The Gefen TV 1080p HDMI Scaler
The Gefen TV 1080p HDMI Scaler allows you to upscale your standard definition
or high definition HDMI sources to resolutions up to 1080p. Anything from set-
top boxes, DVD players to the next generation of gaming consoles including the
Xbox 360 Elite and Playstation 3 can be plugged into the 1080p HDMI Scaler.
How It Works
The 1080p HDMI Scaler supports HDMI or DVI sources with digital audio as well
as HDMI or DVI Displays. You can input a DVI source with a separate digital
audio signal and the Gefen TV 1080p HDMI Scaler will embed the digital audio
into the HDMI output. Conversely, you can use an HDMI source with a DVI
display and the Gefen TV 1080p HDMI Scaler will extract the audio for the digital
audio out to be used on an external sound system and/or amplifier
Easy to use on-screen menus accessible through the buttons on the unit or
the IR remote control (sold separately) allow for effortless setup and image
adjustment to accommodate different viewing modes and screen sizes.

1080P HDMI SCALER CONFIGURATION
Entering the Menu System
Pressing the Menu button on the front panel will display the GUI (graphical user
interface) for adjustment options.
The GUI is overlaid onto the outgoing video to the display. Therefore, the source
must be outputting a compatible resolution for viewing on the display. If video is not
visible on the display, the GUI will also fail to be displayed. To correct this, please
reset the unit by following the steps below follow the steps below.
Reset
1. Verify that the source is on and outputting a video signal.
2. Verify that the display is connected and powered on.
3. Press and hold the menu button, located on the front panel.
4. While holding the menu button, remove the power supply connector from the
unit and wait 5 seconds.
5. While continuing to hold the menu button, re-insert the power supply into the unit
and then release the menu button.
This will reset the unit and allow it to detect the display’s native resolution based on
its EDID. If an image is still not being displayed, it is possible that either the display’s
EDID is corrupt or the 1080p HDMI Scaler cannot output the display’s native
resolution. Please call Gefen’s technical support line.
Navigation
Navigation of the GUI is accomplished using the front panel buttons. Please see the
chart below for the functions of each panel button.
