Product Overview

Description

The IN1402 is a full featured video scaler that combines quad standard video recording, advanced
video scaling/line multiplication and a 3-input video switcher into a single product. The IN1402
Video Scaler is recommended for display system applications requiring superb video scaling for
composite video and S-video signals.

Features

• Superb Video Scaling Technology — Employing sophisticated video de-interlacing,
scaling and filtering techniques, the IN1402 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 IN1402 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
IN1402 provides accurate video decoding of composite video and S-video signals in the
NTSC, PAL, SECAM, and NTSC 4.43 video standards. The video decoder employs an
advanced 3-line adaptive comb filter for composite video input signals.

• Pick the Perfect Resolution — The IN1402 offers several output resolutions to match the
optimum or native resolution for most display devices. The IN1402 provides a
progressive scan output signal at standard resolutions, ensuring optimal image quality
with a wide range of CRT, LCD, DMD, D-ILA/LCOS, and plasma display devices.

• 3-Input Video Switcher — The IN1402 provides multiple inputs and flexible switching
capability to accommodate a variety of applications. The unit has inputs for two
composite video signals and one S-video signal.

• Memory — The IN1402 can recall previously stored settings with the push of a single
button. All 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.

• On-Screen Menus — Provide easy control of 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 on­screen 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.

• System Info — Is 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 Aspect Ratio Controls — with individual horizontal and
vertical image adjustments make it easy to precisely fit the active video image to the
display area. Comprehensive aspect ratio controls adjust the vertical and horizontal
image size to accommodate various input signal and display device aspect ratios.

• RS-232 Serial Control — Is provided for all scaler functions including input selection,
image adjustments and output settings. The IN1402’s comprehensive RS-232 control
capacity facilitates complete system integration and effortless control when combined
with a third party control system.

• Rack Mountable — Two IN1402 scalers can be mounted side-by-side using the optional
Universal 1U Rack Shelf (Extron part #60-190-01). This shelf can also be used for a single
unit, or the Basic Rack False Faceplate Kit (Extron part #70-339-01) can be used.

IN1402 User’s Manual

Compatibility

Input

The IN1402 Video Scaler accepts composite video signals (on Inputs 1 and 2) and S-video signals (on
Input 3) in the NTSC, PAL, SECAM, and NTSC 4.43 video standards. The unit automatically senses
the video standard of the input signal and decodes it appropriately.

Output

The IN1402 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, 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 the same as the input signal. Therefore, the output refresh rate is 59.94 Hz
for NTSC input signals and 50 Hz for PAL and SECAM input signals.

Installation

This section offers step-by-step instructions for installing the IN1402 Video Scaler. An application
diagram is provided on the following page.

Read the instructions carefully before initiating the installation procedure. Make sure that there is

no power connected to the IN1402, and that the power button is off.

1. Place or install the IN1402 in the desired location. Make sure that the unit is seated on a flat
surface or is securely installed in a standard 19” equipment rack. Two IN1402 scalers can be
mounted side-by-side using the optional Universal 1U Rack Shelf (Extron part #60-190-01). This
shelf can also be used for a single unit or the Basic Rack False Faceplate Kit (Extron part #
70-339-01) can be used.

2. Connect the video sources to the IN1402 input(s). Inputs 1 and 2 accept a composite video signal
(on an RCA male and BNC female connector, respectively), while Input 3 accepts an S-video
signal (4-pin mini DIN female).

3. The IN1402 features a 15-Pin HD female output. VGA display devices can be connected directly
to the IN1402 output port using a standard male-to-male VGA cable.

4. Connect a control system, computer, or other source for serial commands to the RS-232 remote
connector (if applicable). For more information about remote control of the IN1402, see the Remote
Operation section on page 16.

5. Connect power to the IN1402 using the IEC power cable (included).

6. Turn on the audiovisual source, the IN1402, and the display device.

7. Using the front panel controls or RS-232 commands, adjust and store the parameters for each

input source. Refer to the Input menu section on page 9.

8. Set the Output Resolution to match your display device. Refer to the Output menu on page 12 for
details.
