The Gefen TV Composite & S-Video To HDMI Scaler  
The new GefenTV Composite to HDMI Scaler takes either Composite Video  
or S-Video as input and converts it to digital HDMI video, then scales it up to a  
maximum output of 1080p resolution (or 1920x1200 when used with a computer  
monitor).  
How It Works  
Simply plug in your Composite or S-Video video source to its input jack on the  
rear of the Scaler. The Scaler will automatically detect the video frequency and  
resolution of the source signal, then convert that picture to a digital HDMI video  
signal. You will then choose the best output resolution and viewing format of the  
picture on your HDTV via the on-screen menu system (using the included IR  
remote) or using the buttons on the front of the Scaler.

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

and then release the menu button.
