Multi-format PC/HD Video Scaler
Y Pb Pr:
This is also known as Component Video input (analog) and on some
equipment it may be labeled as YCbCr. Since this input supports all interlace
and progressive resolutions from 480i to 1080p, you can connect it to both
legacy and new equipment alike as long as it has component video output. For a
list of supported resolutions, please see Specifications Section titled “Supported
Input Formats” found later in this manual. For example; if you are using the DVI
output of the scaler to connect to the HDMI input of an HDTV, you could use
the YPbPr input to connect your legacy DVD player, or PlayStation™
equipment to your HDTV.
VGA:
This is the analog RGBHV signal from a PC. A wide range of resolutions
from VGA to WUXGA is supported. For a list of supported resolutions, please
see Specifications Section titled “Supported Input Formats” found later in this
manual. This input provides a convenient way to display your PC’s video
without losing clarity on any TV or HDTV as long as the TV has either HDMI™
or component inputs. Since the SC-1080D uses state of the art video scaling,
often you will achieve a sharper image on your LCD even if it has a VGA input!
DVI:
This is the digital input to the Scaler. You can connect to the DVI-D or
DVI-I outputs of any PC. The DVI input of the unit supports HDCP encryption.
This means that it is compatible with Content Protected HDMI™ video sources.
However, the audio of HDMI source is not processed through and you should
configure and use the separate audio output of your HDMI™ source. The DVI
input of the scaler can handle most HDTV and PC resolutions. For a list, please
see Specifications Section titled “Supported Input Formats” found later in this
manual.
Note about DVI input Cable
If you will be connecting to an HDMI™ source you will either need an
HDMI to DVI cable or an HDMI to DVI adapter.
If you will be connecting to a DVI source you will then need a male
to male DVI cable. DVI-D cables will work since they do not have the
extra pins that DVI-I cables have, but since the SC-1080D utilizes a
connector with all the pin positions you could use a DVI-I cable as
long as your source also has all the pin positions.
