1.3 Getting the Best Results
There are many factors affecting the quality of results when scaling video signals.
Some basic precautions will ensure the best possible performance from your
Video Scaler.
Output display device – The quality of the output signal will depend
largely upon the type and quality of display device used.
Using Native Resolution – It is always best to set the output
resolution of the scaler to the native resolution and refresh rate of the
display device. This allows our scaler to do most of the work, which
usually results in a superior picture.
Distance between the Video Scaler and the display device – This
plays a major role in the final result. Long distances are possible, but
special measures should be taken in order to avoid cable losses.
These include using high quality (coax-type) cables or adding line
amplifiers.
Output connection cables – Low quality cables are susceptible to
interference. They degrade signal quality due to poor matching and
cause elevated noise levels. Therefore, cables should be of the best
quality. Coax-type computer cables are recommended because of
their superior internal shielding characteristics.
Interference from nearby electrical devices – These can have an
adverse effect on signal quality. For example, an older computer
monitor often emits very high electromagnetic fields that can interfere
with the performance of video equipment in its proximity.

reference when you call.
4.0 CONNECTING THE HARDWARE
The first step is to connect a video source to the input of the 1T-VS-434 and to
connect its output to a display device. Below is a drawing of the unit.
4.1 Connecting the Input
The 1T-VS-434 PC/HD Cross Converter can accept RGBHV or YPbPr
Component inputs. The Scaler will automatically detect the input signal
resolution and format. Verify that the input source is working properly and then
connect the input cable to the source and then to the 1T-VS-434,
4.2 Connecting the Output
The 1T-VS-434 PC/HD Cross Converter can output either RGBHV or YPbPr
formats. Verify that the display device is working properly and then connect the
output cable to the 1T-VS-434 and then to the display.
4.3 Connecting Power to the Unit
The 1T-VS-434 is shipped with a Power Adapter to convert 115VAC-
240VAC@50-60Hz to 5VDC. Connect the DC Output from the Power Adapter to
the back of the unit and then plug the Power Adapter into an AC Receptacle.
When the unitis receiving power, the power LED indicator will illuminate.

5.0 OPERATING THE UNIT
The 1T-VS-434 is controlled via three buttons. Status is indicated via an On
Screen Display (OSD).
Menu Button: This Button displays the Menu Options via the On Screen Display
on the display device connected to the output.
+ and - Buttons: These Buttons allow navigation within the Menu and
adjustments of the parameters.
XGA Reset: Simultaneously depressing the Menu and + buttons sets the output
to XGA.
480p Reset: Simultaneously depressing the MENU and - buttons returns sets the
output to 480p.
If you are going to be using the RGBHV output, perform the XGA reset to
establish a starting point to fine tune the output resolution. If you are going to use
the YPbPr output, perform the 480P reset to establish a starting point to fine tune
the resolution. Once you have a picture, you can use the OSD to set the final
resolution.
5.1 Menu Structure
The 1T-VS-434 provides an extensive On Screen Display (OSD) user interface
which allows customization of the operating parameters used by the unit.
Press the Menu button to cause the OSD to be displayed on your monitor. Next,
use + and – Buttons to choose the parameter you want to adjust and then press
the Menu (Enter) to highlight your selection. Once a parameter is highlighted,
use + and - Buttons to increase or decrease the value of the setting. Press Menu
again to leave the setting. Move the arrow to Exit and press Menu/Enter to Exit.
Note: The user is cautioned to make certain that the display being used is
capable of displaying the resolution selected. Failure to make certain that the
display has the desired capability can result in a total loss of any video on the
display. Should this happen, use either the XGA or 480P reset function explained
above as appropriate.

type selected is correct for the type of display being used at the output. After
trying the above suggestions should the problem still persist, contact your dealer
for additional suggestions before contacting TV One. Should the dealer’s
technical personnel be unable to assist you, contact TV One via our support
website: http://tvone.crmdesk.com. Create a technical support request on the
site and our support team will respond within a short period of time.
