There are nine (9) audio inputs on the DreamScaler 4:

•Two (2) Optical Digital inputs

•Two (2) Coaxial Digital inputs

• One (1) Analog (L/R) input

•Four (4) HDMI inputs

While the digital and analog audio inputs can be assigned to any one of the video inputs, the HDMI audio inputs are

tied directly to the HDMI video signal connected on the same input.

The DreamScaler 4 accepts digital audio sourced from DVD players, satellite receivers, digital set top boxes, game

consoles, or other digital audio devices. These inputs are compatible with most consumer digital audio formats,

including CD-Audio (44.1kHz/16 bit LPCM), Dolby Digital, and DTS.

The coaxial digital audio inputs are compatible with any format with a sampling frequency between 24kHz and

192kHz, and with a data word structure up to 24 bits in length. The optical digital audio inputs are compatible with

any format with a sampling frequency between 24kHz and 96kHz and with a data word structure up to 24 bits in

length. The HDMI audio inputs are compatible with HDMI 1.3 audio formats.

Audio Outputs

There are two digital audio outputs, one coaxial and one optical. Both are active at the same time, with the selected

input Digital Audio stream.

12V Triggers Outputs

There are two 12V Trigger outputs that are designed to support a total combined load of 500 mA.

Power Supply Input

The DreamScaler 4 comes with a 6V@7A AC-to-DC converter power supply, which accepts 100-240 VAC at 50/

60Hz. To attach power to the unit:

Note:

The DreamScaler 4 is able to process HDCP protected signals. However, the output signal may be only visible if a

valid HDCP supported display is hooked up to the DreamScaler 4’s HDMI output connector. The output signal would

never be visible through the DreamScaler 4’s analog BNC output connectors.

Use only the power supply that came with your DreamScaler 4.

2.3 Remote Control Overview

The functions of these buttons are detailed in the next paragraph. An asterisk (*) indicates this feature will be

implemented in future software.

Power/Standby Buttons

The DreamScaler 4 remote has a Power and a Standby button. The Power button always turns the DreamScaler 4

on and the Standby button always put the unit into Standby mode.

Curtain Button

The DreamScaler 4 remote has a Curtain button which allows you to close a ‘curtain’ over the image. This feature is

especially useful when an image is paused on a display susceptible to burn-in.

1) Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.

2) Remove the cover from the back. To do this, press the tab attached to the cover and pull the cover with the

guide on the back of the remote control.

3) Remove the old batteries (if applicable).

4) Insert two new AA batteries in the compartment as shown on the inside of the battery compartment. Make sure

the batteries are correctly inserted, observing the proper polarity.

5) After installation, replace the cover and dispose of the old batteries (if applicable).

3.0 SETUP

3.1 Initial Set-Up

STEP 1 - Power Up

1) Attach the removable power cord to the external power supply.

2) Plug the removable power cord into a wall outlet or power conditioner, if applicable.

3) Plug the small connector attached to the cable that comes out of the power supply into the DreamScaler 4.

The DreamScaler 4 should power on and display ‘DreamVision Powered by ABT’ on the FPD.

STEP 2 - Connect the scaler to your display

Once you have installed the DreamScaler 4 into your system, you must properly conﬁgure it for the display device

being driven. The DreamScaler 4 is shipped from the factory with the following preset default settings:

• Input Select is set to AUTO, to automatically detect an active input in a pre-conﬁgured priority.

• The Digital Video output is selected with RGB 4:4:4 color space

•The output format is set to SMPTE 274M, 1080p@50Hz or 1080p@60Hz according to the active source refresh

rate.

Use either the remote control or the front panel controls to perform the initial setup of the DreamScaler 4's output.

The procedure below uses the front panel buttons to perform initial setup.

Accessing the DreamScaler 4’s On Screen Display is crucial, not only in allowing you to navigate the menu of the

DreamScaler 4, but also to let you know that the DreamScaler 4 is sending a compatible signal to the display. If the

OSD is not visible on the display’s screen when you press one of the sub-menu buttons on the remote control, then

you must conﬁgure the DreamScaler 4 Signal output to obtain a compatible signal.

Displays with a DVI or HDMI Input

The default output on the DreamScaler 4 is digital RGB 4:4:4 (DVI Standard). The default format output is

1920x1080 progressive (1080p). If you don’t have any picture on your screen, change the output resolution to a

lower one (1080i for example if your display is HD-Ready but not Full-HD compatible). If the DreamScaler 4 is

conﬁgured to output on its Analog output, go throw steps 1 to 5 to change the active output to HDMI.

1) Press the Menu button on the front panel of the DreamScaler 4 once.You should see ‘Main Menu /Input Select’

on the FPD.

2) Press the Up button once. You should see ‘Main Menu / Output Setup’ on the FPD.

3) Press the Enter button.You should see ‘Output Setup / Analog/Digital’ on the FPD.

4) Press the Enter button.You should see ‘Analog/Digital / BNC (Analog)’.

5) Press the Down button to select ‘HDMI (Digital)’ and press the Enter button.

Displays with a Component (YPbPr) Input

1) Press the Menu button on the front panel of the DreamScaler 4 once. You should see

2) ‘Main Menu / Input Select’ on the FPD.

3) Browse to ‘Main Menu / Output Setup’ sub-menu on the FPD.

4) Press the Enter button.You should see ‘Output Setup / Analog/Digital’ on the FPD.

5) Press the Enter button once again. You should see ‘Analog/Digital / BNC (Analog)’. If you don’t, press the Up

button once and the press Enter. You should see ‘Output Setup / Analog/Digital’ on the FPD.

6) Browse to ‘Output Setup / Color Space’ sub-menu on the FPD.

7) Press the Enter button once. You should see ‘Color Space / YPbPr’ on the FPD. If you don’t, press the Up but-

ton once and press Enter. You should see the DreamScaler 4’s on screen Display (OSD) on your screen.

The DreamScaler 4 cannot output a component signal if the input signal is from a DVI or HDMI source with

HDCP. Instead the DreamScaler 4 outputs a blue screen.
