scaledoutputsinCompositeandS-Video,whilemaintainingtheoriginalaspectratiofor
optimalviewing.ThecoaxS/PDIFdigitalaudioandleft/rightanalogaudiooutputsallow
theaudioextractedfromtheHDMIsignaltobesenttoanyA/VReceiveroraudioamplier.
Underscan/OverscanandNTSC/PALswitcheshelpassurecompatibilitywithavarietyof
analogtelevisions.ThisscaleralsofeaturesaUSBportforrmwareupgrades.
How It Works
UsingtheincludedHDMIcable,connecttheHi-DefsourcetotheHDMIinput.Usea
compositeorS-videocabletoconnectthescalertotheanalogmonitor.Connectthescaler
toanA/VReceiveroramplierusinganS/PDIFcableorananalogaudiostereopatchcord
withRCAconnectors.Connectthepowersupplytothescalerandtoanavailableelectrical
outlet.Poweronallconnectedcomponents.UsetheNTSC/PALswitchonthescalerto
selectthecorrectoutputformatforyourTV.SelectUnderscanorOverscanusingtheslide
switchonthescalertocompensateforscanningcharacteristicsofyouranalogTVthat
couldresultinover-croppingoftheimageorvisibleblackborders.
NOTE:HDCPencryptedHDMIsourcesarenotsupportedbythisdevice.IfHDCPcontent
isused,thentheoutgoingvideosignalwillresultinablackscreen.
