Serial Cable for Software Updates and Automation (1:1)
The DreamScaler3 uses BNC-style analog connectors and a HDMI digital connector to provide video output
signals. You must purchase an output cable to connect to one of these outputs to your display. Different displays
have different input connectors, so check your display specifications to ensure compatibility.
Both input and output cables can be supplied by your Authorized DreamVision Reseller. To find your nearest
Authorized DreamVision Reseller, go to www.dreamvision.net.

Display Compatibility Requirements
DreamScaler3 video processing product is compatible with a wide range of displays. These include digital TVs,
projectors, and flat panel displays, as well as other emerging technologies that can support 480p or higher
resolution video signals.
To determine if your display is compatible with the DreamScaler3, look to see if it has one of the inputs listed below.
If not, then your display is probably limited to receive a standard NTSC, PAL or SECAM interlaced signal and will not
function correctly with the DreamScaler3.
Component video inputs that are not capable of accepting a 480p signal should be labeled ‘480i (NTSC) or ‘576i’
(PAL/SECAM).
The following types of displays should be compatible with the DreamScaler3 since it can support higher resolution
signals:
•
Plasma displays
•
LCD-based flat panel and front & rear projection displays
•
DLP-based front & rear projection displays
•
D-ILA™-based front & rear projection displays (SXRD™ included)
