SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
The UXHD CrossPoint can be set up in several useful modes to scale resolutions, convert formats, act as a
distribution amp, a crosspoint and other mix and match signal processing solutions. It is very easy to
understand and operate. The menus are simple and our recommendation is to jump in and start pushing
buttons, then, read the instructions, just like normal.
Initial Set-up:
Install the UXHD into a rack, connect the I/O video signals and plug in the supplied 12 VDC Power adapter.
The system will boot up upon the first power up and is ready to assign inputs and outputs. To put the system
into Stand-by Mode, touch and hold the Power Button for approximately 2.0 seconds. All I/O assignments
will be remembered by UXHD when the Power button is touched and the power switch is backlit again.
1) Digital Video In (HD-SDI) to Digital Video Out (D/A) and Analog Video Out (RGBHV)
Scenario: HD-SDI cameras and HD-SDI console in a House of Worship with an RGBHV projector for IMAG.
• When the UXHD is turned on, the Firmware version will be displayed.
• Press the down arrow key on the front panel and the first Chevron (>) will engage…well, the only
chevron will appear next to Input 1 Menu.
• Press the down arrow key again to get to the Input 2 Menu and press select.
• The HD-SDI/SDI In menu will appear, select this menu and scroll through the list of resolutions and pick
the resolution of the device connected to Input 2 (i.e. PTZ camera, ProductionVIEW HD-SDI, etc…), for
example select 720p/59.94 and touch select button.
• Arrow down to the HD/HV/SD Out menu (this abbreviation, while not standard, covers YPbPr HD & SD,
RGBHV from 640x480@60Hz up to 1920x1200@60Hz, and SD resolutions in Y/C and CVBS in NTSC
and PAL formats…hence the abbreviation) and touch the Select button.
• Scroll through the options of RGBHV and select a resolution fairly close to the original in resolution
1280x720 and aspect ratio 16:9 (picking 1024x768@60Hz is not a real good choice since XGA is a 4:3
aspect ratio and the image will distort), so choosing a wide XGA resolution like 1280x768@60Hz which
is a 15:9, or 1280x800@60HZ which is 16:10, or even 1360x768@60Hz which is also 16:9, would be the
best choices providing your display device can handle it. Touch select to make your resolution choice.
• Touch the down arrow to HD-SDI/SDI Out Menu and touch select and scroll through the HD-SDI output
options, in this case, we are using this output as a D/A and the output resolution will be the same as the
input, so select 720p/59.94
2) CrossPoint Solution (see Figure 6, Configuration Example)
Scenario: HD-SDI Console and Cameras setup requires a PC input to the console and a RGBHV output to a projector.
• Set the Input 1 menu to the proper input resolution of the PC (1280x800@60Hz) and the Output 2 HD-
SDI resolution to something close going to the input of the ProductionVIEW HD-SDI, say 720p/60.
Please note that when you convert PC RGBHV to VIDEO, the Video will be somewhat over-scanned,
this is how the world works, so please accept it (more on this later).
• In this case, the Vaddio ProductionVIEW HD-SDI console will be set at 1080i/60 outputs, so in order to
get the HD-SDI signal out to the monitors and to the projector, Set up Input 2 HD-SDI resolution at
1080i/60 (16:9) and set up the Output 1 resolution to 1920x1200@60Hz (16:10) for the projector. This
application allows the broadcast quality HD-SDI gear to operate seamlessly with analog equipment.

Figure 4: After this set-up, by touching the INPUT 2 button on the front panel, the UXHD will display the outputs
assigned and the format of each output. By touching the OUTPUT 1 or OUTPUT 2 buttons, the backlit blue LED will
turn off and the output will be toggled to black screen, allowing on the fly changes or on/off switching as needed.
