INTRODUCTION
Thanks for purchasing this AV Toolbox CSC-1600HD Video Scaler. Our professional
video conversion products have been serving the industry for many years. In addition to
Video Scalers, Av Toolbox and our parent company, TV One, offers a full line of high
quality Scan Converters, Genlock Adatpers, Standards Converters, DV-to-Analog
Converters, Digital Video Recorders, Time Base Correctors, LCD Monitors and
Distribution Amplifiers.
The CSC-1600HD converts Composite Video, S-Video and YCbCr Component Video
signals to a variety of computer and HDTV resolutions. The unit accommodates most
worldwide NTSC, PAL and SECAM TV standards and has many features to enhance
performance. AFM (Adaptive Film Mode) is an automatic 3:2 pull-down detector that
provides clear and crisp de-interlacing video from 24 frames-per-second film. This offers
significant enhancements when viewing movies on a large screen. VT (Vertical Temporal
Filter) can remove jagged edges and other de-interlacing artifacts for video motion
sequences. Our Static Picture Detector uses a simple field merging technique to perform
de-interlacing and it is very beneficial for static images or scenes with very little or no
motion. The CSC-1600HD employs a high quality Comb Filter Decoder for maximum
picture quality.

Getting the Best Results
There are many factors affecting the quality of results when Composite, YCbCr or S-Video
signals are up-converted to computer or HDTV resolutions. 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. For instance, some video projectors just
look better than others.
•
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 – Such devices 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.
