INTRODUCTION 1.1. General Introduction HQView-3xx is a very flexible image scaler developed specifically for driving large screen displays and multiple screen applications from video or graphics sources. HQView-3xx features state of the art digital image processor which provides market leading HD& SD per-pixel multiple Iow-angle motion-adaptive de-interlacing and automatic film pull-down correction for 3:2 and 2:2, significantly outperforming the capabilities of benchmark competitor products.
1.2. Packing List HQView-3xx is supplied with the following: 1) This manual 2) 3 pin plug IEC mains cable 3) DVI-D output cable 4) CD containing manuals and useful applications © Calibre UK Limited Issue 2.
HQVIEW-3XX SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 2.1. Product Overview HQView-3xx is designed to accept the following input signals: YPbPr or RGBS SD/ED/HD component video via 3 or 4 BNC connectors VGA analog (computer interface) via 15HDD DVI (Digital Visual Interface) via DVI-I (only the digital part is implemented on this connector), HDMI is supported via a HDMI/DVI adapter. 2.2. Product Specification This section provides technical details for all possible inputs.
2.2.5. Display Output A DVI-I connector is provided which will support DVI outputs as well as HDMI 1.3 with 36-bit video and HD audio formats when connected to a suitable HDMI 1.3 receiver. When the input signal has HDCP encryption, the DVI-D output connector will carry a similarly HDCP encrypted signal. When an HDCP encrypted signal is input, but the display device does not support HDCP, the output image will turn black and a message indicating HDCP Signal will come up to indicate this.

3.2. Introduction The HQView-3xx units have the input connectors on one side of the housing and the output connector and communication ports on the opposite side. The keypad for controlling HQView-3xx is located on the input connectors side. The active input is indicated by their corresponding triangles lit green. 8 1 7 2 6 5 3 4 1 – Keypad with three keys for OSD menu navigation (Menu, Down and Up) and a key for input channel selection (Input). With the Menu key the OSD menu is activated.
A factory reset can also be applied when pressing the factory reset key combination at power up. The keys have to be kept pressed for about 10 seconds until the RGB(S) input LEDs stop flashing. If the keys are released during that 10 seconds period the system will get into Updater mode (see chapter 5) since the Menu key is part of this key combination.
3.5. Output This menu contains adjustments associated with setting up outputs from the unit. Most items are collected in the Display Type submenu. Use the up and down keys to scroll to the required item and press the Menu key. 3.5.1.
24Hz input modes will be output at 24Hz if the output resolution is set to either 720p or 1080p and the Frame Rate setting in the Output Config menu includes 24Hz, otherwise it is displayed at twice the rate if the Frame Rate setting in the Output Config menu includes 48Hz. Otherwise a 24Hz input mode is displayed at 60Hz. 48Hz input modes will be output at 48Hz if the Frame Rate setting in the Output Config menu includes 48Hz. Otherwise it is displayed at 50Hz.
3.6. Colour This menu contains adjustments associated with setting up inputs to the unit. Use the Up and Down keys to scroll to the required item and press the Menu key. 3.6.1. Black-Level Offset Available Settings: 0 IRE, 7.5 IRE Used to select 7.5 IRE black level set-up adjustment. Should always be set to 7.5 IRE for HDMI video inputs. 3.6.2. Black-Level Settings: -50 to 50 in steps of 1 Black level controls the offset applied to the video signal. 3.6.3.
3.6.9. Input Gamma Settings: Gamma 1.0, Gamma 1.5, Gamma 2.2, Gamma 2.8 Set this value to match the native gamma of the input signal. Input gamma and output gamma both default to 2.2. If they are both set to the same value, there is no effect on the image. 3.7. Geometry This menu contains adjustments associated with setting up position, aspect ratio and scale of the input signal. Scale can be as simple as an overscan up to arbitrarily warping the image. 3.7.1.
Note that some aspect ratios may not be applicable to all signal types, in which case selecting a nonapplicable aspect ratio conversion will have no effect on the displayed image. E.g. when a 16:9 image is displayed on a 16:9 panel all settings give an identical full screen image. Standard preserves the aspect ratio of the incoming image and scales the image to fit into the size of the panel.
3.8. Enhancement The enhancement menu provide image enhancement functions. Note that the enhancement settings apply to video input signals only, not computer graphics signals. 3.8.1. Sharpness Available settings: -50 to 50 in steps of 1 Control of the sharpening enhancement filters' levels. These are peaking filters to improve highfrequency response. Note that setting this control too high on a signal which already has good high frequency response will cause ringing or ghosting. 3.8.2.
3.9. System This selection contains functions which are more applicable to system operation than to picture adjustment. 3.9.1. User Available settings: USER 1, 2, 3, 4 A predefined setting stored under a user name can be selected. Several settings of the HQView-3xx can be stored under a user name. Thus, different users can store their preferred HQView-3xx settings and recall these profiles by picking up their user name from this menu.
Note: Most test patterns are scaled in multiple unit configurations with Autozoom enabled since they are useful for setting up the blend and warp of the system. The SMPTE, and Pluge Patterns are not scaled. 3.9.4. Display Mode The “Display Mode” can be set to either Low Latency or Best Picture. In Best Picture optimum image processing is applied, whereas in Low Latency mode the lowest latency is achieved. The flicker of interlaced video is not suppressed totally for the latter setting.
3.9.8. Factory Defaults This button let you restore all settings to the default values of the HQView-3xx, thus, provide a means to get back to a known (good) system state. A requestor will come up and ask to confirm prior to actual restore. 3.10. Multiple Unit The HQView-310 and HQView-320 have a Multiple Unit menu for use in a multi screen application. Multiple screens are stitched together to provide a bigger display with higher resolution than a single display.
3.10.4. Blend Width The blend width menu provides sliders to set up the overlap region for left, right, top and bottom blend region. When changing the slider value from within the OSD the blend area is not updated live/ immediately. An update is forced when pressing the menu/enter button, the slider is replaced by the menu. The overlap is set up in output pixels with a range of up to a third of the output resolution.
REMOTE CONTROL WEB SERVER 4.1. Introduction HQView-3xx features a web server which connects to a PC web browser via TCP/IP. The menu system of HQView-3xx is mirrored into the web browser and all menu items can be accessed and controlled through the keyboard or mouse of the PC. Note: Backup/Restore is only available for V2 hardware. 4.2. Installing the Software No extra software needs to be installed on a PC. The PC web browser is used as the graphical user interface for all control items.
4.4. Software Operation Once the address has been entered into the web browser starts to load pages from the HQView-3xx mirroring the menu system of the unit. All menu items are shown as their respective buttons, sliders and list boxes and can be accessed and altered with the PC mouse or corresponding navigational key presses.
