Multi-format HD Video Scaler 1. Introduction 1.1 General Thank you for purchasing the Black Box Model AC139A, a powerful video processor and scaling product. It combines the functions of many products in one compact and versatile unit. It has both high definition analog as well as digital inputs. Two outputs are available (simultaneously active†), one analog (RGBHV) and one digital DVI-D (HDMI™ compatible).
Model AC139A The DVI input is HDCP compliant. This allows the unit to be used as an HDMI™ Video Scaler (HDMI™ audio is not passed through). When the digital input has HDCP encryption, the DVI output must be connected to a HDCP compatible LCD (by definition all displays with HDMI™ input must be HDCP compliant). Built-in universal power supply keeps the installations clutter free.
Multi-format HD Video Scaler 1.2 Features • High definition digital (DVI / HDMI) and analog (PC VGA / YPbPr) Scaler that accepts PC RGB (up to UXGA), HD Component (480i up to 1080p) and DVI (up to WUXGA) and scales them to DVI and analog outputs at user specified resolutions • HDCP (HDMI™) compliant DVI input and output • Output resolution selectable from 480i to 1080p (HDTV) and VGA to WUXGA (PC).
Model AC139A 2. Installation 2.1 Connecting the Video Inputs and Outputs The video scaler can accept a VGA (analog RGBHV from PC), DVI (digital video from PC or HDMI™ source), and Component Video (Y Pb Pr) from any source. When the source is from an HDMI™ output, an HDMI to DVI cable or adapter is required. Please contact Black Box if you need to purchase this cable. Two outputs connectors are provided. Both show the selected input at the desired output resolution.
Multi-format HD Video Scaler Video Inputs Y Pb Pr: This is also known as Component Video input (analog) and on some equipment it may be labeled as YCbCr. Since this input supports all interlace and progressive resolutions from 480i to 1080p, you can connect it to both legacy and new equipment alike as long as it has component video output. For a list of supported resolutions, please see Specifications Section titled “Supported Input Formats” found later in this manual.
Model AC139A connector with all the pin positions you could use a DVI-I cable as long as your source also has all the pin positions.
Multi-format HD Video Scaler Video Outputs VGA: This is a dual purpose output. Depending on the output resolution you set it will output a PC compatible signal. Note about HDCP For HDMI™ compliance, if the input is from an HDMI™ source with content protection, the VGA output is blanked and front panel LED blinks. DVI: This is the TMDS digital output of the Scaler.
