Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com video scaler. This device is designed to convert the
output from a video source (DVD, video game console, VCR) and scale it for output to high-
definition displays--including plasma TVs and LCD monitors--while maintaining the clarity of
the image.
Features
•
Get the most out of your existing video equipment by maximizing its performance on a
high-definition display.
•
•
•
Easy to use interface gets you up and running in minutes.
Supports common video input standards, including NTSC and PAL.
Adaptive digital comb filter, high-speed algorithms, and vertical temporal filter combine to
provide crystal-clear output with virtually no de-interlacing artifacts.
•
Choose between two models depending on your display: VGA (VID2VGATV) or
DVI (VID2DVIDTV).

Site Preparation
Ensure you have the necessary cables to connect your video source (such as a DVD player) to the
video scaler. Note that if you have previously used the device with a standard television, you can
most likely use those cables to connect the item to the video scaler. The video scaler should be
in close proximity to the video source and be connected using high-quality cables for the best
possible results.

Connecting Devices to the Video Scaler
Rear Panel (VID2VGATV)
Front Panel (VID2VGATV)
Rear Panel (VID2DVIDTV)
Front Panel (VID2DVIDTV)
1. Disconnect your high-resolution display from its existing video connection.
2. Disconnect your video source (i.e. DVD player) from its existing video connection.
3. Place the video scaler near the video source and connect the power adapter to a suitable wall
outlet. Connect the opposite end to the DC 5V connector on the rear of the video scaler.
4. Connect the cable you used to connect your video source to its previous video display
(usually labeled as VIDEO OUT, or similar) as removed in step 2 to the YCbCr IN, SV IN, or CV IN
connector on the rear of the video scaler as appropriate. The connector you use will depend
on the type of cable the video source uses. If your device uses a YCbCr cable, you will need to
use the provided adapter to convert the connectors to the 8-pin DIN connector on the YCbCr
IN port on the video scaler.
If you are using the VGA model (VID2VGATV):
5. Using the provided HD-15 male/male VGA cable, connect one end to the PC/HD OUTPUT
port on the front panel of the video scaler.
6. Connect the opposite end of the VGA cable to the VIDEO IN (or similar) connector that you
removed in step 1.
If you are using the DVI model (VID2DVIDTV):
7. Using the provided DVI-D male/male cable, connect one end to the DVI OUT port on the front
panel of the video scaler.
8. Connect the opposite end of the DVI cable to the VIDEO IN (or similar) connector that you
removed in step 1.

Using the Menu Options
The video scaler uses an intuitive on-screen display (OSD) system that allows you to fine-tune the
video output to the display you are using.
Selecting a video source
By default, the video scaler selects an output setting of XGA (1024 x 768 pixels, 60 Hz). While this
setting should display an image on most computer monitors, high-definition televisions often
support a different set of resolutions. The video scaler automatically detects and adjusts to NTSC
(North America) or PAL (Europe and elsewhere) inputs For easy setup, the video scaler supports a
combination-key setting that can allow you set the unit to a widely-supported output resolution
so that the OSD will be visible on your display:
For computer monitors: Press + and - at the same time to force the unit to XGA.
For HD televisions: Press MENU and - at the same time to force the unit to 480p.
1. After you have connected the video source and display to the video scaler using the
directions in the previous section, power on both the device and the display.
2. The display should show a bright-blue screen. Be sure that the video source is sending a
video signal to the video scaler (i.e. for a DVD player, insert a disc) for testing purposes.
3. Press the INPUT button on the front of the video scaler. The on-screen display (OSD) will
show which connection is active in the upper righthand corner of the screen. Press INPUT
repeatedly until the OSD matches the input you are using on the rear panel of the video
scaler. This is the correlation between menu settings and input connectors:
YCbCr: YCbCr IN
RBgS: YCbCr IN
S-Video: SV IN
Composite: CV IN
NOTE: RBgS is a type of composite video that carries a specific signal on the green channel.
Consult the documentation of the video source to determine if you need to use this option.
4. Once the correct signal source is selected, the device will display the image source on the
screen. Depending on the requirements of the high-definition display, you may need to
adjust the output settings on the video scaler for best image quality. See the instructions
below for more information.

Using the menu system
The video scaler automatically interprets the input resolution and scales it to the output
resolution selected in the menu system. While the default settings will provide an image, the
video scaler offers several settings that will allow you to adjust the output signal for the best
possible result.
NOTE: Changing the settings below may cause the signal to become unusable if the settings you
select are incompatible with your display. Should this occur, repeat the steps you followed under
“Selecting a video source”to reset the video scaler back to a compatible setting.
To activate the menu system, press the MENU key on the front of the video scaler once. The OSD
will display the available option on the lefthand side of the screen. To navigate the menu system:
1. Use the + and - keys on the front of the video scaler to movebetween options.
2. Use the MENU key to select an item to adjust or display a sub-menu.
3. Once an item is selected, use the + and - keys to adjust the setting.
4. When you are satisfied with your changes, press MENU to activate the setting.
5. You can continue to adjust other settings, or select Exit from the OSD menus until the OSD
disappears.
The following options can be adjusted from the OSD menu system:

NOTE: The System Information OSD menu does not allow you to modify any settings and shows
the current state of the video scaler settings.
NOTE: The Timing option under the Display menu allows you to adjust the output resolution and
frequency of the video scaler. You should exercise caution in adjusting this setting, since a setting
that exceeds the capabilities of your display could cause damage in some situations. Consult the
documentation for your display to determine if the setting you wish to use is supported.
Troubleshooting
Problem: I can’t see an image from the video source or the OSD.
Cause: The input setting or output timing (resolution and refresh rate) is incorrect.
Resolution:
a) Adjust the settings back to the default setting for your display type (see page 4) and reselect
the input type as necessary.
b) Ensure all cables are securely connected in the proper connectors.
Problem: The image is distorted or blurry.
Cause: The output timing settings/image quality settings are not optimized, or there is
interference degrading the cable signal.
Resolution:
a) Adjust the timing settings and image settings using the menu system to improve image
quality and ensure the video source is working normally.
b) Use the shortest cable length possible, and ensure that they are of a high quality. Heavily-
shielded cables with gold-plated connectors offer superior performance and signal protection.
Do not use converters or extension cables unless they were supplied with the video scaler.
