1. Introduction
1.1 General
Thank you for purchasing Hall Research’s SC-VHD-HD. This unit can
convert and scale Component Video (YPbPr) or VGA video from PC along
with audio into an HDMI™ signal. The unit takes advantage of the HDMI™
signal's ability to embed audio with video. For convenience, both stereo
analog and optical digital audio inputs and outputs are provided.
The SC-VHD-HD has the ability to output a wide range of resolutions and
refresh rates regardless of the input timing and resolution. The output
resolution can automatically match the native resolution of the display
connected to its output (based on the EDID setting of the display), or it can
be specified by the user.
The video processor combines the functions of a video scaler, scan-
converter, and format transformer. The SC-VHD-HD also includes a
horizontal mirroring feature, which is useful for Teleprompters and rear
projection systems.
The unit encodes the audio input signal from TOSLink (Optical) or Analog
(L/R) to both digital and analog formats and outputs it on HDMI™ along with
video. For convenience, the unit features integrated mounting brackets.
The SC-VHD-HD features an OSD menu for configuration, picture setup,
system information and other advanced options.
1.2 Features
•HDMI™, HDCP,and DVI Compliant
•Any PC or HDTV video signal can be scaled up or down to any other
PC or HDTV resolution
•State-of-the-art video scaling for real-time frame rate capture &
conversion
•OSD adjustment of contrast, brightness, color, size, sampling clock,
phase, position, audio source and delay
•Horizontal mirroring (X-axis flip)
•Analog and digital (LPCM) audio inputs and outputs

3.3 Setting the Output Resolution
3.3.1 Obtaining an image on the screen
As shipped from the factory, or after a factory default reset, the unit output
resolution setting should be “NATIVE”. This means that upon power up the
device will read the EDID of your display and output a compatible resolution
resulting in a picture. However, if the output setting is not at “NATIVE”, or if
the unit cannot ascertain the EDID of the display, then you may not get a
picture and since most settings are done by means of an on-screen display
(OSD), it is necessary to get an image on the display first, before you can
navigate through the OSD menus.
For this purpose, you can use one of two preset button combinations to set a
resolution that your display supports. Two options are available (depending
on the display device):
1. If the display is HDTV compatible (with an HDMI connection); then a
resolution of 720p should result in an image.
2. If the display is PC compatible (DVI), then XGA (1024x768) should result
an image.
Once you have an image, you can call up the OSD menu to make further
changes as necessary.
Setting Resolution using Quick Select buttons
At any time, press the UP ARROW  and MENU buttons together to
directly set the output resolution to 1024x768 @ 60 Hz .
Press the MENU and DOWN ARROW  together to set the output
resolution to 720P @ 60 Hz.

3.3.2 Recalling Factory Defaults
Factory defaults may be recalled via (2) methods:
1. Press the MENU button to display the OSD. Using the  arrows
buttons, move to highlight the ‘FACTORY RESET’ option and press the
MENU button. The unit will reset all parameters to the factory defaults.
The output resolution will be set at ‘NATIVE’, which should result in a
picture being displayed. The actual resolution of the display monitor in
this mode is dependant on the monitor and not the SC-VHD-HD.
2. Press and hold the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW button
simultaneously for 3 seconds. This causes all parameters to revert to factory
defaults.
3.3.3 Setting the output resolution
Press the MENU button to open the OSD and use the arrow buttons ()to
select the OUTPUT option. Press the MENU button.
Use arrows to scroll thru the available resolutions listed. See Section 6 below
for a list of all available resolutions.
The default output resolution after a factory reset of the SC-VHD-HD is
“Native”.
If connected to an HDTV via HDMI input, then use the highest resolution your
display supports from among 480p, 720p50/60 or 1080i/p. If a DVI LCD is
used, you have a wide range of PC resolutions available (see section 6 for a
complete listing).
4. Troubleshooting
There are no field serviceable parts or circuits in the device. If you think the
device is malfunctioning (or you have no picture output), please try to use the
methods described in Section 3.3 to obtain a picture first.
4.1 Contacting Hall Research
If you determine that your SC-VHD-HD is malfunctioning, do not attempt to
repair the unit instead, contact Hall Research Technical Support at 714-641-
6607. To return the unit to Hall Research you must first get a Return
Authorization (RMA) number . Package the unit carefully, if returning. We
recommend that you use the original container
