gamma, sharpness, image size, image position, and edge blanking.
Individual 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; the RS-232 control options; and the reset to factory defaults function.
A handy System Info menu option uses the on-screen display to show
comprehensive information about the input and output signals and scaler
settings.
Audio follow and breakaway — Audio switching can follow its corresponding
video input signal or, under RS-232 control, audio can be broken away from
the video input.
Except as noted in Video breakaway, below, when a new input channel is
selected, the audio automatically switches to the newly selected input
channel.
Video breakaway — Under RS-232 control, video can be switched without
disturbing the audio switch.
Operational flexibility — Operations such as input and scaling selection, picture
controls, and saving and recalling of presets can be performed on the front
panel or over the RS-232 link. The RS-232 links allow remote control via a PC
or control system.
•Front panel control — The scaler’s front panel controller and on-screen
menus support individual input selection, resolution selection, volume
control, and complete configuration of the scaler.
•ASCII character command set — The remote control protocol uses Extron’s
ASCII character command set for easy programming and operation.
Freeze mode — Provides a high quality still image for applications that require
close examination of a specific video frame. Freeze mode operates for video
and RGB signals that are processed by the scaling circuitry. Passive
(unscaled) video on input 4 cannot be frozen.
Blank mode — Suppresses the output video image. Blank silences the R, G, and B
video outputs but the scaler still outputs sync. This ensures that the output
device does not lose sync lock. Blank mode operates for video and RGB
signals that are processed by the scaling circuitry. Passive (unscaled) video
on input 4 cannot be blanked.
User memories — The IN1404XT provides 128 user memories that store all video,
audio, and input parameters. User memories allow the unit to be optimized
for a large number of sources and gives the capability to recall those settings
quickly. The memories make it easier to add to the number of inputs to the
scaler by putting a switcher in front of an input.
Rack mountable — The 1U high scaler can be mounted in any conventional 19”
wide rack using the included IN9123B rack ears.
Power — The 100VAC to 240VAC, auto-switchable, internal power supply of the
IN1404XT provides worldwide power compatibility.
