Frequently Asked Questions - SCALE1 Simplified MFG

What is the SCALE1 and what does it do?

The SCALE1 is an HDMI Repeater with Scaler that amplifies and equalizes HDMI signals. It can scale up or down between 4K and 1080p resolutions (no frame rate conversion) or pass through the signal unchanged. It supports HDMI 2.0b with 18 Gbps bandwidth, 4K@60Hz, and multi-channel audio passthrough.

What cable lengths does the SCALE1 support?

For 4K2K@60Hz, total cable length is up to 20 meters (input max 10m, output max 10m). For 4K2K@30Hz, up to 30 meters (input 18m, output 12m). For 1080p, up to 40 meters (input 25m, output 15m). These lengths assume high-speed HDMI cables.

How do I use the scaling feature?

The SCALE1 automatically scales between 4K and 1080p based on the source and display capabilities. You can override this by pressing the Scaler Button on the unit to cycle through: Scale Up (1080p to 4K), Scale Down (4K to 1080p), and Pass-through (no scaling). The LED indicators show the input and output resolution.

What power supply do I need?

The SCALE1 requires a DC 5V/1A power adaptor. A suitable adaptor is included in the package. Ensure you use a surge-protected power source to protect the unit from electrical spikes.

Does the SCALE1 support HDR or Dolby Vision?

The manual does not explicitly mention HDR or Dolby Vision. It supports 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 and 10/12-bit color depth, which are parts of the HDMI 2.0b specification. However, HDR metadata passthrough is not guaranteed. For best results, check the connected source and display capabilities.

What audio formats are supported?

The SCALE1 passes through LPCM 2/5.1/7.1CH, Dolby Digital, DTS 5.1, Dolby Digital+, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio. Audio sampling rates up to 192 kHz are supported.

How do I update the firmware?

Firmware updates are performed via the Mini-USB port labeled 'Service' on the unit. This port is for firmware upgrade only. Simplified MFG may provide firmware updates; check their website for instructions.

Does the SCALE1 require separate power for the HDMI signal?

Yes, the SCALE1 is an active repeater and requires external power via the included 5V/1A adaptor. It will not function without power. Connect power last when setting up to ensure proper initialization.

What is the warranty period?

Simplified MFG provides a 3-year parts and labor warranty from the original purchase date. The warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship but does not cover damage from misuse, power surges, or unauthorized service. Proof of purchase is required.

Can I cascade multiple SCALE1 units?

Yes, the SCALE1 supports multiple layer cascading for longer distances. However, each unit adds a small delay and requires its own power. Ensure total cable lengths do not exceed the recommended maximums for each resolution.
