Introduction
The TranScanner 2 is a variable line multiplier designed for use with projectors that have a scanning frequency
between 31.5kHz to 64kHz.
The TranScanner 2 cannot be used with a conventional television receiver or projector.
The projector or monitor used with the TranScanner 2 must have an RGB+S input and a horizontal scanning
frequency of between 31.5 kHz - 64 kHz.
Operating at this higher frequency, the TranScanner 2 multiplies the number of scanning lines, interpolating the
additional picture information from detail found in the original source material.
The scanning lines visible on conventional large screen displays are virtually eliminated and the new picture is
bright, colorful, and "film like".
The TranScanner 2 provides source switching for nine different inputs including three component ( Y, Cr, Cb ),
two composite video inputs, two S-VIDEO (Y/C) inputs and two RGB H & V Sync inputs.
An infrared wireless remote control with on-screen graphics selects the input source and adjusts all of the
operating controls.
Video controls include: contrast, brightness, color, tint, and sharpness.
Settings for each individual video input may be adjusted and stored separately in the controller's nonvolatile
memory. These settings will be restored each time that input is selected.
Programming SL-8000 Remote Control to Operate the TranScanner 2
The TranScanner 2 is shipped with a factory pre-programmed remote control.
1. Press the “AUX” and the “MUTE” buttons simultaneously. "SET" will appear on the LCD.
2. Enter the TranScanner 2’s brand code: “080”.
3. Press “AUX” button to complete the programming.
To operate other audio and video devices refer to the “SL-8000 Operating Manual”.

1. SWITCHED +12VDC OUTPUTS
The TranScanner 2 has two switched +12 VDC outlets labeled as RY1 and RY2. These outlets may be used to
trigger a relay in an electric screen, projector lift or some other relay activated device. See “Relay Setup” menu
for more details.
2. RED, GREEN, BLUE AND H, V, C SYNC OUTPUTS
The output video signal from the TranScanner 2 to the display device is made via five BNC connectors for Red,
Green, Blue, H and V Sync. High quality 75 Ohm coaxial cables are recommended to connect the output of
TranScanner 2 to the display device.
The composite C Sync output may be used for displays that accept composite sync input.
3. RGBS INPUTS
The RGBS1 and RGBS2 inputs are provided for sources such as personal computers, HD tuners, video
cameras, graphic generators, and other video equipment with an RGB and Sync output.
Since these sources already operate at a horizontal frequency that is higher than conventional NTSC or PAL
video, the TranScanner 2 does not multiply their scan rate. However, the TranScanner 2 provides source
switching for these inputs, converts H & V Sync to composite Sync, provides control of contrast and brightness,
and amplifies RGB video signals to allow the use of longer cable lengths.
The TranScanner 2 will automatically switch to a RGB input if proper Horizontal or Composite Sync is applied at
pin 13 of the D-15 RGB connector.
The pin assignments for the 15 PIN "D" connector are as follows:
1. Red
2. Green

- 7 of 18 -
3. Blue
13. Horizontal Sync
14. Vertical Sync
6-9. Ground
The RGB source must be an analog signal with a horizontal frequency which is compatible with the scanning
frequencies of the projector or monitor.
4. RS-232 COMPUTER INPUT
The RS-232C serial interface is provided for external control of the TranScanner 2 from a central controller, such
as a Home Theater control computer, Smart Home automation system, etc.
For DB9 connector pin-out and RS232 command list please refer to “TranScanner 2 RS232 Control” section.
5. S-VIDEO INPUTS (S1, S2)
The S1 and S2 inputs are provided for video recorders, DVD players, DSS receivers, video cameras and laser
disc players which have an S-VIDEO (Y/C) output. The tape quality from machines with S-VIDEO outputs is
maximized if the tapes were recorded in the S-VIDEO format.
6. COMPOSITE VIDEO INPUTS (V1, V2)
The V1 and V2 inputs are provided for laser disc players, non S-VIDEO tape machines, satellite receivers, video
tuners, video cameras and other equipment which has a composite video output.
7. COMPONENT VIDEO INPUTS (Y-Cr-Cb)
Three component video inputs are provided for DVD players and HD sources.
For an interlaced component video signals such as from a regular DVD player (480i component signal), the
TranScanner 2 provides deinterlacing, scaling and complete picture controls, including a full range of color
saturation and hue controls.
For component video signals from a progressive DVD (480p component signal), or from an HD tuner (1080i or
720p component signal), the TranScanner 2 provides signal transcoding from component to RGB and full range
of picture contrast and brightness controls. Each of these component inputs may be connected to any of 480i,
480p, 1080i or 720p above mentioned component sources. The TranScanner 2 determines which type of
component video signal is applied to its input and processes it accordingly.
