definition or high definition component and HDMI sources to resolutions up to 1080p.
Anything from set-top boxes, DVD players to the next generation of gaming consoles
including the Xbox 360 and PS3 can be plugged into the Home Theater Scaler.
The Home Theater Scaler Plus supports one component source with analog audio, one
composite or S-video source with analog audio, and two HDMI sources with digital audio.
TheanalogaudiofromtheanalogsourcesisdigitizedandoutputtedtotheHDMIconnection
as well as the digital audio outs. The HDMI inputs also have separate digital audio inputs,
so you can use DVI sources and separate digital audio and the Home Theater Scaler Plus
will embed the digital audio into the HDMI output as well as the digital audio outs.
Easy to use on-screen menus accessible through the IR remote control allow for
effortless setup and image adjustment to accommodate different viewing modes and
screen sizes.
Note: The switching is done by using the the RMT-SR-IR remote control. Any HDTV with
DVI inputs can be connected to the HDMI output of the Home Theater Scaler by using a
HDMI to DVI adapter, if the cable being used is DVI.
