The GefenTV HDMI To Composite/S-Video Scaler
The new GefenTV HDMI to Composite Scaler lets you transform HDMI video of
resolutions from 480p to 1080p into Composite video or S-Video, properly sized
to view optimally on your display.
How It Works
Simply connect your HDMI video source to the HDMI input jack of the GefenTV
HDMI to Composite Scaler. Connect your Composite or S-Video display cable to
the correct video output jack on the Scaler’s rear panel. RCA-type analog audio
output jacks and Coaxial S/PDIF digital audio output jacks allow for the connec-
tion of an audio Receiver or other device to receive the audio signal embedded
in the HDMI signal. Power-cycle all connected components. You will then have
HDMI video playing on your Composite or S-Video display with simultaneous
audio out.
Note regarding 480i / 576i resolutions on the inputs:
The main purpose for the GTV-HDMI-2-COMPSVID is to downscale high defini-
tion digital video to standard definition NTSC / PAL analog signals.
The GTV-HDMI-2-COMPSVID does not accept input video resolutions of 480i
and 576i due to a limitation of the internal circuitry. A workaround is to connect
devices with these output resolutions directly to displays. Source devices operat-
ing at resolutions of 480i / 576i will almost always have analog outputs such as
Component, S-Video or Composite Video jacks.

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE HDMI TO COMPOSITE/S-VIDEO SCALER
• The HDMI To Composite/S-Video Scaler converts HDTV input resolutions of
480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p at 50/60 Hz to either NTSC 480i or PAL
576i.
• Supported PC input resolutions include 640x480@60Hz, 800x600@60Hz,
1024x768@60Hz, 1280x1024@60Hz, 1600x1200@60Hz, and
1920x1200@60Hz.
• The HDMI To Composite/S-Video Scaler will cross-convert between some
digital audio formats. Both the digital and analog audio outputs are active at
all times. The HDMI To Composite/S-Video Scaler will not, however, down-
mix multi-channel digital audio formats to 2 channel analog stereo. Please
see the chart on page 6 for more info.
• This device supports both NTSC and PAL video standards. This device
maintains the aspect ratio of the original signal.
• Please be sure to set the proper output format for your television. NTSC
60Hz is commonly used in the United States and Japan, while PAL 50Hz is
commonly used in European countries. Using the improper format will result
in a unrecognizable picture and may damage your TV set.
• The HDMI To Composite/S-Video Scaler is HDMI 1.2 Compliant.
• HDCP encrypted HDMI sources are not supported by this device. If a
connected HDMI source requires HDCP the outgoing video signal will result
in a black screen.
