2.4 Connecting Output Displays

Connect your display devices to the output ports:

• SDI OUT (2x): Connect up to two SDI displays or recording devices using BNC cables.
• HDMI OUT (1x): Connect an HDMI display or recording device using an HDMI cable.

3. Operasie

3.1 Invoerbronkeuse

The input source can be selected using the onboard DIP switches. Refer to the device's labeling for specific switch positions corresponding to each input type (SDI, HDMI, DVI-I, VGA, CVBS, S-Video, YPbPr).

3.2 Output Format and Scaling

The SC7030 supports up/down scaling and frame rate conversion. Output resolutions can be configured up to 1080p60. These settings are typically adjusted via onboard DIP switches or through the PC software connected via the USB Type-C port. The device also performs hardware deinterlacing for 1080i signals to enhance image clarity.

3.3 Aspect Ratio Adjustment

Adjust the output aspect ratio to suit your display requirements. Available options include:

• 16:9 Letterbox: Maintains original aspect ratio with black bars on top/bottom.
• 16:9 Stretched: Stretches the image to fill a 16:9 screen.
• 4:3 Cropping: Crops the image to fit a 4:3 aspect ratio.

These adjustments are typically made using the onboard DIP switches or PC software.
