The Gefen TV HDMI To Composite/S-Video Scaler
The new GefenTV HDMI to Composite Scaler lets you transform HDMI video
of any resolution from 480i 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.
INTRODUCTION

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE HDMI TO COMPOSITE/S-VIDEO SCALER
HDMI To Composite/S-Video Scaler converts 480i/p, 576i/p, 720p, 1080i/p to•
either NTSC 480i or PAL 576i.
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.
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.
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.
