Product Overview

Description

The IN1403 is a full featured video scaler that combines digital video decoding, advanced video scaling/line multiplication and a 4-input A/V switcher into a single product.

Features

Superb Video Scaling Technology — Employing sophisticated video de-interlacing, scaling and filtering techniques, the IN1403 offers an output signal with outstanding image detail and enhanced brightness that is entirely free of visible scan lines. The scaler automatically senses the origin of the video source material and selects the optimum motion compensation formula to eliminate unwanted artifacts in the output image. The IN1403 employs high bandwidth digital signal processing and high speed digital to analog conversion, combined with effective filtering and sharpness circuitry to maintain and enhance image detail, even at the highest output resolutions.

Advanced Quad Standard Video Decoding — A high quality video decoder in the IN1403 provides accurate video decoding of composite video and S-video signals in the NTSC, PAL, SECAM and NTSC

4.43video standards. The video decoder employs an advanced 3-line adaptive comb filter for composite video signals and greatly reduces cross-color interference and hanging dots, while maintaining maximum image bandwidth and detail.

Pick the Perfect Resolution — The IN1403 offers a wide range of output resolutions to match the optimum or native resolution of virtually any display device. The IN1403 provides a progressive scan output signal at standard resolutions and refresh rates, ensuring optimal compatibility and exceptional image quality with a wide range of CRT, LCD, DMD, ILA, D-ILA, and plasma display devices.

Selectable Refresh Rate — The IN1403 output vertical refresh rate is adjustable from 60 Hz to 120 Hz By converting PAL (25 Hz) and NTSC (30 Hz) input signals to higher, more ergonomic refresh rates, the IN1403 makes it possible to display a remarkably solid, flicker-free image when using CRT monitors and projectors. The chart on page 18 indicates the output resolutions and refresh rates available on the IN1403.

4-Input Video/Audio Switcher — The IN1403 provides multiple inputs and flexible switching capability to accommodate a variety of applications. Inputs 1, 2, and 3 can each accept a composite video or S-video signal. Input 4 is a 15-pin HD VGA pass-through connector for a computer video signal (passive, no scaling). Stereo audio-follow-video switching is provided for all four inputs.

Memory — The IN1403 can recall previously stored settings with the push of a single button. All audio, video, input and output settings, for each input and each output mode, are stored internally (in memory). Once optimized, all adjustments are automatically recalled every time an input is selected.

Digital Freeze Frame — Provides a high quality still image, useful for applications that require close examination of a specific video frame. Freeze Frame can be enabled/disabled using the front panel FREEZE FRAME button or an RS-232 serial command. Freeze is functional for Inputs 1, 2, and 3. It has no effect on Input 4, which is a passive input.

Video Blank button — Located adjacent to the input selector buttons, the BLANK button allows the video image to be suppressed. When blank is engaged, the output signals go to black but the sync signals continue, ensuring that the data display device retains sync lock. When the BLANK button is pressed a second time, the previously selected input is once again displayed. The blank feature can also be engaged or disengaged using the RS-232 serial command. Video blank is functional for Inputs 1, 2, and 3. It has no effect on Input 4, which is a passive input.

On Screen Menus — Provides easy control over video adjustments including hue, color, contrast, brightness, gamma, sharpness, image size, image position, and edge blanking. Unique image settings can be optimized and stored for each input. Each time an input is selected, all image settings stored for that input are automatically recalled. The on-screen menus also make it easy to verify and adjust advanced settings such as output signal resolution, refresh rate, sync format, RS-232 control options, and reset to factory default.
