INTRODUCTION
Gefen's DVI to HD-SDI Single Link Scaler is the newest revision of our HD-SDI
conversion line incorporating full single link DVI-D conversion scaled up to SD/HD-SDI
single resolutions. Resolutions of up to 1080p are supported over the HDSDI link for
those that want true “High Definition”. Performance has been greatly enhanced due to
Gennum’s VXP Scaler onboard; allowing for new features such as: Color & Gamma
Correction, Noise Reduction, Detail Enhancement, Aspect Ratio Selection, Pattern
Generator Mode, & Multiple Language Menu Support. Bottom Line? -- More
performance, less cost.
DVI devices are connected to the DVI input and SDI devices are connected to the SDI
output. When the source, display and the Scaler are powered and connected, video
signals are converted to the proper format.

RMT-8HDS-IR INSTALLATION
1. Remove battery cover from the back of the RMT-8HDS-IR remote.
2. Verify that dip switches 1 & 2 are in the down (OFF) position.
3. Insert the battery, hold the battery so that you can see the positive side facing up. The
side that is not marked must be facing down.
4. Test the RMT-8HDS-IR remote by pressing ONLY one button at a time. The indica-
tor light on the remote will flash once each time you press a button. WARNING: Do not
press multiple buttons simultaneously and do NOT press buttons rapidly. These actions
will cause the remote to reset and steps 1-4 will have to be repeated.
Note: The RMT-8HDS-IR ships with two batteries. One battery is required for operation,
the second battery is complimentary.
