a limitation of the Scaler but rather a limitation brought about by the Laws of
Physics.
But where there are no physical limitations and the Scaler has been set up
correctly, simultaneous outputs appear at the various output connectors when a
particular input is selected. This capability frees the user from the need to plug
and unplug cables when moving from one format or type of signal to another and
allows multiple format signal outputs that can be distributed without the need for
downstream converters.
With the mention of cables above, it’s a good time to stress that the accessory
cables furnished with the Universal Scaler are of high quality. The user is
cautioned that the input and output signals can be severely degraded by using
poor quality cables. Always check the specifications of cables to make certain the
impedance, bandwidth, signal loss characteristics, shielding characteristics, etc.
are all appropriate before purchasing new cables. Verify that each of these
specifications are acceptable plus check the physical condition and soundness of
connector attachment before using any cables currently present at your location.
The TV One Z-Plus series of cable products are ideal for use with the Universal
Scaler and either the Z-Plus cables or a competitive product that meets the same
specifications must be used if full Scaler performance is to be realized.

OVERVIEW OF CONTROL CHOICES
The Front panel controls consist of the LCD Display, the Menu Select knob, the
Input Select Buttons and the Standby/Operate Switch. Hidden between the
Standby switch and the tenth input button is an Infrared sensor that provides
Scaler control via a handheld IR remote control. These controls provide full
control over both the operational and System aspects of the unit.
A second method of controlling the Scaler is the control software, downloadable
at
http://tvone.crmdesk.com
. Installation and operation of the software will be
covered in detail a bit later in this manual.
The third method of control is via the Ethernet connector. The Universal Scaler is
IP enabled meaning you can assign an IP address to the unit and control it over
your Wide Area Network of even the Internet if you wish to do so.

Operation via the Front Panel Controls
Although the two other methods of control provide powerful ways to manipulate
and adjust the Universal Scaler, the Front Panel controls normally are the first
ones explored by the user. Multiple Sub menus result from a practice that
programmers call ‘drilling down’ because you are going deeper and deeper into
the menu structure––and getting progressively more and more lost. We chose
not to use this approach with the Universal Scaler.
