Introduction
About the Lancia
The Extron Lanciaxi video scan line doubler (figure 1) is a high
resolution, digital video device that converts interlaced video
into non-interlaced video. The Lanciaxi converts the two field
frame into a single non-interlaced frame consisting of 525 lines,
producing a brighter, higher resolution picture. The additional
lines provide more light output and make the overall image
brighter.
Lanciaxi
VCR
Figure 1 — A typical Lancia
The Lanciaxi has a high quality three-line adaptive comb filter
that eliminates most of the chroma noise found in standard
composite video signals. In addition, an internal time base
corrector (TBC) cleans-up low quality videotape signal noise
(common to VHS tape players) for a more stable and sharper
image. Motion mode compensation virtually eliminates the
jaggies commonly found on video line doublers so that the
image is smoother.
The Lanciaxi includes an internal two input switcher — one
S-video input and one composite video input are front panel
selectable, remote selectable, and auto-switchable. A quadstandard decoder makes the Lanciaxi compatible with all
international video formats: NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and
SECAM.
Features
• Line doubler — Doubles the resolution of standard video
from 525 interlaced lines at 15 kHz to 525 non-interlaced
lines at 31.5 kHz for a clearer, brighter output.
• Demo-mode — Built-in demo mode allows split screen of
video and line doubled video side by side.

• VGA mode — Conveniently converts video signals to 480
lines of non-interlaced VGA. This VGA output allows
you to plug the Lanciaxi directly into digital display
devices for RGBHV signal transmission.
• Quad-standard decoder — The Lanciaxi is compatible with all
international video formats including NTSC 3.58, NTSC
4.43, PAL, and SECAM.
• Motion mode compensation — With motion mode
compensation, the Lanciaxi virtually eliminate the jaggies
commonly found in line doubled video.
• Picture controls — Picture controls include color, hue (tint),
horizontal shift, and contrast for each input. The Lanciaxi
saves picture control settings for both inputs.
• RS-232 control — A rear panel RS-232 serial port provides
access for a third-party remote control system.
• Input sync detection — In auto-switch mode, the input with a
signal present is automatically selected, perfect for the
video loop-back feature of the System 8 PLUS and
System 10 PLUS switchers.
• Windows control software — Extron’s Windows-based
control software provides a graphic way to set up and
control the CD 800 with an on-screen control panel. It
allows the operator to remotely select inputs, make
picture adjustments, freeze the image, and store settings
for future use.
• Universal compatibility — Outputs RGBHV, RGBS, or RGsB
signals at 31.5 kHz.
• Output sync polarity — Sync polarity can be adjusted using
rear panel DIP switches (positive or negative H&V) to
allow for any projector to recognize the input from the
Lanciaxi versus a standard VGA input and save different
convergence, brightness, and contrast settings.
• Rack mountable — The Lanciaxi fits into a 1U high, 1/2 rack
width metal enclosure.

program, press the F1 key.
Contact Closure Control
The RS-232 connector provides a way to select an input to the
Lanciaxi using a remote contact closure device and indicate the
selected input on the contact closure device. Contact closure
control uses pins on the RS-232/Remote connector that are not
used by the RS-232 interface. The contact closure pin
assignments are shown in the table on page 4-2.
To select a different input number using a contact closure
device, momentarily short the pin for the desired input number
to logic ground (pin 5). To force one of the two inputs to be
always selected, leave the short to logic ground in place. The
short overrides front panel input selections.
The tally pins can be used for remote indication of the selected
input. Tally #1 or tally #2 indicate the selected input number
with a logic low (0 volts). If an input is not selected, the
associated tally pin is at logic high (5 volts).
Figure 8 can be used as a guide to design and build indicator
circuits for the tally pins. Since there is no voltage source on the
RS-232 connector, an external voltage source is required.

Windows-Based Program Control
The Signal Enhancement Control Program is Windows
compatible and provides remote control of the following:
• Input selection
• Video adjustments
• Freeze frame control
Installing the software
The program is contained on a single 3.5” diskette and can be
run from the floppy drive, or it can be installed and run from
the hard drive.
To install the software on the hard drive, run setup.exe from the
floppy disk and follow the screen instructions.
By default, the Windows installation creates a C:\S_ENHANC
folder and places two icons (Signal Enhancement Products
Control Program and Signal Enhancement Products Help) into a
group named “Extron Electronics”.
Using the software
1. To run the software, double click on the Signal
Enhancement Products Control Program icon
in the Extron Electronics program group.
2. Click on the comm port that is connected to the Lanciaxi ’s
RS-232 port.

