1.0 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this video converter from Audio Authority. The Model
9A60Ais a transcoder that adapts a VGA-type RGBHV video signal to a YPbPr
Component Video signal for use with High Definition Television (HDTV) moni-
tors.
Transcoding
is defined as a direct conversion from one signal type to
another. When compatible sources and monitors are configured correctly, the
9A60Apermits HDTV images generated by a set top box or personal computer to
be displayed on an HDTV capable television or monitor.
The 9A60Ais not a format converter, and does not include a scaler or video
processing chip. It passes the horizontal and vertical synchronization timings
and pixel content from the input source to its outputs without modification. For
example, a desired 1080i YPbPr image on your television will require a 1080i
RGBHV signal from your source. Generally, the acceptable NTSC/ATSC broad-
cast resolutions within the United States are 640x480 60Hz, 1280x720 60Hz
and 1920x1080 60Hz. The underlined numbers are those most often used by
manufacturers to indicate the acceptable input resolutions for a particular video
display. Some combinations of sources and televisions may produce undesired
display artifacts or fail to work at all.
