Initial Set-Up
Once you have installed the DreamScaler3 into your system, you must properly configure it for the display device
being driven. The DreamScaler3 is shipped from the factory with the following preset default settings:
•
Input Select is set to AUTO, to automatically detect an active input in a pre-configured priority.
•
The Digital Video output is selected with RGB 4:4:4 color space
•
The output format is set to SMPTE 274M, 1080p@50Hz or 1080p@60Hz according to the active source refresh
rate.
Use either the remote control or the front panel controls to perform the initial setup of the DreamScaler3's output.
The procedure below uses the front panel buttons to perform initial setup.
Accessing the DreamScaler3’s OSD is crucial, not only in allowing you to navigate the menu of the DreamScaler3,
but also to let you know that the DreamScaler3 is sending a compatible signal to the display. If the OSD is not visible
on the display’s screen when you press one of the sub-menu buttons on the remote control, then you must
configure the DreamScaler3 with the Output Setup menu to output a signal that the display can accept.
Use these steps to allow you to see the OSD.
STEP 1 - Power Up
1) Attach the removable power cord to the external power supply.
2) Plug the removable power cord into a wall outlet or power conditioner, if applicable.
3) Plug the small connector attached to the cable that comes out of the power supply into the DreamScaler3.
The DreamScaler3 should power on and display ‘DreamVision Powered by ABT’ on the FPD.
STEP 2 - Connect the scaler to your display