If the image is not displayed correctly
1. If the picture bends or flags at the top of the screen, change
the position of the serration pulse removal DIP switch.
2. If the output image looks too green, the Lanciaxi may be
set to sync on green (the H/HV/SOG switch set to SOG).
3. If the picture hangs off the edge of the screen, adjust the
H Shift control.
4. If the picture jitters while displaying still video (such as
text or line drawings), set the right side of the Still Mode
DIP switch down.
If displaying moving video (such as a movie), set the left
side of the Still Mode DIP switch down.
5. Readjust the picture controls after replacing a video
source.
6. If the image still does not display properly, call the Extron
customer support hotline.
If the image does not respond to picture controls
1. The Lanciaxi is in executive mode. Set the left side of the
Executive Mode DIP switch down.
3. To reset the picture control adjustments to their
default values, press and hold the Freeze button
during power-up. The values for the current input
are reset to the factory default settings.
4. The picture control adjustments increase or decrease
a value that is stored in nonvolatile memory. The
memory stores two sets of four values, one set for
each input. Each set includes the current values for
the four picture control adjustments.
Min LED — Blinks to indicate that the minimum limit has been
10
reached for the picture control being adjusted.
Max LED — Blinks to indicate that the maximum limit has been
11
reached for the picture control being adjusted.
1. There is no indication that a picture control
adjustment is at its limit unless its adjustment knob
is being turned.
2. When the Lancia
xi
is in executive mode (see “Rear
Panel Controls”) the picture controls are disabled
and the Min and Max LEDs both light.
3. If a picture control is not available for the video type
in use (such the Tint control when the input type is
PAL), the Min and Max LEDs blink continuously
when the unavailable control knob is turned.

Operation, cont’d
AUTO SW (auto switch mode) —
Disabled — Use manual input selection via the front panel
Input Selection button or through the RS-232 connector.
Enabled — The input with a video signal present is
selected automatically. If video is present on both inputs,
input 2 is selected.
SERR REM (serration pulse removal) —
Disabled — Serration pulses are passed along with the
vertical sync pulse.
Enabled — Serration pulses are removed from the output
vertical sync pulse.
SPLIT SCR (split screen) —
Disabled — Split screen is disabled.
Enabled — Split screen (demo mode) displays the selected
interlaced video on the left side of the screen and the line
doubled video on the right half of the screen.
STILL (still mode) —
Disabled — Selects motion compensation mode, which
optimizes motion video such as from DVD and laserdisc
players.
Enabled — Selects still mode, which enhances still video
such as text, for easier reading.
VGA (VGA mode) —
Disabled — The number of horizontal output lines is twice
the number of input lines per screen scan. For NTSC, the
number of horizontal lines, normally 262.5, doubles to 525.
For PAL, the number of horizontal lines, normally 312.5,
doubles to 625.
Enabled — The active vertical resolution becomes 480 non-
interlaced horizontal lines, regardless of input.
H+ (horizontal sync polarity pulse) —
Disabled — The horizontal sync polarity will be negative.
Enabled — The horizontal sync polarity will be positive.
V+ (vertical sync polarity pulse) —
Disabled — The vertical sync polarity will be negative.
X MODE (executive mode) —
Disabled — All front panel operations are enabled.
Enabled — Front panel picture control adjustments (Color,
Tint, Contrast, and H Shift) are locked out. The front panel
Min and Max LEDs light together to indicate that executive
mode is enabled.
H/HV/SOG switch — This switch selects the sync signal that is
13
output on the output H BNC.
H position — Horizontal sync only is output on the H BNC.
Vertical sync is output on the V BNC. Use this switch position
for RGBHV video.
HV position — Composite (horizontal and vertical) sync is
output on the H BNC. Use this switch position for RGBS video.
SOG position — Sync is on the green signal and is not output
on the H BNC. Use this switch position for RGsB video.
Operation
Plug in all system components and turn on the input devices
(DVD player, laserdisc player, DSS receiver, etc.) and the output
device. Set the input devices to output video in accordance with
their own operating instructions. The image should appear on
the screen.
For each input, adjust the picture controls (Color, Tint, Contrast,
and H Shift) for the best possible image.
Troubleshooting
If the image does not appear
1. Ensure that all devices are plugged in and powered on.
The Lanciaxi is receiving power if the front panel power
LED is lit.
2. Ensure that an active input is selected on the Lanciaxi.
3. Ensure that the H/HV/SOG switch is in the correct
position for the video output.
4. Ensure that the horizontal and vertical sync DIP switches
are in the correct position.
5. Check the cabling and make corrections as necessary.
6. Call the Extron customer support hotline if necessary.
Enabled — The vertical sync polarity will be positive.
