INTRODUCTION
The Linear High Definition A/V Scaler for HDMI allows you to upscale
and switch your standard definition or high definition Component and
HDMI sources to resolutions up to 1080p. Anything from set-top boxes,
DVD players to the next generation of gaming consoles can be plugged
into the Linear High Definition A/V Scaler for HDMI.
The Linear High Definition A/V Scaler for HDMI supports one Component
source with analog audio, one Composite or S-Video source with analog
audio, and two HDMI sources with digital audio. The analog audio from
the analog sources is digitized and outputted to the HDMI connection as
well as the digital audio outs. The HDMI inputs also have separate digital
audio inputs, so you can use DVI sources and separate digital audio and
the High Definition A/V Scaler for HDMI will embed the digital audio into
the HDMI output as well as the digital audio outs.
How It Works
You simply connect all your components and your display. Easy to use
on-screen menus are accessible through the IR remote control. The
IR remote control allows for effortless setup and image adjustment to
accommodate different viewing modes and screen sizes to perfect your
final picture.
OPERATION NOTES
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING
OR OPERATING THE HIGH DEFINITION A/V SCALER FOR HDMI
•
When initially powering on HDMI sources, it is important to have the High
Definition A/V Scaler for HDMI’s output selected to that source to ensure that
the EDID is relayed properly.
•
•
Compatible with all HDMI and DVI* displays
The Scaler to 1080P has a 15-foot limit on how far it can transmit the DDC
(Display Data Channel) information out of the HDMI output jack to the display.
Connections to displays at distances longer than 15 feet should use a true DDC
re-clocking solution such as our CAT-5 based HDMI signal extender device
(Linear part number HDMI-CAT5-EXT).
•
HDMI/HDCP compliant

RMT-SR-IR INSTALLATION
1. Remove battery cover from the back of the RMT-SR-IR remote.
2. Verify that dip switches 1 & 2 are in the down (OFF) position. (See page 13)
3. Insert the battery, hold the battery so that you can see the positive side
facing up. The side that is not marked must be facing down.
4. Test the RMT-SR-IR remote by pressing ONLY one button at a time. The
indicator light on the remote will flash once each time you press a button.
WARNING:
Do not press multiple buttons simultaneously and do NOT press buttons rapidly.
These actions will cause the remote to reset and steps 1-4 will have to be
repeated.
Note: The RMT-SR-IR ships with two batteries. Only one battery is required for
operation, the other battery is complimentary.
The optional IR extender allows you to
relocate your HDMI Switcher and still retain IR
control. Linear part# IR-EXTENDER

IR CODE CONFIGURATION
How to Resolve IR Code Conflicts
In the event that IR commands from other remote controls conflict with the
supplied RMT-SR-IR remote control, changing the remote channel will alleviate
this issue. The RMT-SR-IR remote control has DIP SWITCHES for configuring
the remote channel. The High Definition A/V Scaler for HDMI must match the
remote channel set in the RMT-SR-IR remote control. Please see page 10 for
instruction on how to configure the channel on the High Definition A/V Scaler for
HDMI. By default, both the High Definition A/V Scaler for HDMI and the RMT-SR-
IR remote control are set to Channel 1.
