Home Theater Scaler PLUS
Scaling and switching solution for Svideo, Composite, Component and
HDMI sources
The Gefen Home Theater Scaler Plus allows you to upscale and switch your standard definition or
high definition Component, Composite, S-Video, 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. The analog audio
from the analog sources is digitized and outputted to the HDMI connection as well as the digital
audio outs. The HDMI inputs also have separate digital audio inputs, so you can combine DVI
sources-using a DVI to HDMI cable-and separate digital audio signals together. The Home Theater
Scaler Plus will embed the separate video and audio signals together into the HDMI output.
Easy to use on-screen menus accessible through the IR remote control allow for effortless setup

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Home Theater Scaler.
The Home Theater Scaler Plus supports two component sources with analog audio and two
HDMI sources with digital audio. The analog audio from the component input is digitized
and outputted to the HDMI connection 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. The Home Theater Scaler will embed the digital audio into the HDMI output as well
as the digital audio outs.
The Gefen Home Theater Scaler Plus allows you to upscale and switch your standard
denition or high denition component 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 HD Mate Scaler.
Note: The switching is done by using 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.

OPERATION NOTES
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING
OR OPERATING THE HOME THEATER SCALER PLUS
• When powering the sources, the display needs to point to the source input.
• The Home Theater Scaler PLUS works with all DVI and HDMI displays.
• The Home Theater Scaler PLUS is fully HDCP compliant.
• The Home Theater Scaler PLUS has a 15-foot limit on how far it can transmit the HDCP
(copyright protection) codes out of the HDMI output jack to the display. Connections to
displays at distances longer than 15 feet should use a true HDCP-boosting (repeating)
solution such as our CAT5-based HDMI signal extender devices (Gefen part number
EXT-HDMI-CAT5X). A simple add-on booster attached to the HDMI output cable will not
prevent signal loss.
