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.

calculate the precise output for your system. To enter the Display Setup menu, scroll up \or down ]to highlight
the Display Setup, scroll right a to move to the next menu.
1. At the fist line, with SCREEN highlighted,
you will choose the type of screen that is in
use. For standard 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1)
screens or conventional direct view monitors,
press the left `or right a buttons so that 4:3 is
highlighted. If you have a wide aspect ratio,
16:9 (1.78:1) screen, press the left `or right
a buttons so that 16:9 is highlighted.
Remember, this selection pertains to the
physical screen size only, it is not related to
the aspect ratio of the program material being
played back.
2. When you have entered the screen type information, press the down ]button to move to the next line, where
Display Lines will be highlighted. This is where a key piece of information is entered that determines the line
multiplication used by the TranScanner 2.
For NTSC video sources the range of the Display Lines are from 525 to 1050, and for PAL video sources the
range of the Display Lines are from 625 to 1250 lines. For perfect projection, the scan lines on the screen should
be as close as possible to one another so that they are not visible, but not so close that they overlap.
3. To determine the multiplier function that is correct for your projector and screen combination, first display a
normal image on your screen with the TranScanner 2 set for 525. Measure the vertical height of the picture, NOT
THE SCREEN, at this setting, and note that figure as “Height 1”.
Next, use the vertical size or height control on your projector to slowly shrink the picture size. As you shrink the
picture, look closely at the line structure on the screen. When the scan lines begin to overlap, stop the controls
and back the size up a bit so that they are just touching one another. A small bit of space between the lines is
acceptable, but it is always best to make that space as small as possible.
Measure the vertical height of the image, and note it as “Height 2”. After you measure and note the size, return
the projected image to normal size before continuing.
With these two numbers, you are ready to calculate the multiplication factor according to the following steps: First,
divide “Height 1” by “Height 2”, and then multiply the result by 525. The number that results will be the optimal
setting for your system.
As an example, if the normal picture height is 60 inches, and the optimal picture height is 40 inches, divide 60 by
40 to get 1.5. Multiply 1.5 x 525, and the result is 787. In this example, 787 is the number that will be entered
into the TranScanner 2’s memory as the Display Lines figure.
Display Lines = H1 divided by H2 x 525
5. Once you have calculated your multiplier number, make certain that Display Lines is highlighted, and press the
left `or right a buttons until the desired number appears. When the correct figure is shown, press the down ]
button to move to the next line.

Aspect Ratio.
Once the 2.35 aspect ratios are disabled, they will not appear in the menus. However, they may be restored at
any time through the 2.35 Aspect Ratio menu.
When all adjustments on the Display Setup menu are complete, press the “ENTER” button when instructed to
store the settings in the TranScanner 2’s memory.
Note: The TranScanner 2 is capable of providing an output signal up to 64 kHz in Horizontal Frequency. Some
projectors may not scan this high in frequency and may loose the synchronization. If this occurs the TranScanner
2 can be reset back to 31.5 kHz.
The following sequence of the buttons on the remote control will reset the TranScanner 2 output to the 31.5 kHz:
“EXIT”; “EXIT”; “ENTER”; “0”; “ENTER”.

OSG Setup
The OSG Setup allows to synchronize TranScanner 2’s internally generated on screen graphics to external
sources such as progressive DVD, HD tuners or computers.
Select “Low” for external sources with Horizontal frequency up to 36 KHz.
Select “High” for external sources with Horizontal frequency higher than 36 KHz.
Off - Relay is off.
Power - Relay is on when the unit is on.
4:3 - Relay is on when 4:3 Aspect Ratio is selected.
16:9 - Relay is on when 1.85 or 2.35 Aspect Ratios are selected.

TranScanner 2 Aspect Ratio Guide
The TranScanner 2 is a variable line multiplier and requires one time setup for optimum line density.
The optimum line density is characterized by the CRT beam spot size and the raster height.
Once the TranScanner 2 is programmed, it calculates and provides an output with three different scanning
frequencies, as follows:
1. The High scan rate, for 4:3 aspect ratio (active image) recordings.
2. The Medium scan rate, for 1.85 anamorphic and 1.85 letterbox recordings.
3. The Low scan rate is for 2.35 anamorphic and 2.35 letterbox recordings.
The projector must be adjusted for three scan_rate/aspect_ratio memories.
1. High scan rate with 1.33:1 aspect ratio.
2. Medium scan rate with 1.78:1 aspect ratio
3. Low scan rate with 2.26:1 aspect ratio.
Based on the source material that is playing, the user can select one of five aspect ratios from the TranScanner
2’s “Aspect Ratio” menu. The projector will then automatically sense the scan rate of the signal coming from the
TranScanner 2, and switch the projector to its first configured “Source” memory based on that same scan
frequency.
The following pictures illustrate screen, source and image aspect ratio. The screen aspect ratio refers to
the aspect ratio of the physical screen (4:3 => 1.33:1; and 16:9 =>1.78:1).
The source aspect ratio refers to the aspect ratio of the recorded material itself. The letter “A” indicates an
“Anamorphic” source (Not all DVDs are anamorphic, and the ones that are, usually list the feature as “enhanced
wide-screen”. The letters “LB” indicates a letterbox .
Finally, the image aspect ratio refers to the actual projected image size. In the drawings, this area is shown in
white. Please notice how a 1.85 source Anamorphic recording will actually yield a 1.78:1 image aspect ratio in the
final viewing. For a 2.35 source Anamorphic recording, the image aspect ratio will be 2.26:1 in the final viewing.
Warning! To prevent premature phosphor burn reduce contrast and brightness in the projector for scan
memories with smaller raster!
