®
Display Device Connection
1 Preparation: Make sure your display device has either digital HDMI
or analog VGA(DB15) terminals. Prepare the corresponding cable for
connection (use high quality cables for an optimum quality).
2 Connection: Ensure your display device(s) are powered OFF;
connect Plasma Enhancer®to your display device(s) with appropriate
terminals and cables.
3 Verification: Switch ON both of your Plasma Enhancer®and display
device(s); set the display device(s) to show the video channel that the
Plasma Enhancer®is connected. Ensure the On-Screen Display
(OSD) menu of your Plasma Enhancer®is displayed properly.
For best result, select the digital connection (HDMI) of your display device(s)
when both digital (HDMI) and analog (VGA) terminals are available. Generally,
digital terminal provides better processing and less interference over short/long
distance while the analog terminal cannot offer such result.
Decide which output terminal to
use for your display device(s):
(Best quality first)
1 HDMI (HDCP, video only; a direct
digital connection from Plasma
Enhancer to the display device)
2 Analog video out via DB15
connector – The DB15 analog output
can also be used as component
(YPbPr) video outputs

AV Device Connection
Plasma Enhancer comprises a comprehensive set of input terminals that allow
you to connect to a wide range of audio video devices.
®
Follow the below steps to install:
1 Preparation: List all AV devices that you wish to connect to Plasma
Enhancer®for outputting processed video.
2 Allocation: Decide which input terminals of your Plasma Enhancer®
to use for your AV device(s), and set aside high quality terminals to
this source(s) (e.g. DVD player with SDI output should be connected
to SDI terminal). Make sure all required cables are available.
3 Connection: Ensure all devices are powered OFF; connect the AV
device(s) to your Plasma Enhancer®with the appropriate terminals
and cables.
4 Setup: Switch ON your Plasma Enhancer®, AV device(s) and display
device(s). Set up your Plasma Enhancer® according to the next
section, Basic System Setup.
Decide which video inputs to
use for your AV device(s): (Best
quality first)
1 Serial Digital Interface (SDI) input x
1 (Standard)
2 HDMI (HDCP, video only) inputs x2
for HDTV passthrough
3 HDTV analog input via VGA (DB15
connector) x 1
4 AV1: Component x 1, S-Video x 1,
Composite x 1 with stereo audio x 1
5 AV2: SCART input x 1 (configurable
as RGBS, Component, or S-Video or
Composite) with stereo audio x 1
6 AV3 on front panel: S-Video x 1,
Composite x 1 with stereo audio x 1
Tips: It is recommended that you
choose the interlaced output from
your AV devices, instead of
progressive (e.g. 480i instead of
480p). This leaves the conversion
from interlaced video to
progressive video to be performed
by Plasma Enhancer®, which has
sophisticated processing
dedicated to this task.

Pixel Magic System™
Pixel Magic System is a set of tools for users to configure the video output of
Plasma Enhancer, ensuring that it is mapped to digital output devices in Pixel
Perfect mode / 1:1 pixel mapping. Typically, a video processor cannot ensure it
can map to digital displays pixel by pixel to produce crystal clear image even if
it can output the native resolution of the display device. This is because
whether pixel clock and phase are perfectly matched or not can hardly be
verified.
