1.0 INTRODUCTION
Thanks for purchasing this 1T-VS-647 SDI to HDMI Scaler with Audio from TV One.
The 1T-VS-647 SDI to HDMI Scaler converts a variety of SDI transmission rates and
video resolutions into an HDMI signal. It also provides audio flexibility by outputting the
audio embedded in the SDI signal to external connectors (both analog and digital
formats) for distribution separate from the HDMI data stream. Additional capabilities
include SDI loop-thru with equalization and reclocking which means the 1T-VS-647 SDI
to HDMI Scaler doubles as an SDI repeater. Finally, as part of the SDIto HDMI scaling
process, SDI timing is automatically converted to PC timing parameters. Our
professional video conversion products have been serving the industry for over twenty
years. TV One offers a full line of high quality Seamless Switchers, VideoScalers,
Up/Down/Cross Converters, Analog-Digital Converters (SD/HD-SDI, HDMI, DVI),
Format Converters, Standards Converters, TBC/Frame Synchronizers, Matrix Routing
Switchers, Signal Distribution Amplifiers and Cat.5 Transmission Systems.

3.0 CHECKINGPACKAGE CONTENTS
Before attempting to use this unit, please check the packaging and make certain the
following items are contained in the shipping carton:
1x 1T-VS-647 SDI to HDMI Scaler w/Audio
1x AC Power Adapter
1x Operations Manual
Note: Please retain the original packing material should the need ever arise to return
the unit. If you find any items are missing, contact your reseller or TV One immediately.
Have the Model Number, Serial Number and Invoice available for reference when you
call.
4.0 CONNECTING THE HARDWARE
Please study the panel drawings below and become familiar with the signal inputs,
outputs, operational controls and the location of the power connector. Turn off the SDI
source and the HDMI Display and connect the appropriate SDI, HDMI and audio cables;
first between the source and the 1T-VS-647 and then between the 1T-VS-647 and the
display. Plug in the provided AC adapter, first to the 1T-VS-647 and then to an active
AC power source. Lastly, turn on the SDI source and display device. (The 1T-VS-647
has no power switch and will begin to function as soon as it has the AC adapter
connected to it.)

Note: By default, the 1T-VS-647 will have an output resolution that matches the native
resolution of the connected displaydevice. The resolution that is output by the scaler
can be changed via the On Screen Display menu however, it’s very important that you
determine beforehand if the display deviceis capable of accepting the output resolution.
Failure to do so can result in no imageon the displaydevice –a situation that is difficult
to recover from since you would not be able to see the OSD display.
5.0 OPERATING THE UNIT
The front panel of the 1T-VS-647 has four LEDs and four push buttons that are used to
indicate status or to allow user interaction with the device. From left to right, the Power
LED will illuminate anytime the device is receiving power from the included AC adapter.
Next, the 3G, HD or SD LEDs will be illuminated to indicate what type of SDI signal is
present as the device’s source signal. (If none of the three SDI status LEDs are
illuminated, a source signal is either missing or is not a suitable signal.)
The four push buttons are used to access the menu structure for making operational
parameter changes as explained in the OSD menu discussion below. Other than these
displays and push buttons, there are no status observations or user adjustments
involved with using the 1T-VS-647 SDIto HDMI Scaler with Audio.
Please note that the SDI input is configured as a Loop-Thru system. The input signal is
automatically equalized to a unity frequency response and signal level and is also
reclocked which allows the 1T-VS-647 to function both as a SDI to HDMI scaler and
also as an SDI repeater. Please consult the specification section above to determine
the cable distance offered for each of the three supported SDI signal types.

5.1 On Screen Display (OSD) Structure
The 1T-VS-647 is controlled via an On Screen Display (OSD) menu structure. Much of
the operation of the scaler is done automatically (Plug & Play), however there may be
an occasion where an adjustment is desired. Numerous parameters can be controlled
from the menu including adjustment of output resolutions, type of audio output, etc.
Note: Pressing the Menu button enters the OSD structure and also exits the structure
when you are finished with your selections.
The menu structure is grouped into a three tier arrangement. When you press the Menu
button for the first time, you will display the top tier which is where you select the basic
parameters. From Left to Right, the icons represent the following basic parameters:
Display Setup, Color Adjustments, SDI Audio Group, Factory Reset and Device
Information. (Display Setup is shown selected in the example below.)
Use the + and –buttons to move horizontally across the first tier selections until you
arrive at the one associated with the parameters you wish to adjust and then press the
Enter button to select that parameter.
If there is only one item in the second tier associated with the parameter where you are
working, you can use the + and –buttons to directly make an adjustment or selection
without selecting an item from the third tier. Press the Enter button to save the selection.
If there is more than one second tier item associated with the parameter, use the + and
–buttons to move to the item you wish to work with and press the Enter button to select
that item. Use the + and –buttons to make the adjustment or selection, and once the
adjustment or selection is made, press the Enter button to save your change.
When the adjustment or selection has been made and saved, use the Menu button to
exit the OSD. (From within the second tier, you can select the Exit function from the list
to return to the first tier if it’s offered.)

Note: Press the Enter and the –button together to immediately select 720p output
timing and press Enter and the + button together to immediately select XGA output
timing. These are the two most commonly used scaler parameters.
Note 2: After making a resolution change you will have 15 seconds to confirm the newly
selected resolution by pressing the “ENTER” button. If the new resolution is not
confirmed then the output will revert to the original resolution.

6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
Faulty cables are the most common problem associated with the 1T-VS-647. Make
certain you are using the highest quality cables available. In the event of trouble with the
unit, inspect the cables for damage and make sure they are completely seated in their
connectors. Also make certain that the AC adapter is plugged in to a working AC
socket and that the Power LED is illuminated.
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:
