ESD WARNING

To avoid ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damage to sensitive components, make sure you are properly grounded before touching any internal materials.When working with any equipment manufactured with electronic devices, proper ESD grounding procedures must be followed to make sure people, products, and tools are as free of static charges as possible. Grounding straps, conductive smocks, and conductive work mats are specifically designed for this purpose. These items should not be manufactured locally, since they are generally composed of highly resistive conductive materials to safely drain static discharges, without increasing an electrocution risk in the event of an accident.Anyone performing field maintenance on AMX equipment should use an appropriate ESD field service kit complete with at least a dissipative work mat with a ground cord and a UL listed adjustable wrist strap with another ground cord.

WARNING: Do Not Open! Risk of Electrical Shock. Voltages in this equipment are hazardous to life. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Place the equipment near a main power supply outlet and make sure that you can easily access the power breaker switch.

WARNING: This product is intended to be operated ONLY from the voltages listed on the back panel or the recommended, or included, power supply of the product. Operation from other voltages other than those indicated may cause irreversible damage to the product and void the products warranty. The use of AC Plug Adapters is cautioned because it can allow the product to be plugged into voltages in which the product was not designed to operate. If the product is equipped with a detachable power cord, use only the type provided with your product or by your local distributor and/or retailer. If you are unsure of the correct operational voltage, please contact your local distributor and/or retailer.

WARNING: Avoid exposure to extreme heat or cold.

Overview

The AMX SCL-1 4K60 Scaler is a small-format scaler that adjusts the output to match the optimal resolution of the display. The scaler includes a single input and a single output, with a size small enough to be mounted behind a display.

It was designed to be used in combination with products such as the local HDMI outputs on the AMX Precis 8x8 that do not have built-in scaling. This offers a more flexible, lower cost solution for installations where scaling is needed only on certain outputs.

The SCL-1 is compatible with 4K60 4:4:4 resolutions and HDCP 2.2, offering support for the latest source devices and displays. Because the SCL-1 includes automatic scaling, the device can be configured to automatically scale to the optimal resolution of the display based on its EDID. It can be set to always scale to a particular resolution.

Common Applications

Ideal for a variety of applications where there is no video scaling built into the switcher.

Features

4K60 4:4:4 and HDCP 2.2 Support – Both 4K60 and non-4K content are supported

Single Input/Output - Can be used in combination with products such as presentation switchers which do not have resolution support to match displays.

Automatic Scaling Option - Can be configured to automatically scale to the optimal resolution of the display based on its EDID, or it can be set to always scale to a particular resolution.

HDMI input and output support up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 8bit

HDCP 2.2 compliant

Supports fast switching when working with PR01-0808

Scaling output adjusted by DIP switch

EDID management by API commands

Connection Modes

ENDPOINT MODE:

The SCL-1 will change to Endpoint mode when it detects the presence of PR01-0808. Endpoint mode takes effect immediately. A reboot is not needed.

Endpoint Mode Settings:

1. Copy EDID (always change EDID audio to 2CH).
2. Get input HDCP info from PR01-0808.
3. Follow PR01-0808 instructions to send CEC commands.
4. Use DIP switch on SCL-1 to set scaling output.
5. Receive API commands through RS232 port on SCL-1 to set other features.
6. Upgrade FWs via RS232 port and USB Type-A port.

STANDALONE MODE:

The SCL-1 will change to Standalone mode when it cannot detect the presence of PR01-0808. Standalone mode takes effect immediately. A reboot is not needed.

Standalone Mode Settings:

1. EDID controlled by API commands through RS232 on SCL-1, copy EDID is default setting (always change EDID audio to 2CH):

• 3840 x 2160@60_2ch
• 3840 x 2160@30_2ch
• 1920 x 1200@60_2ch
• 1920 x 1080@60_2ch
• 1280 x 800@60_2ch
• 1280 x 720@60_2ch
- 1024 x 768@60_2ch
- Copy(Default);

1. SCL-1 gets input HDCP information automatically.
2. SCL-1 controls CEC commands.
3. Use DIP switch on SCL-1 to set scaling output.
4. Receive API commands through RS232 port on the SCL-1.
5. Upgrade FWs via RS232 port and USB Type-A port.

Troubleshooting

1. The power LED is off.

• Check that all the devices are on.
• Check that all the cables are the correct specification and connected properly.

2. The display connected to the SCL-1 shows no picture.

• Check that all the devices are on.
• Check that all the cables are the correct specification and connected properly.
• Check that the display works properly, and that the source device has a normal output signal.
• Make sure that the display device supports HDCP.
• Check that no compatibility issues exist between the device and the display. If so, replace the display with a compatible model.

3: The display connected to the SCL-1 displays snow or a mosaic pattern.

• Check that all the cables are the correct specification and connected properly.
• Check that the source input device has no problems, such as snow, mosaic or a damaged disc. If so, replace it with a normal input source.
• Check that no compatibility issues exist between the SCL-1 and the display. If so, replace the display with other models.

API Command List Instructions

General rules for using BCS commands

• Command strings typically are not case-sensitive.
• All command strings must end with the Take command "T" which tells the system of execute the command.
• “O” is the letter O, no the number zero (0).
• Entering "X" at any point in a command string cancels the command.

- A command cannot be canceled after the "T" has been entered.

- Command strings cannot be edited. If a mistake has been made, enter an "X" and then reenter the command.

- To specify multiple outputs, inputs, levels, or local presets, enter a space “” between each number. Multiple inputs are only valid in Disconnect commands.

- To specify a range of outputs, inputs or local presets, enter a space " " between each number. Multiple inputs are only valid in Disconnect commands.

- To specify a range of outputs, inputs or local presets, insert a colon ":" between the lowest and highest numbers of the range (not supported if the command is otherwise invalid, e.g., cannot specify a range of inputs in a Change command; the first input only would be routed.).

- Colons ":" and spaces " " can be used in the same command string.

- If the level designation "L" is omitted, the command is executed on the default level, which is normally Level 0.
