INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the HDSDI to DVI Scaler. Your complete
satisfaction is very important to us.
Gefen
Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions
that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.
Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer
systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes
with hard-working solutions that are easy to implement and simple to operate.
The Gefen HDSDI to DVI Scaler
The HDSDI to DVI Scaler is the newest revision of our HD-SDI conversion line
incorporating SD/HD-SDI mode conversion scaled to DVI-D. Resolutions of up to
1080p are supported over the DVI 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 and Gamma Correction, Noise Reduc-
tion, Detail Enhancement, Aspect Ratio Selection, Pattern Generator Mode, and
Multiple Language Menu Support.
How It Works
HD-SDI devices are connected to the HD-SDI input and DVI devices are con-
nected to the DVI output. When the source, display and the Scaler are powered
and connected, video signals are converted to the proper format.

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE HDSDI TO DVI SCALER
• On power up, the HDSDI to DVI Scaler will automatically detect the input
format of the input. The unit is controlled using the included eight-button
remote.
• Pressing the OUTPUT button cycles the HDSDI to DVI Scaler through the
following output modes: 640x480 - 800x600 - 720p - 1080i
• Other functions and output modes can be accessed through the onscreen
menu.
• To Restore I/O settings, recycle the power on the Scaler.
• To bring up the on-screen menu, press the MENU button. Navigation is
done using the UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT and ENTER buttons.
• The SOURCE button selects the input source
Note: Both DIP switches under the remote battery cover must initially be in the
OFF position to communicate with the Scaler. For more information, please see
page 10 for RMT-8HDS-IR Installation instructions.
