Frequently Asked Questions - Digiscale Spatz

How do I connect the Spatz Digiscale to my TV?

Connect the HDMI output of your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player) to the HDMI input of the Digiscale using an HDMI cable. Then connect the HDMI output of the Digiscale to your TV. For analog audio, use the RCA outputs.

What video formats does the Digiscale support?

The Digiscale supports standard video formats including 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, and 1080i/p. It can scale the input resolution to a desired output resolution.

Why is there no picture on my TV after connecting?

Ensure all cables are securely connected and the correct input source is selected on your TV. Check that the source device is powered on and outputting a signal. The Digiscale may require USB power; confirm that the USB cable is plugged into a power source.

Do I need to install drivers for the Digiscale?

No, the Digiscale is plug-and-play and does not require any drivers. Simply connect and power on.

Can I use the Digiscale with a game console?

Yes, the Digiscale is compatible with game consoles that output HDMI, such as PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. It can scale the resolution for use with older TVs.

How do I clean the Digiscale?

Unplug the device and use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the exterior. Do not use any liquids, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.

What is the maximum resolution supported?

The Digiscale supports input and output resolutions up to 1080p (Full HD). It can scale lower resolutions to 1080p if needed.

Does the Digiscale support audio extraction?

Yes, the Digiscale can extract stereo audio from the HDMI input and output it via the analog RCA jacks (red/white). This allows you to connect to an external sound system.

Can I use the Digiscale without an external power supply?

The Digiscale requires power via its USB port (5V). It can be powered from a USB port on your TV, source device, or a standard USB wall adapter.

What cables are included with the Digiscale?

The package includes a USB power cable and a user manual. HDMI and analog AV cables are not included but are standard and widely available.

USER MANUAL Digiscale Spatz

Congratulations on your purchase of the SPATZ Video Scaler DIGISCALE.

Our professional Video Scaler products have been serving the industry for many years.

In addition to Video Scalers, SPATZ offers a full line of high quality PC multimedia, Standard Converters, Video Processors, and HDMI/DVI devices.

This manual includes operation information on the DIGISCALE.

Please read this to become familiar with the DIGISCALE and keep the manual for possible reference in the future.

SPATZ's DIGISCALE is designed to convert PC, SD, HD and DVI to digital

DVI at a variety of HDTV and PC resolutions. It handles input and output signal

at 205 MHZ ultra high bandwidth. SPATZ DIGISCALE has many great features

to enhance video performance and is ideal for use in professional large screen presentation.

(2).Features

1. DIGISCALE is a high bandwidth and professional PC/Component/DVI to

DVI Scaler that accepts PC RGB (up to UXGA), HD Component

(480i up to 1080p) and DVI (up to WUXGA) and scale them up to DVI-I

output (1080p/WUXGA).

1. The input to the DIGISCALE is analog PC or HDTV signal in the format of either

RGBHV or digital DVI.

1. The output of the DIGISCALE is digital DVI plus analog PC/HD with selectable output resolution from

480i to 1080p and VGA to WUXGA.

1. The input resolution is automatically detected while the output resolution and refresh rate can be

selected through OSD menu or front panel

push buttons.

1. Native output resolution ensures most optimal display resolution on your screen. When "Native" is

selected as the output resolution, the DIGISCALE will automatically detect the native resolution of the

display and send out the most optimal pixel timing to match TV's final display resolution.

1. Output picture adjustment on brightness, contrast, color, RGB level, and

H-V position.

1. The DVI input is HDCP compliant which means if input is HDCP encrypted then DVI output is also

HDCP encripted. In this case the PC analog output will be turned off.

1. Includes advanced features such as Noise Reduction and overscan/

underscan adjustment.

1. AUTO INPUT selection of VGA or DVI depending which input is connected.

(4).Operation Controls and Functions

1. Power: Press the button to turn ON or turn OFF (standby) the power of the unit.
2. Menu/ Enter: This button serves two purposes.

a. Press the button to bring up OSD main menu as shown in the

"OSD Operation". (page 7)

b. To act as a "Enter" key to enter sub menu or to adjust setting value of the selected parameter.

1. • / - button:

The buttons provide 3 functions:

a. Input select (+"): Press the "+" button repeatedly to select your desired input source. The input sources are toggled through in the following sequence.

b. Auto Tune ("-"): Press the "-" button to carry out picture auto adjust for the VGA input. The DIGISCALE will fine tune the position (centering) and color of the output picture.

c. When in the OSD menu mode: Press the +, - button to move up or down the highlight bar to your desired parameter. Or once a parameter is selected with MENU/Enter button, press the button to adjust setting value of your selected parameter.

1. Input LED Indicators: When one of the LED illuminates its corresponding source is being selected as input.

2. IR Sensor: Infrad remote control sensor.

VI input: Connects this DVI input connector to the DVI output connector of your DVI source equipment. The DVI input should be digital DVI only and should not include analog RGB signal. The use of DVI-I connector is to ensure both DVI-I and DVI-D male connector of the DVI cable can fit into this input connector. The digital DVI input resolution can range from 480i\~1080p, or VGA\~WUXGA.

1. PC-D sub out: The connector for scaled analog RGB output.

Connect this output port to the analog PC RGB input of your monitor, or connect it to the RGBHV input of your HD display using D-sub to 5 BNC adaptor cable. (not included in the package)

Note: When input is a HDCP encrypted DVI signal this analog output will be turned off.

1. DVI output: Scaled digital DVI output. Connect this output to the DVI input or HDMI input of your Digital display.

Note: When input is a HDCP encrypted DVI signal the DVI output is also HDCP encrypted. The monitor/display that connected to this output also need to be HDCP compliant in order to get a nice and clean picture. A non-HDCP compliant display can only display non-HDCP signal and picture will become noise when input is a HDCP-encrypted signal.

1. Power jack: Connect to the 5V 2A DC power adaptor.

The DIGISCALE accepts PC and DVI inputs. The formats supported by these inputs are as follows:

• When connecting to a PC source use a 15-pin D-sub cable to connect the output of a PC to the D-Sub input connector of the DIGISCALE.
• When connecting to a DVI source, use a DVI-I or DVI-D cable to connect the DVI output of a PC or DVD to the DVI input connector of the DIGISCALE.
• When connecting to a HDMI source, use a HDMI cable to connect to the HDMI output of a HDMI source, such as DVD or STB, on the one end.

And use a HDMI to DVI connector adaptor to connect to the other end of the HDMI cable. The DVI connector of the adaptor is then connect to the DVI input of the DIGISCALE.

The DIGISCALE can automatically detect the input resolution of all inputs.

To switch from one input source to another just press the input button on the front panel (+") or on the remote control.

The DIGISCALE can output a variety of PC, SD and HD resolutions in both digital and analog format simultaneously.

The digital output is available from the DVI output connector while the analog output is available from the PC D-sub output connector.

The digital output supports the following resolutions, all in RGB format:
