1. INTRODUCTION
This compact yet versatile HDMI to HDMI UHD Scaler accepts and outputs
a wide range of resolutions up to 4K@60Hz (4:4:4, 8-bit) with simultaneous
audio embedding and de-embedding of digital (HDMI or optical) or analog
audio. Integrated EDID and HDCP management options allow for control
over the way connected sources and displays detect the unit. The scaled
HDMI output is powered by a high quality single-pass scaling engine with
the ability to adjust the image with a number of fine tuning options including:
contrast, brightness, hue, saturation, sharpness, noise reduction, and RGB
levels. 3-D motion adaptive de-interlacing and frame rate conversion is
supported as well.
The HDMI input and output supports passing up to LPCM 7.1 digital audio
as well as Bitstream and HD Bitstream audio formats. Audio embedding and
de-embedding is also available with the included digital optical and analog
stereo audio inputs and outputs (LPCM 2.0 only). Shortcut keys are provided
to quickly change the output resolution to 1080p@60Hz or XGA when
needed for quick connection to a display or for troubleshooting purposes.
This is an ideal device to integrate previously incompatible sources and
displays in your boardroom, classroom, or home. This unit is controlled via a
comprehensive On-Screen Display (OSD) menu that provides the user with
easy access to all settings.

1) Output: Selects the output resolution to use. Selecting “Native” will make
the unit automatically select an output resolution based on the detected
EDID of the connected display.
2) Aspect: Selects the aspect ratio to use when outputting the source. “Full”
stretches the source to fill the output resolution, regardless of the original
aspect ratio, while “Best Fit” will always attempt to retain the original
source’s correct aspect ratio by adding black bars if necessary. “Follow
In” centers the source on the screen, without any scaling (1:1 pixel
reproduction). Selecting “Zoom Mode” activates the free-scaling zoom
mode which allows for a zoom/shrink level to be manually selected using
the “Zoom Mode Ratio” setting.
Note: Some video noise might be present when using the “Follow In”
mode if the selected output resolution is 4096×2160@60Hz and the
source is at, or above, 1680×1050 but below 3840×2160.
3) Zoom Mode Ratio: Sets the percentage amount to zoom or shrink the
image when “Zoom Mode” is active.
4) HDCP: Selects the HDCP logic to use with the HDMI input. Setting this
to “Off” will completely disable HDCP support on that input.
5) No Signal Color: Selects the free run color to use when no live input
source is detected.
6) Blank: Allows for the output video and audio to be blanked/ muted.
7) Freeze: Allows for the output video to be frozen. While the output is
frozen, audio output will also be muted.
8) Auto Sync Off: Sets the amount of time to continue outputting sync

with the free run color if there is no live source and no operations have
been executed on the unit. Setting this to “OFF” forces the unit to always
output sync.
9) Output Setting: Allows for configuring the following special video signal
handing functions.
■ Bypass Enable: Enables or disables source bypass mode. When
this is enabled, the video signal will be passed without modification.
■ Output 4K(6G) YUV420: Enables or disables the 4K@50/60 4:4:4 to
4K@50/60 4:2:0 color space conversion function.
Note: Enabling Bypass mode will grey-out/disable the following Video
Menu sections: Aspect, Zoom Mode Ratio, Freeze, Blank, and the entire
Picture Menu section.
