HD-SDI to DVI PLUS Scaler Box
Combines SDI and DVI Equipment for Maximum Interoperability
The HDSDI to DVI PLUS Scaler is the newest revision of our HDSDI conversion line incorporating
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: Genlock, Color & Gamma Correction, Noise Reduction, Detail Enhancement, Aspect Ratio
Selection, Pattern Generator Mode, & Multiple Language Menu Support. Bottom Line? -- More
performance, less cost.
SDI
SDI (serial digital interface), used primarily in broadcasting, converts and transmits digital video
through SDI connectors. It enables video sources to process high definition, high quality video.
How It Works
HD-SDI devices are connected to the HD-SDI input and DVI devices are connected to the DVI
output. When the source, display and the Scaler are powered and connected, video signals are
converted to the proper format

RMT-8HDS-IR INSTALLATION
6
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)
To bring up the onscreen menu, press the MENU button. Navigation is done using the
UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT and ENTER buttons.
The SOURCE button selects the input source (Input 1 or Input 2)
*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 7 for
RMT-8HDS-IR Installation instructions.

7
RMT-8HDS-IR INSTALLATION
Remove battery cover from the back of the RMT-8HDS-IR remote.
Verify that dip switches 1 & 2 are in the down (OFF) position.
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.
Test the RMT-8HDS-IR remote by pressing ONLY one button at a time. The
indicator 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
