Instruction Manual 3
Installation
WARNING: The default output signal from the video converter/scaler is 1024 x 768
(XGA) at 60 Hz. Not all display devices have the capability to display this resolution,
so it is advisable to consult the documentation for your display before attempting
installation. If your display does not support this resolution, you may not be able to
access the menu features through the on-screen display (OSD).
Hardware Installation
1. Make sure all devices and components are powered o.
2. Connect the VGA/Component video source into the “PC/HD IN” connector on the
video converter. If using a VGA source, then a standard male/male cable should
suce. If using a component source, use the included VGA to Component
breakout cable.
3. Plug the power adapter into the video converter. The Power LED should light
up steady.
4. Connect the “PC/HD Output” on the converter to the display device. If connecting
a display with VGA inputs, a standard male/male VGA cable should suce. If
connecting a display with component inputs, use the included VGA to Component
breakout cable.
5. Power on the display device.
6. Power on the video converter.
7. Power on the video source.
Driver Installation
No driver or software installation is required, as the video converter is an external
device, not visible to the video source or display device.

How to Use
On-Screen Display
The video converter/scaler has a built in On-Screen Display (OSD) that can be accessed
via the push buttons on the unit itself. The OSD allows for manual conguration of the
video converter/scaler. Press the “Menu” button to activate the OSD and the + and -
buttons to navigate the menu. Press the “Menu” button to conrm selections.
NOTE: The OSD will only activate if an active video source is connected to the video
converter/scaler. If a video source is not connected or not turned on, the OSD will not
be visible.
The OSD allows for adjustments to the output picture, such as brightness, contrast,
color and output resolution. These options should allow for an optimal video image to
be displayed on the display device.
If the wrong output resolution is selected, or incompatible with the type of display
device being used, the output resolution can be reset to either XGA or 480p modes
by pressing the “Menu” and + or “Menu” and - buttons simultaneously. XGA mode
should be used for any display device that would normally be connected directly to
a computer system (i.e. computer monitor), while 480p should be used for a display
device that would normally be connected to cable/satellite TV.
