These instructions assume that the display has at least one available input that uses a

DVI-I video signal, and that all the devices have their cables attached. You may need to

disconnect an existing device from the display to make an input available and re-connect

that device using the video scaler.

Connecting Devices to the Scaler

1. Place the scaler near the display and the devices you wish to use with the scaler.

2. Connect the input device (i.e. a DVD player) to the connector labeled DVI Input on the

back of the video scaler converter.

3. Connect the scaler to your display device, using the port marked DVI OUTPUT on the

front of the scaler. If you require a VGA resolution output, use a DVI to VGA adapter

and VGA to VGA cable to make this connection (see Accessory

Products available from StarTech.com).

4. Connect the power adapter (provided) to the port marked DC 5V on the back of the

video scaler. Connect the opposite end to a wall outlet or other suitable power source.

The red light located next to the DC 5V output will illuminate once the scaler is

powered.

5. If you are using a DVI-I display, the scaler converter is now ready to use. If you are

using an RGB (VGA) display, adjustments will be required from within the On-screen

menu (Please see Menu and Adjustments)

If you’re having difficulty using the video scaler, try the following solutions based on the

nature of the problem.

No image is being shown on the display.

1) Ensure the video scaler is plugged in and receiving power. One LED indicator on the

front panel will be lit when the switch is receiving power.

2) Try selecting another input on the display and verify which input the scaler is

connected to. Most displays will have their A/V inputs marked with a number, so

ensure the input selected on the screen matches the physical connection between the

scaler and the display.

3) Verify cable connections between the input device, video scaler and display are snug.

Video quality is poor.

1) Verify cable connections between the input device, video scaler and display are snug.

2) Using lengthy cables may cause signal degradation. Try to locate the scaler as close

to the input device and display, as possible.

3) Enter the Picture Adjust sub-menu, ensure that Contrast, Brightness and Color are

set appropriately.

4)Ensure that the proper input signal is selected in the Input Setup sub-menu.
