the other end into an AC outlet. This is an auto-sensing universal input power supply and is compatible with
worldwide standards.
2.
Connect a video source to either the COMPOSITE, S-VIDEO or COMPONENT input on the rear panel using
one of the input cables supplied.
3.
Connect a computer monitor, projector or display to the VGA compatible connector on the rear panel.

Thank you for purchasing AC217A, the Intelligent Video Scaler designed especially for use with HDTV and DTV
displays. With AC217A, you now have the ability to enjoy high-resolution, film-like images from any standard video
source, including broadcast or cable TV ,video tape, DVD and laser disc. AC217A offers a unique automatic motion
compensation feature that will adapt to the specific type of input source image.
When processing NTSC sources, AC217A's motion compensation feature automatically selects one of three different
motion compensation techniques: adaptive frame (inverse 3:2 pulldown) for original film material, vertical temporal
and static mesh. (When processing PAL sources, inverse 3:2 pulldown is not applicable.) Because each technique is
set specifically for the type of input image, the result is the clearest, crispest picture quality possible, making AC217A
ideal for Home Theater and Professional A/V applications. Packed with other great features such as three different
aspect ratio conversions, AC217A is one incredibly versatile scaler. Additional features include Composite, S-Video
and Y-C
