INTRODUCTION
Gefen's HDSDI to DVI Scaler is the newest revision of our HDSDI conversion line in-
corporating SD/HDSDI Single or Dual link mode conversion scaled to Full Single link
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 & Gamma Correction, Noise
Reduction, Detail Enhancement, Aspect Ratio Selection, Pattern Generator Mode, &
Multiple Language Menu Support. Bottom Line? -- More performance, less cost.

On power up, the HD-SDI to DVI Scaler will automatically detect the input format of the
input. The unit is controlled using the included 8 button remote.
Pressing the OUTPUT button cycles the HD-SDI 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, simply recycle power on the Scaler)

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.
The following are the dip switch combinations that correspond to the Remote Code
menu option on the HD-SDI to DVI Scaler (Please see Menu Functions section for more
