INSTALLATION

Unpacking

Remove the NRS-DVI unit from the shipping
container and examine it for any signs of shipping
damage or missing items (check inventory list below).
All shipping materials should be saved if the unit is to
be moved or returned for service.  Shipping unit back
to Faroudja for service not in the original box may
result in voiding warranty.

Placement 

The processor can be either placed on a table or rack
mounted. A rack mounting installation kit is available.
Securely mount the side rack brackets with the
screws that are provided with the kit.

Ventilation 

The unit uses convection to cool.  A fan is not
needed. As hot air raises out of the side vent, cool air
is drawn in from the bottom.  

These vents must not

be blocked

.  When rack mounted, a minimum of

1.75” (1 rack unit height) of free space is required
above and below the unit to allow for proper cooling.
A forced air fan should be added to the rack
installation if power amps are located in the same air
space.  Do not install unit above power amps.

Connections 

Because of the high performance of the NRS-DVI unit
it is very important to use the highest quality cables
possible, for both input and output signals.

To avoid AC ground loop problems, the source
equipment, NRS-DVI unit and projector should all be
running on the same grounded AC power line (one
rated for the power requirements).

1.

S-Video input (4-pin DIN) for sources such as
DVDs, Satellite systems,  S-VHS tape decks
(when using S-VHS tapes only), Hi-8 tape
decks.

2.

Composite video input (BNC) for sources such
as Laserdisc players, cable TV, VHS tape
decks,  8mm tape decks.

3.

Interlaced or Progressive Component (YPrPb)
or RGBs video input (BNC) for sources such
as DVDs or high resolution YPrPb sources
from HDTV satellites.  Input auto-detects input
type: 480i or 480p sources are sent to the
internal processor, higher scan rate
progressive sources such as from HDTV
tuners or computers are routed to the Pass-
Through. If transcode is selected in the Setup
menu, the YPrPb HDTV signal will be
transcoded to RGB.

Note on DVDs: 

For proper aspect ratio and to

insure the highest quality image from the DVD
player,  be sure to set the DVD screen shape
to 16:9 in the DVD player's Setup menu. See
the DVD player's owner's manual for details.

4.

High scan rate input (D15M) for sources such
as HDTV signals or computers are passed
through to the projector.  The signal is sent to
the outputs in the same format as the input
unless Transcoding is selected. YPrPb from
HDTV sources can be transcoded to RGBHV,
as well.  Use a BNC to D15 breakout cable if
necessary. The Green, Red, Blue BNCs are
used for YPrPb.
