5. Istruzioni per l'uso

The SC2030 offers flexible control options via DIP switches or PC software. The device automatically detects the input signal (HDMI or SDI).

5.1 Configurazione degli interruttori DIP

The DIP switches allow you to set the output resolution, frame rate, audio embedding options, and control mode. The table below details the functions of each DIP switch (1=ON, 0=OFF).

Figura 5.1: Detailed DIP Switch Settings for the SC2030. This table shows how to configure SDI/HDMI output, video input, audio embedding, SD up conversion, and control modes using the 8 DIP switches.

Funzioni dell'interruttore DIP:

• SW1-SW4 (SDI/HDMI Output): These switches control the output resolution and frame rate. Refer to the table in Figure 5.1 for specific combinations (e.g., 1080p60, 1080p59.94, 720p60).
• SW5 (Video Input):
  • 1: Auto (SDI First) - Prioritizes SDI input.
  • 0: HDMI - Forces HDMI input.
• SW6 (Audio Embedding):
  • 1: Follow Input - Audio follows the selected video input.
  • 0: Analog Audio - Embeds audio from the 3.5mm analog audio input.
• SW7 (SD Up Conversion):
  • 1: 16:9 De-Squeeze - Converts 4:3 SD input to 16:9.
  • 0: 4:3 Pillarbox - Maintains 4:3 aspect ratio with pillarbox bars.
• SW8 (Controls):
  • 1: DIP - Control via physical DIP switches.
  • 0: PC - Control via PC software connected via USB.

5.2 Controllo del software per PC

For advanced configuration and real-time monitoring, connect the SC2030 to a PC via the Micro USB port. Ensure SW8 is set to '0' (PC control mode).
