Audio Authority 1388 HDMI to HDMI Scaler
with Analog to Digital and Digital to Analog Audio Conversion
Audio Authority 1388 HDMI to HDMI Scaler with Analog to Digital and Digital to Analog Audio Conversion
Audio Authority 1388 HDMI to HDMI Scaler is ideal for converting a wide range of HD or PC outputs to the ideal resolution and refresh rate for any given display device.
The 1388 can also convert 2-channel analog audio to HDMI-embedded audio, or 2-channel HDMI audio to 2-channel analog audio.
The 1388 HDMI to HDMI Scaler handles a wide range of computer-style input formats, ranging from 640 x 480 to 1680 x 1050, and HDTV-style input formats from 480i all the way up to 1080p. See Audio Authority's description below for a complete list of supported resolutions and formats.
Any of the wide range of input formats can be converted to the same wide range of output formats, so for example, a notebook computer can easily be connected to an HDTV, or just as easily, an HDTV source can be connected to a computer display.
The 1388 HDMI Scaler can automatically detect the native resolution of the display device, so operation is essentially automatic, but in cases where manual control is preferred, the on-screen menu system makes it easy to adjust resolution, format, brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, sharpness, RGB levels, aspect ratio, audio delay, and position of the OSD.
The 1388 ships with a short 3.5mm to stereo RCA breakout cable, and of course we also have additional cables available separately, if you need them.
Like most Audio Authority products, the 1388 comes with a one year limited warranty from the manufacturer.
Audio Authority's Description
HDMI to HDMI Scaler
Model 1388

Overview
The 1388 converts video resolutions to and from a variety of PC and HD formats, and provides both an HDMI input and output. It accepts audio embedded in the HDMI signal or external analog and digital sources of audio. The 1388 accepts HDMI signals from Cable and Satellite receivers, DVD players, Blu-ray Disc players and PCs and many other HDMI sources. It is useful for converting the source video signals for compatibility with HD displays and distribution systems.
Audio Applications
The 1388 is also useful with audio distribution systems. It converts two channel digital input (HDMI or optical) to analog output for an audio distribution system, and simultaneously embeds the digital audio in the HDMI output for displays in remote zones. The 1388 embeds audio from external sources (supports Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel surround as well as 2-channel PCM) and outputs it in the original formats. Variable audio delay provides correction for lip sync errors.
