Extron electronic IN1403 manual Compatibility, Input, Output

System Info — A handy menu option that uses the on-screen display to show comprehensive information about the input and output signals and scaler settings.

Image Size, Position and Edge Blanking Controls — Individual horizontal and vertical image adjustments make it easy to precisely fit the active video image to the display area and provide for multiple aspect ratios.

Comprehensive Input Adjustment Controls — These input signal adjustments include signal format, aspect ratio and horizontal tracking. Once adjustments are made to optimize input signals, these settings are stored and automatically recalled when the same input source is selected again.

Blue Screen Feature — Provides a full screen blue image for setup and testing purposes. The blue screen output signal (activated via the on-screen menu) is always available, even when the input signal is missing or the input settings are incorrectly adjusted. Blue screen acts as a test signal and is ideal for setting up the output resolution, refresh rate and position settings, and to verify connection to the output display device.

RS-232 Serial Control — Provided for all scaler functions including input selections, image adjustments and output settings. The IN1403’s comprehensive RS-232 control capacity facilitates complete system integration and effortless control when combined with a third party control system.

Dual Outputs — The IN1403 features a 5-BNC output and a 15-pin HD output. Since both are active simultaneously, the IN1403 can directly drive two separate display devices.

Rack Mountable — The IN1403 can be mounted in a 1U rack space using the provided mounting brackets (Extron part # 70-391-01).

Compatibility

Input

The IN1403 Video Scaler accepts composite and S-video signals in the NTSC, PAL, SECAM, and NTSC

4.43video standards on inputs 1, 2, and 3. The unit automatically senses NTSC, PAL, and SECAM video standards and decodes the signal appropriately. You must select composite video or S-video mode as appropriate for each of these inputs. Input 4 is a passive input (no decoding or scaling) designed to accept a VGA computer video signal.

The IN1403 has stereo audio-follow-video capability. All four stereo audio inputs are compatible with unbalanced line level signals from a computer audio card, CD player, laser disc player, or any other audio device that delivers a stereo line level signal.

Output

The IN1403 features selectable output resolutions (ranging from 640 x 480 up to 1365 x 1024) to match the optimum or native resolution of virtually any display device. The unit provides a progressive output signal at standard resolutions and refresh rates, ensuring optimal compatibility and exceptional image quality with a wide range of CRT, LCD, DMD, D-ILA/LCOS, and plasma display devices.

The output refresh rate is also selectable as desired. When used with LCD, DMD, or LCOS displays, the 60 Hz output setting is recommended. Higher output refresh rates may be selected for use on CRT-type displays in order to reduce flicker and provide enhanced ergonomics. The chart on page 18 indicates the available output resolutions and refresh rates.

The stereo audio output provides an unbalanced line level signal, identical to the input signal. This output can drive any line level compatible audio unit, or a local device such as a set of powered speakers.
