Introduction

About this Manual

This manual describes how to install, configure, and operate the Extron IN1502 video scaler and how to operate the optional IR 901 infrared remote control (part #70-152-01).

Throughout this manual the terms “IN1502”, “video scaler”, and “scaler” are used interchangeably to refer to the same product.

About the IN1502

What is the IN1502?

The IN1502 is a video scaler that offers 16 output rates and provides scaling solutions for boardrooms, conference rooms, and home theaters, as well as rental and staging applications.

To enable superior scaling performance, the IN1502 features several of Extron’s patented and patent-pending technologies, including Dynamic Motion Interpolation (DMI) technology, and 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown detection. DMI is an advanced motion detection and compensation method that enables image enhancement with no loss of image fidelity.

The IN1502 scales composite video and S-video up to computer video (RGBHV/ RGBS), which can be output to a display device via a 15-pin HD connector.

Controlling the IN1502 video scaler

The IN1502 can be controlled using one or more of the following methods:

The front panel controls

A computer, a touch screen panel, or any other device that can send and receive the serial communications through the RS-232 port. Extron’s Simple Instruction Set (SIS) is a set of simple keystroke commands that can be used with any such devices.

The optional IR 901 remote control, which has most of the front panel controls

Features and Options

Features

Two video inputs

Input 1 — One BNC connector on the rear panel accepts a composite video signal.

Input 2 — One 4-pin DIN connector on the rear panel accepts an S-video signal.

Video output — One VGA-type 15-pin HD connector provides an RGB output.

Three ways to control the scaler — The scaler’s front panel, a computer or other RS-232 control device, or the optional IR 901 remote control can all be used to control the scaler.

Scaled outputs — The IN1502 offers 16 different output rates.

RS-232 configuration — The IN1502 can be configured by using a control system.

Dynamic Motion Interpolation (DMI) — This video processing technique is an advanced motion prediction and compensation method that treats motion content and still content with different algorithms to yield high fidelity images.
