
via an API interface. The API manual is published separately and is available on our website.
HQView models that support audio include 8 stereo audio inputs and two microphone inputs with
Phantom Power. An embedded audio mixer allows mixing of the mic inputs to any analog or digital
audio signal. Each unit includes a 30W stereo audio power amplifier allowing direct connection to
loudspeakers. Separate line level outputs are also provided for connecting to external amplifier
systems.
