1. Introduction
1.1 General
The SC-1080D is a member of Hall Research’s powerful video processor and
scaling product line. It combines the functions of many products in one compact
and versatile unit. It has both high definition analog as well as digital inputs.
Two outputs are available (simultaneously active†), one analog (RGBHV), and
one digital DVI-D (HDMI™ compatible).

The user can select the desired input using individual buttons on the front panel,
on the included IR-remote, or by issuing ASCII RS232 commands.
The output resolution can range between 480i to 1080p for HDTV or VGA
(640x480) to WUXGA (1920x1200) for the PC. The unit uses the latest high-
resolution video scaling techniques to produce a superior video output for a crisp
image on the output display. Both video outputs can also be mirrored
horizontally making it ideal for teleprompting and rear projection systems where
the image needs to be flipped.
The desired output resolution is set directly using individual buttons on the IR
remote, or via unique ASCII RS232 commands. The front panel can also be
used to set the output resolution. A user-friendly on-screen-display (OSD) is
used to control the operation of the device from the front panel. There are also
‘hot-key’ combinations on the front panel to directly set the output to basic PC
or HDTV resolutions so that a picture can be displayed on any LCD.
†
For HDMI™ compliance, when the DVI input is selected, and HDCP content protection is
detected on the signal, the HD15 analog output is blanked. The front panel input LED will
blink when this condition is detected. The Digital DVI output will be active when connected to
a HDCP compliant LCD (such as a display with HDMI™ input).
